Birthday Bow Bow Tie

Red Polk-a-Dot Birthday
Bow Tie for the Lil' Guy


I've been the worst friend, daughter, sister, crafter, blogger, cleaner, laundry doer, linky hostess...etc lately!  BUT I am getting back on track! (Ok this last weekend I dropped the ball on the linky but I have a good reason for forgetting.  I actually got to go OUT to dinner 3 nights with my husband through work and had a blast!  Fancy Restaurants, super awesome food and getting to know some of the people my husband works with better was just great!  I wasn't sure how I was going to do since I'm pretty much always in mommy world...but everyone was so fun and easy to talk to. and I owe BIG TIME thanks to those who helped watch the kids...you know who you are ;) )

ANYWAYS....back to the post...My friend who is the mom of this ADORABLE little boy was getting his birthday photos done and she asked if I could make a bow tie for him.  It was great because I'd been wanting to sew something for a while and this was so cute and fun to make.  And as you can see, the bow tie looked adorable on little Mr. GQ here.  

I really enjoyed making this bow tie, along with when I whipped up this neck tie for my little guy for his first birthday photos and then made a bunch more for the craft fair in the fall.  I have been debating putting neck ties and bow ties in the etsy shop.  I thought it was a great idea until I realized other people were already doing it...I am still debating.  I have a few left over from the craft fair so I should just list them.  So far I have been slow to get items listed BUT I have been excited about baby boy my canvas sign has been doing well.  If anyone is interested in ordering a bow tie or neck tie, just message me through here on my etsy shop and we can arrange a custom order.

These great photos were taken by a great family photographer named Dani Christensen you can view her work and schedule and appointment with her at http://www.danichristensen.com/

Prince Cape

Prince Cape

The girls seem to have all the fun when it comes to dress up, but I found a quick and easy tutorial for a prince cape so the boys can get in on the dress up fairy tale fun as well!  I used the Cape Tutorial from the Pleated Poppy HERE.

This one is for a friend (love the fabric she picked out).  We tried making it together during a playdate...but I forgot one thing...I rarely get anything accomplished when the kids are awake so that didn't really work out! lol.  We'll have to have a mom's only sewing/craft get together another time! :)

Once the kids were in bed, this was SUPER fast to finish.  I didn't have iron on fusible stuff for the logo on the back, but just pinned it in place as securely as possible and stitched it on and we did velcro on the neck tie to make it safer and easier to get on and off.
