Tu Tu Too Cute!

I recently visited my daughter and decided to make a tutu for my granddaughter. For those of you who don't sew, you will love making this no sew tutu...no sewing machine needed:) I used this link http://www.youtube.com/user/CraftyGuides from youtube that gives very good directions. Actually, I should've watched it 2 or 3 times before I started and I would've learned not to crowd my ties as much...hmmm. I did have to make some adjustments, but as you can see, it turned out wonderfully. And, our little "ballerina" looks tutu too cute!



This cute little face makes this tutu look even cuter.



And since I made one for little MJ, I had to make one for our other granddaughter, that is only 3 months older than her cousin, for her 1st birthday. Unfortunately, I had to mail it to her, so no pictures of her in it. But, I'm sure she looks tutu too cute in her tutu, also:) I made it in a little brighter pink tuille`.



I used the pre-cut tuille` (so much easier) that I got at Hobby Lobby. You might watch for their tuille` to go on sale or use their 40% off coupon that they run every other week, as it can be a little pricey.

If you have a little ballerina in your life, you will definitely have fun making her a cute tutu. It's a great weekend project!

29 and Holding

It seems like only yesterday Can it really be possible that our little girl is 29 years old today?? Her dad and I were so blessed when she came into our world...fast and furious. She only took an hour to deliver!! Anyway, she is many miles away from us now and raising her own little boy and girl with her husband. But we wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MJ! We are so proud of the woman you've become and love you SO much!
