On holidays ... but still made a tutu

My family and I have left the big smoke and are staying in Taree, NSW for a week or so over the Christmas break to visit my and my husband's families. Just before we left a new box of tulle arrived and I couldn't resist to take a few rolls of tulle with me on our holiday. I call the tutu below a "party" tutu as it leaves behind the reds and greens of Christmas and brings some different colours into the pallette of what is left of the Australian summer. I have used "French blue" and "Garnet" tulle evenly dispersed and have made the skirt length a little shorter for summer, whilst making the skirt have a little bit more body (or fluff). You will notice Jessica is modelling this one which demonstrates that although the tutus are sized, there is still a bit of give in them for older children. This tutu is available for purchase through http://www.madeit.com.au/detail.asp?id=45379.

Shabby chic bunting flags - perfect for a summer tea party ...

Beautiful bunting, pennant strings, fabric flags ... whatever you like to call them ... they are perfect for adding a splash of colour to any girl's bedroom, nursery, playroom or cubby house, and can be used as a party decoration for tea or garden parties. 

The original set of these flags were made for my eldest daughter's (Jessica's) room (see photos). Her room is largely pink and white with the odd splash of red so I thought this fabric combination would be perfect. The nine double-sided flags consist of a repeat of four different fabrics - shabby-chic floral on white background, bright pink vintage floral, red, pink and green spots on white background, dark pink and white small checks - all strung/sewn together with bright red poplin.

I sold a second set of these exact flags to a friend with twin girls (in Sydney) a few months ago. A third set of these flags have now been sent off to a little girl in Huoma, Louisiana, USA (sold on Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=22510113).

I can't wait to make a purple-mauve set of buntings flags now for Abigail's (second daughter) room.

Fairy Gabrielle's 3rd Birthday Party ...

This is Gabrielle. She was given this "lavender" tutu to wear as part of her fairy costume at her 3rd birthday party. The theme of the party was "Fairies" and all of the kids did a great job of dressing up. Below are just some photos her mum took of her at her party. The other little girl in the photos is Annika (also 3 years old) and she is wearing a "coral" tutu. I think the girls look lovely ... and very cute (nice tutus!!)
