Hooray!  What a "Sweet" day!
The Simply Sweet Cupcake Bag PDF Pattern is finally available!
I'm excited to bring it to you!
This Cupcake Bag is loved by little girls everywhere!
I've made it for many Birthday Parties!
Hang your cupcakes on your dining room chairs and Welcome smiles!
I like to fill my cupcake bag with a children's apron, cookie cutters,
 frosting and all the
"sweet" supplies for cupcake treats!
Be sure to include my Swiss Rolls!

Great FUN for Easter!
(I will have more cupcake bags listed in my etsy shop  for those
that don't sew or don't want to sew!)
Enjoy!
Have a "Sweet" Day!
Thank you for visiting!

Welcome Friends......Welcome Spring!
Recently I visited a Pottery Barn Store at the beautiful
Biltmore Fashion Park Outdoor Mall in Phoenix, Arizona.
There are more than 70 shops at Biltmore Fashion Park, organized into a cosmopolitan feeling area where you walk through gardens and fountains on brick walkways to unique and beautiful retail shops.
I was so inspired!
Lemons, Green Apples, Flowers, Birds and Nests were everywhere.

I was with my family. It didn't take long to figure the girls needed to do their thing
and the boys needed to do theirs!
The boys went on their way visiting the Apple Store and my two daughters stayed with me.
I left with the feeling of wanting Spring all around me.
The boys left with wanting the new electronic gadgets, so if they were writing this post
we would see a lot of Apple Inspiration,like the Hero Ipod two, since they are not writing this post,
you will see a little Pottery Bran Inspiration.......




 My favorite..Pepsi crates!
I left Pottery Barn with so many new ideas and inspiration that left me
wanting to create more nests with eggs!
So, I'm back in my breakfast nook creating more Spring,
along with 900 more projects waiting to get finished!
Do you ever feel...
Once Upon A Time There Was Time
Have a beautiful Spring Day where ever you are!

What Fun it is to create for little baby girls!
When my first daughter was born, it was essential to SEW for her.
There was nothing that fit her, she weighed One Pound, Three Ounces!
When she grew into cabbage patch clothes, I was super excited!
Until then, my Mother showed me how to sew little tiny night gowns.
We embellished the tiny night gowns a lot like you see here.
We made them much more simple and less ruffles, but the tiny little pink rose bud
flowers always remind me of my miracle baby girl!

I made ruffles for the reverse side of the onesie. Bloomers is what I had in mind!
Eyelet trim with fabric ruffles made on the sewing machine with flower rose bud trim
to match the front of the onesie.



The onesies you see here are by Gerber. I love to embellish these sweet little
onesies for Baby Shower Gifts. There are so many fun ways to add a little
sweetness and charm!

Rolled fabric flowers, green fabric leaves, ribbon and a pink button are hand sewn to the onesie.
I like to make my rolled flowers with no raw edges for babies.
The little reversible skirt has two fabrics, one different pattern on each side.
 I love this baby skirt for comfort and simplicity.
Great for on the go and super fast for Dress Up!

This onesie is made with one decorative button, and two styles of ribbon.
Rolled Fabric Flower with the same ribbon.

This one is my favorite because it is so simple, but sweet!
Who doesn't love red rick rack?

A red and white polka dot reversible skirt is made to match.
My little daughter was having fun hanging out in my sewing room,
she was using her Teddy Bear to model for us.
You will see a simple tutorial for the reversible skirt at:

Welcome Friends!
Today at Sew A Little Happiness, my sister shares a quilt that I've admired for many years. A quilt that shares a lot of meaning to my Sister and Mother.  I can't show it to you, you must go see it for yourself.
There is something spectacular about Handmade Family Quilts, especially quilts that are handed down from one generation to another. There is more then just a quilt being handed down, there is a story, something to learn, a spirit of giving, and something to carry forward to another generation.

I will share with you a "Fun and Done" quilt that was handmade
 and given to me by my sister Annette. I cherish and love it!
(You may remember this quilt from last Fall when I was displaying my pumpkins.)

I was so excited to receive this beautiful quilt for Christmas!
 Sew A little Happiness....
Handmade quilts are from the heart.

Don't foget to enter our
