Showin off the new skillz!



Me and mommy put our heads together and figured out the mystery of the wrap skirt. Once I got this made I needed a automatic butt kicker cause this is way easy LOL.

So now us plus sized ladies finally have a nice wrap skirt. I plan on making LOTS more of these this week.

This one here was made with a vintage bedsheet and the colors are pink and green...yep, my favorite!

I used some eyelet lace on the edge of the outside and on the inside too so that they match.


This skirt fits a 48 inch waist all the way to a 56 inch waist. I had to wear this down on my hips a bit cause it was a bit too big for me. I know one thing it sure was comfortable to wear. I am so glad I made it!

You can of course find this on Etsy
I have it listed in my store for 40 bucks and shipping is priority mail at 5 bucks and free shipping if you buy anything else in the store! I still got plenty of soap so what are ya waiting for!

A new hair barrette I created!!!!




OK my camera batteries are almost dead so the pictures are blurry as can be. But you get the general idea anyways. I made this today when I was making all the jewelry I made. I thought it was cute till I put it on Maylee just now. OMG its not cute its freaking GORGEOUS!!!!




I have created a fairy princess hair accessory for babies, and for mamas too! I would be more than happy to put this in my hair.

Of course you can see I used that cool vine trim I bought. That stuff has just inspired me to no end. I can envision so many great things made from it.

I took a regular barrette and glues the prety flower to it and I glued buttons on the sides. When I make these to sell I am not gonna do buttons, I am gonna put more flowers on it. The vine trails down each side of the head and to give the vine some weight I glued some rhinestone type stars on it. That weights it down just right so it will lay pretty much the way you put it. I took a zillion pics of Maylee and she was falling all over the couch cause she wouldn't sit up and this thing never budged LOL

I am making these to sell as of tomorrow! Seeing my lil princess look so gorgeous and so prety in this made me think maybe other mama's would like to have a fairy baby princess (wink)

Maylee's new high chair

My neighbor, bless his heart, came over today and asked me if we had a high chair for the baby. I told him, no we havent had the money to get one, and he asked me if I wanted his high chair he used when he was a baby. I was ecstatic!

He says its 35 years old, but I think HE may be older. I am 33 and he looks way older, but anyhoo! I am confident its old enough t
o be considered vintage. Its all wood and it needs to be cleaned up super bad and maybe a good coat of varnish or something, or at least some oil to make it shine. It is late here and I have done made 5 pounds of soap molded it, scented it, cut it, and almost done wrapping it, made a big breakast and some jewelry too, I am beat. I will make Noor clean this up tomorrow LOL

Here is some pics:




cool huh? I can tell its old cause of the picture on the back of the seat and also the fact its all wood! They dont make stuff like this now. I am sure this is from the late 60's or early 70's. If it is 35 years old that would put it being made about 1973??
