Here are some cute little T's that I made for E. He is so excited about these:o) The shirts were purchased from Walmart. The only thing I don't like about their boy t-shirts is they have a pocket. I have to remove the pockets and that is definitely a pain, but I do love paying only $3.50 for each shirt. I can't decide which I like best.  They are so fun:o) They took very little time to make and E is so happy about them. He can't wait to wear them to preschool. I have some fabric that I purchased from Joann's the other day that will match BOTH of these shirts perfectly. I see some new shorts in E's very near future;o) *** I am in the process of reconstructing my site. Hopefully it will be easier to access things, and look a little cleaner:o) 

I know that during the week last week, I just kind of sprung on you guys that I would be hosting "a boy" week.  I realized that there just aren't enough projects out in bloggy world concerning our little boys. It's hard to create for them. You don't normally hear cute, crafty and boy in the same sentence:o) So hopefully this week, we can help change that a little;o)   E has patiently watched me make things for S.R. for the past few weeks and I told him his time was coming. And now it's here:o) To start the week off, I am sharing with you this messenger bag. We are labeling it as an "Explorer" bag, so that it sounds a lot cooler than it actually is:o) I had some leftover canvas from my kitchen curtains, and a little bit of "boy" scrap fabric in my closet, so this project was 100% free to me. Here are the measurements for the bag: 6-12"x9" panels(main panel and flap) 4-9"x3" panels(the sides) 2-12"x3" panels(the ...

We are back and I am sooooo glad to be home. What a trip! It could have been so much better if we all hadn't gotten sick as soon as we got there:o/.  There were seven in our condo, and of that seven there were the following: runny nose coughing sneezing vomiting diarrhea fever We were a mess. And during all of this, we were spending 10 hour days at the parks. Are we insane...um it's Disney. We weren't on our death beds yet:o) Anyway, we had a wonderful/miserable time there. I wish that our friends could have had a better first experience with their families. This was our second. And our third will be several years down the road:o) While we were down there we got to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Here are some pics from the parade. Look at the abs on Jasmine....jealous!  There's the Mouse!  Love Captain Jack Sparrow  The kids love Toy Story, and S.R. calls this character "Buzz Right-here"  E pretends to be Buzz all the time, but when it came t...

Hey Guys I hope that you all have had a fantabulous weekend. Mine has been extremely eventful....let's just say that some little girls should have auditioned for the Poltergeist movie;o)  Just wanted to share some wonderful news with you all. I was contacted a few weeks ago by Michelle at  Someday Crafts  to see if I was interested in sharing my Disney Themed outfits that I made for S.R. She is hosting a Disney Week on her blog this week. Of course I said yes! Check my side bar for some of the outfits I made. Also, check out the Mickey Mouse Button on the right. It's a direct link to Someday Crafts! After checking out the other Disney themed items, make sure to check the rest of her blog out. You won't leave without being inspired!!! I am not using my computer right now...it's a friend's, hence the lack of pictures and links. I am using a Mac...I have no idea what I am doing?!?!?!?:o) Have a great day!!!

So I guess you are thinking that it's about time that I made these shorts, since I have been talking about making them for a few weeks now:o) I made them last night and it only took 20 minutes. My only excuse for not making them is pure laziness. I am trying to wrap up a few Disney things b/c our trip will be here sooner than we know it:o) The kids are so excited...I AM SO EXCITED! I used my usual pattern for shorts, and just added large white circles on the front. The circles are white felt that I added some Heat Bond to, and adhered them to the front of the shorts. I did stitch around the edges of the shorts, just in case:o) I am currently trying to put Busy Bags together for my kids. We are going with friends, girls in one vehicle, boys in the other, so I need to make sure that E's bag is packed with the right stuff b/c the hubs isn't eactly creative when it comes to entertaining the little ones:o) He's a good daddy, but 12 hours is a long time to keep someone occupi...

Thank you to all of you who took the time to leave a comment on the Minnie Mouse post. All of your comments were so sweet and I really appreciate them. So, our winner is.... #11- Cassandra! Her comment was: I just saw your blog via one pretty thing. I love the outfit! We're taking my daughter to disneyland for her first bday next week. She already has a minnie outfit but definitly needs the clippies. Thanks for the tutorial! Cassandra, shoot me an email so I can get you your mouse ears a.s.a.p.:o) I know I said that I would have E's Mickey shorts ready for this morning, but a fall wreath got in the way(more on that next week), and traffic school(don't ask). I am in a rush this morning trying to get out the door, so I hope to have the shorts completed by the end of naptime today, and I will post them later this afternoon. Have a great Friday!!!!

I hope that you all had a great Monday. Yesterday was E's first day of preschool. He did great. I did great until I had to leave him. S.R. and I both cried when we got in the vehicle:( She cried b/c she wanted to stay at "pwe-skoo." I cried for the obvious reasons. He was unsure about being there, but when I came to pick him up he was all smiles. So anyway, on to day 2 of Disney Week. Today I have the bottom half of a Minnie Mouse outfit. I have a white t-shirt to go with the skirt. I am going to have it monogrammed soon. I am sharing 2 tutorials today. For the skirt and the ears hair bows. The bloomers are a pair of shorts just like the Snow White shorts, but I ran elastic thru the cuffs of the legs and added the eyelet trim. L-O-V-E It! Here's what you need: Skirt: -2 Coordinating Fabrics -Elastic -Thread Hair Bows: -Black Felt -1" Grosgrain Ribbon -Extra Thin Ribbon(not sure the measurements on the small ribbon) -Thread and Needle -Stick Pin -Hot Glue Gun and ...
