Burlap Wreath

I needed a new wreath for my front door and a burlap wreath seemed like just the thing. I got the largest wreath form they had at Joannes, and I wish I had done a bit smaller. I followed the instructions here:

Mario Brothers Costumes (princess peach, bowser, mario, luigi, diddy kong, toadstool)

Here is the dress I made for McKenna to be Princess Peach. This is a Cinderella dress pattern that I modified to be Princess Peach.

I made the crown also. Isn't she a cute princess!

Kaitlyn wanted to be Bowser. We got some yellow clothes. I made her a tail, a tutu, and horns. My husband made her a shell out of cardboard and duct tape.

Master Bedroom Remodel

A couple of years ago, I wanted to repaint our bedroom. We had gotten this nice new bedroom set and the wood blended in with the walls. I wanted a blue, but my husband is all about this green. So we went for it. It is bright, but fun. You can get a closer look at the pillows on this post: http://valscreations.blogspot.com/2012/03/master-bedroom-pillows.html

Christmas Gifts {Doorway Puppet Theatre, Felt Bags, Tutu}

My kids made these bags for their cousins. It is very simple--Joann fabrics has the stuff you need!

I made this tutu for my niece. She loved it!

I made this puppet doorway theatre. 

Christmas PJs

Where we live, winter is cold. Because of that, I wanted to make pjs with long sleeves for the girls.
