Dress Form Bow Holders

Can you believe how cute these turned out? Many hours of intense labor have gone into this creation. Ta dah... my new bow holders! They are made to hold hair bows, headbands, and even little hair clips. Just like any other fabulous lady--multi-talented! This idea all started with a cute bow holder I saw at Hobby Lobby. It was a dress form made out of wood, painted, and then had tulle/ribbon stapled to the bottom. Clearly I am no artist and knew I couldn't paint wood to look posh, but baby I can sew! Several attempts later here we are. My girls were crazy for them. There is one in each of their rooms already (and they actually hang from a decorative hook). These princesses are mounted on a stand. Completely ready to adorn a lovely dresser or bathroom counter. I {heart} them - giggle, giggle! I also {heart} my incredible family - big smile! BTY, I have successfully completed three random acts of kindness today. Have you topped me???? I hope so...

Mallory's Stroller Bag

Okay, I said yesterday couldn't get any better, but it did. I took a Lush bath today. This actually qualifies for a shoulder scrunch giggle! I'm totally giddy. So, here's the latest creation. I have truly been sewing tons of things lately, but just not taking the time to take photos before I send them off. I'm kicking myself right now. I really wanted to be committed to blogging at least twice a week, but it's just not happening. Next week it won't happen either but for good reason. I leave in the morning for the beach. Beach and babes (the small children type; not buff, hot men). Total bliss!! This, I suppose, is supposed to be some fireworks for you and more to come after I get home. My first reveal of the stroller bag. Many of these have I made, but this will be the first documentation. It's sized perfectly to hold a small case of diaper wipes & diapers, plus any other small essentials. There's a small hook/link at the top to hook onto a stroller. I really feel super smart for my creation, but I know other people have made something like this. I want to be humble, but I at this moment I will confess... So many people have LOVED this type of bag that I've given them. It's a winner. So go on and tell my little bag that she's fabu! I hugged on her and kissed her before releasing her to a beautiful customer. Surely she will go on to a divine home. Oh, and just for you nosey little ones out there--yes, this design came from Embroitique. The designs are to die for! Seize life. Live it to the fullest.

P.S. Do you like my model?! That would be the sweet little PomPom. She's the baby kitty at our house that I love endlessly. I sooo promised that I would blog about my Devons one day & I haven't forgotten. This is still in the works.

Monogrammed Onesie

Oooh, Aaaah. Isn't she just the cutest thing of the day? If there is one rule in life, it should be that all newborn girls be poshed out! I L.O.V.E. this little onesie. I shall rush through this post because the day is getting away from me. Off to pick up sweet babes from school & package this up to send off. What a day... I'm sick, the house is a terrible wreck, no food for dinner (because the fridge is so dirty it needs cleaned before I can possibly buy any groceries), tests to study for with the babes, baseball game at dinner time, I haven't bathed today, laundry is behind, and I'm not sure what else is coming down on top of me. But... my husband is incredible, my children are so happy it's crazy, my BFF is as good to me as my own sister, and God's love is shinin' down on me!!! I don't think the day can get any better. Never forget to be thankful. Never forget to be kind. I'm smiling at you. Are you smiling back?

Header Heaven

Oh, I am beaming. I have a beautiful header on my blog! You may have noticed the multiple changes that were shockingly cruddy. After finally admitting I couldn't do it myself, I found just the right chicka to help me. NOW it is divine! Smooches galore to thephOtospOt for my creation. Her designs go from totally funky to deliciously girly. She is just the sweetest lady and got everything to me amazingly fast. I am super thankful and once again feel spoiled. Sometimes the smallest things in life are just grand...

Scrunchy Flowers

Drum roll please.....

Today is my first tutorial. I am shyly blushing. I wonder if anyone is truly interested in how I make something, but I suppose I'll find out. I do have 10 followers now. Consider that a perfect 10 for Sew Poshy!! I have actually had a few people ask about these flowers so I will document the making of one. Here's a pic of the end result. Isn't she a sweet little flower? Simply flowericious!! If I had all the time in the world, I would edge each flower in sparkly glitter. Someday... So if you want the super posh way of making little scrunchy flowers, squeal and click here. Have a fabulous day!!

I Pad Flower Bag

Here's the latest... I have the sweetest little friend who inspired my new bag. Peek at Liberty Original and you will see her fabu idea for these mega flowers. I squealed in delight when I saw her flower onsie! With permission I'm a copycatter!! My Super Duper Valentine gave me an I Pad this year (I'm officially spoiled rotten). I needed some posh protection for it & soooo didn't like the traditional cases you can buy for them. And ta dah, this is my creation. It's padded, lined in yummy raspberry colored fabric, and topped off with a rhinestone button. I simply strut around the house with it. The kids think I'm crazy. Let's hope the neighbors don't see me.

Korker Ribbon

Here's today's true love: korker ribbon!! I have always admired it, even ordered it online & hoarded over my little stash. Hoard no more--korker ribbon for everyone at my house!! I took the tiny plunge and baked some up for myself. Clearly it is as super easy as everyone says. I read numerous tutorials and studied lots of pictures, then set off on my adventure. I already had clothespins to hold the ends. A quick trip to the store for 1/4 inch dowels & I was ready to go. Here's the result of two batches so far...

Want my recipe?!? Okay, here's the scoop. After I wrapped the ribbon on my dowels I completed soaked them in water. I snuggled them on a cookie sheet and in they went, baked in a 225 degree oven for 45 minutes. I like to think of it as a posh sauna treatment. They came out perfect! Yes, I'm giggling. I think I'll make sweet little korker hair clips for my chubby babe. Just like icing on top!! :) Happy day to everyone. Smile lots today. It feels so good.
