Monster names!

As I prepare for my lil man's first birthday.. You already know the theme (c'mon take a guess :-) I created his name into cute little monsters! It will be a banner for his party! Check out my etsy site for more party printables! Www.etsy.com/shop/thefairysweetshoppe

Finally!

After many months of waiting and bank nonsense we are FINALLY in our first home!! We moved in May and every weekend has been another DIY project or thrift store finds! It is soo much fun and my little monster is so happy in his own room! Can't wait till we finish up his monster nursery! Be sure to keep checking back for some fun DIY projects! :) here's our quaint lil home!

Little Man's first Easter!

For Easter I wanted my little guy to be different, but so stylish! Lol! There are tons and tons of girl dresses and never much for boy! So I went to children's place and found a button down in pink gingham shirt, a navy vneck sweater. I wasn't happy with their pant selection so I came across these adorable seersucker shorts in H&M. Of course had to get little converse in a bright aqua to match! Best of all to complete his look I found this little scrap of fabric I had in plaid with blues and hints of purples. I found a way to make a bow tie without sewing, just an iron and hot glue gun! The perfect accessory to his little man look! :) and of course Nonni made him a bunny hat too!!

Monster Mobile!

When my little man was just a little thing in my belly.. I knew his theme would be monsters! I could not find monster bedding or a mobile or any kind of decor anywhere! ( of course now I saw one at target.com but I like the colors I chose anyway!) Anyways, I chose this geo bright bedding set and my BFF got it for my monster for my baby shower!
I already had gotten a mobile from someone else which didn't really match! So I traced the pattern of the other mobile cover, used an extra matching crib sheet to the bedding set and made some cute lil monsters out of felt! What you need to make a quick and easy matching mobile!
-extra matching crib sheet
-some felt
-old mobile
-sewing machine
-scissors
-ribbon

Now I have a cute matching set and one happy lil monster!!

Easter monster eggs ohh my!!!

It's official I'm monster crazy!! I can not even tell u how excited I get when I see monster stuff! Found this cute monster egg decorating kit for Easter at Walmart!! For $1.97 why not! Now .. Hmmm do I save then for when my lil monster gets bigger or do them this year..

My love monster!

Ok so any excuse I get to dress my lil monster up & take pics.. I do it.. Yup I'm that kind of mama.. :)
For Valentine's day I created a tie and matching diaper cover for my little love monster. You can actually buy my pattern piece fabric at spoonflower.com! I cut out the diaper cover and just added elastic around the leg openings and the waist. The tie just cut two pieces and sew together, then flip inside out and iron those tie creases and just hand stitch the inside so it stays in place.
Here he is my lil love monster!

Super Bowl champs! NY Giants!

Go Giants! Even babies have to root for their team too! I can not tell you how hard it was to find a baby jersey/ bodysuit the few weeks before the Super Bowl soo being the crafty mama I am.. I made a faux jersey for my lil man!
I used the iron on interfacing with the sticky back. Stuck the fabric on the sticky side then cut out the ny ( giants logo) stripes for the arms, and of course the back had to have a number and his name! All on just a plain white bodysuit iron on, then I recommend sewing a quick straight stitch around appliqués. Fabric I used was actually the extra I cut from a man's giants tee to make mine a little more girlie! :)

Mama can match their little boys too!

Soo I had this gray & black striped dress from H&M! I can not even tell you how many times I wore this dress.. Even when I was preggo.. Anyways I was tired of it so I decided to try something for my lil man too! I cut the dress, so it would be a shirt for me, then used the bottom hem to make pants for my baby.Find the tutorial here! 
  I used the extra I had to make a tie and just sewed it on a bodysuit! Hey if little girls can match their mommies, why can't boys right! Lol
