My girl!

Here is a picture of my little princess wearing her minnie mouse dress and mouse ears clip I made her. She got to show it off at Disney last weekend. She was SO cute and I was so proud that she was wearing my creation. BUT unfortunately, she threw up on the dress. :( Thankfully it happened towards the end of the day, but I was so sad... It's ok, though, it all came off. :)

2kute

Have you "met" 2kute?! She is a fellow etsian and also my mom! She is a very talented person. She used to be a full time nurse, until a horrible disease attacked her body, leaving her no choice but to quit her job. After numerous misdiagnosis by several doctors, it was discovered that she has ibromyalgia. She was diagnosed several years ago and has progressively gotten worse. The doctors are at a loss and say that nothing else can be done. 2kute lives in Florida, and the heat makes her disease even worse, causing her to be stuck at home because it's much too hot for her to be out. As soon as she steps outside, her body swells up. I have witnessed this firsthand. My twin sister and I do what we can to help her, like cleaning her house or cooking and baking for her at times. She had been having AC issues in her house (trust me when I say this, her house is a sauna) and when the technician came out, he told my parents that it will cost $2,000 to replace the indoor unit. It has to be replaced for the house to cool down. Now you're thinking, "that's not a lot of money"... 2kute is not able to work, and has been denied disability. Her husband is self employed and is doing the best he can to make money to pay the bills. It is very hard as their daughter to sit by and watch them struggle and not be able to help them. It's hard to go visit them and start sweating after 5 minutes of sitting in their living room and know that now even being at home is a hindrance to my mother. I say all this to ask if you or someone you know can help. A fellow etsian of 2kute's, along with my sister have started a blog to help 2kute. Check it out here for more info.
Thanks for listening!!!!

Minnie Mouse dress

We are taking my 11 month old daughter to Disney this weekend. So I tackled a new project before we go. :) I am a novice when it comes to sewing. But I had a sweet friend teach me how to make a pillowcase dress. And the best part, she taught me how to hand embroider. I have a new hobby!
My daughter will be showing off my project in the streets of Disney! :) And she will also have the matching ears bow.

Of all the clips and bows in my shop, this is one of my favorites!
We are planning a special family vacation for next month, can you guess where we're going!? We love Disney and are so excited to take our 10 month old for the first time! I am making her a special dress to wear, and of course this cute bow. :)
I think every little girl should have this clip when they go to that magical place!!!

WOW Wednesday

This entry is from CreativeMinds. She has started WOW Wednesdays and I thought it was so neat! Go to CreativeMinds to see more neat shops!
Today marks the first weekly post of WOW Wednesday. I thought it'd be cool to list a WOW shop every week. You are more than welcome to participate and list the same shop. If you are participating in WOW wednesday, please do so by posting a link to your blog, and I will check it out!!! :)
My first WOW store is 2Kute Kreations. This shop is so super cute. 2Kute is truly a talented crafter. It's hard to pick a favorite item from her store. Here are some of her 2Kute Kreations. For more, check out her store here.

I agree with CreativeMinds, 2kute is just way too cute! :)
Here are some of my favorites!
