Mod Monkey Party

Mod monkey party for my daughter and nephew!


matching cupcakes!

I made all the cupcake toppers with my cricut-



I love how they turned out!

I added pompoms to the birthday boy and girl's hats to make them a little more special-


Claire thought the hat was a torture device-

For adult favors I found a monkey oreo mold at Michaels.  Just add some chocolate and an oreo and you've got a cute little favor!


Kind of hard to see through the plastic, I wish I'd taken a picture of one out of the plastic, but they got eaten up too fast!

and favor bags for the kids filled with goodies.  Just a paper bag with another tag stapled to the top-


Party outfits!!  I got their shirts from here, and was really happy with how they turned out!

and I ordered her hair clip from here!  Adorable, I loved it!

The tutu I made myself with a couple rolls of tulle from Hobby Lobby, didn't take long at all!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sawyer and Claire!!

Butterfly Party

Hannah wanted a butterfly themed bowling party for her 6th birthday. What a theme!
We decided to make each of the girls a butterfly hair clip-

Hannah's own product cards-



favor bags


the butterfly on the favor tag was 3D-

Hannah designed and picked out the fabric for her own birthday outfit-

She even helped me sew the ruffle for the skirt-

A "6 and a butterfly" on a purple t-shirt, what else would you wear to a 6th butterfly birthday party-

Per Hannah's request we used the leftover fabric to make a matching dress for little sister.

butterfly cake-

And butterfly headbands for all the girls!  Everything went down hill from there since it had to be set up in the corner of a dark bowling alley, but all the girls seemed to have a great time!

Flower tee

For my neices birthday I wanted to try making her a flower shirt I'd seen online.

I cut an oval shape out of cardstock on my cricut and used it as a template to make my flower petals. I used a 4.5 inch oval, but this can be adjusted depending on the size of shirt you're making.  I iron fusible interfacing onto the wrong side of my fabric and then traced the petals onto the paper and cut them out-

To make the center of the flower I cut 3/4 of a 3-inch circle-

I put the first petel starting just under the arm-

I laid everything out and adjusted the way I wanted it to look before I ironed anything down.  Then I started with the petal and iron the center on the flower on over the top.

I ironed everything in place-

Then stitched around them all to finish off the look.  I used coordinating colored thread for each petal, just changing out my top thread and leaving my bobbin the green color that matched the t-shirt.

A closer look at the stitching-

Here is the finished tee!  It turned out so cute, I want one for me!

Then a skirt with coordinating material-


I made a matching hair bow!
