She's getting married!!

I have SSOOO many ideas in my head that I feel I'm either going to A. POP, or B. forget everything and cry when I try to remember that super awesome idea I had, but can no longer remember.

I am a bridesmaid, along with my other sister-in-law, Catrina, and Shalane's fiance's oldest daughter, Brielle. We finally found our Bridesmaid dresses!

Aren't they awesome? I just love the silky rosette accent :)

I had a really cute idea for tutu's for all the flower girls (there are 6 of them!) and was so excited to make them, but the bride took over the project, and I'm so excited to see how they turn out and how adorable my daughters and nieces will be on the big day.

My next idea is cute little ballet slippers for all of them. So I want to take those cheap, solid color slippers from Walmart and turn them into ballet style slippers by sewing shiney ribbons into the back of the shoe where the slipper material meets the bottom of the slipper with enough excess that it can be tied up around their calf to mimic how a ballet shoe looks. I also thought that adding some kind of cute big flower to the top of the toe area would be way cute. I'm going to make a pair and if I get the bride's approval, I'll post a tutorial.

I'm also taking on what I'm calling Project Veil. I cannot tell you how many idea I have for the veil and the bride's hair!! I can't wait to get Cat over to my house so I can have someone to practice on. Think feathers, gems, cascades of white netting, and a touch of pink and orange ribbon with white roses. It's pretty in my head, but probably sounds a bit goddy on paper. No need to fear tho! It will be perfect :)

And for the centerpiece's of the tables at the reception I found this:

and the bride found this:

and together they are going to make one super cute centerpiece! Seriously guys, Google has become my BEST FRIEND lately just trying to find wedding ideas and looking for pictures of ideas that I have. (I'm not very good at explaining things, as you can probably already tell...)

So keep checking back for all the fun wedding idea updates. I'll be keeping everyone posted :)

Rag Rolls!!

Need a new way to curl your little ones hair that doesn't have her screaming at the thought of getting burned or having to stand still for a half hour? I sure did!

Rag rolls. Perfect solution.

Took about

My mom asked me the other day if I remembered a girl who used to baby sit me all the time when I was little, and did rag rolls in my hair before my parents came home so it would be curly the next day.

I didn't, otherwise this would NOT be something I am just now blogging about. So I decided to try it out on my daughter's hair since she has her Cmas program tomorrow for school and there will be no time in the morning to do it with the iron.

Success! My two year old even asked me to do it to her! This is how they look. Reminds me of the good ol' days :)

I thought you guys might like a how to video because in my excitement after my mom's comment, I didn't wait to make one so I surfed Youtube and found this one that I liked. This lady doesn't call them rag rolls, but they're basically the same thing.

I did mine the exact same way she did in this video which is why I chose this one. Some people do them differently like with bobby pins or sponge rollers, but this was what I thought would be most comfortable for my girls to sleep in so that's how I did it. Apparently I'm not alone in those thoughts :)

This is how mine turned out.

Ah, my little curly haired beauties :)
