Perfect Projects for Spring!

It's official!! Spring. It's here. I have one crocus that's bloomed in our front yard, and our tulips, daffodils, mums, orchids and tiger lilies are sprouting. Even the rose bush has new growth. I can't wait for some less-crisp air, though Lillian and I have been spending our afternoons lately in the back yard where there's full sun for the better part of the day. Patiently waiting for those mid-50's!

With the arrival of spring, I've made a boatload of things...

Bubble Capri Tutorial

With spring just around the corner, I've been making a few things for my Etsy shop, and these Bubble Capri pants are one of them. I just love toddlers in capri pants, and the bubble hem is just an extra touch of cuteness. I've included a tutorial on how to start from scratch and make your own pattern, as well as how to assemble the pants. 

Bam! 

How stinking adorable, right?!

DIY Kid Pajamas

Lillian now has a handful of mix-n-match jammies, and they're so adorable! I made 2 night gowns - one from a pair of eyelet curtains, the other from a thrifted pillowcase, a tank top from one of my old tank tops, a romper from an old tank top, and 2 pairs of lounge pants - one from the eyelet curtains and one from a pair of my old lounge pants. They're all adorable, and she loves them, and they seem very comfy for her to run and play in. I can't wait to find more tank tops to make into these rompers, because she's in love with hers. I found some more fabric and old pj's of mine to make into jammies for her, so I'm absolutely going to make more of the 2 piece sets. So addicting! Here are hers...

This eyelet nightgown was made with a rectangle of fabric about twice the width of her chest/belly, and an elastic top and tie shoulders. Since the edge of the fabric was adorable scallops, I used that as the bottom of the nightgown. This is one of my favorites and only took about 20 minutes. Perfect for a nap time crafting project.

DIY Toddler Bubble Romper

Today's Make It Monday brings a bubble romper, which is a complete nap time craft! I'll show you how to make this one. Here are a few modeling photos of Lilly in this adorable number...

 Isn't it adorable!?

Adorable One-Shoulder Toddler Sundress

Welcome spring!!  Though I never put my sandals away, it has been so warm that I decided to make this amazingly adorable sundress and break out Lillian's sandals. Oh wait, she's barefoot. Same difference.

Adorable, no?
