This girls wanted Alice and Wonderland and Luke wanted to be the big bad wolf so we also did<br />
The Little Red Riding Hood<br />

How many of you have traditions?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have one tradition that we started a few years ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am hoping that it continues for many years to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might be weird or quirky to you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it seems to make my children come out of their creative shells</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and transform into these theatrical characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the beginning, we just took one photo of the kids in costumes but now that the kids are getting older, they are getting more creative with their halloween shoots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have already started planning this years shoot and I am hoping it turns out so great and magnificent. Stay Tuned for more.......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go to my facebook page to see some sneak peeks close to Halloween</div>

I know so many of you have not seen anything from Abby's TuTu Factory in quite a long time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I have huge plans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I started Abby's TuTu Factory, Abby was only 3 years old and it was just,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby, Luke, and I.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the group has expanded to Abby 13, Luke 14, Ella 6, Lily 3, and I {not telling my age lol}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things have been super busy for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After my divorce I started a new business venture with Ella Rose Portrait Arts as a newborn photographer and it is growing so much. I couldn't be happier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a single mom of 4 kiddos, I am always on a strict budget and everyday I see the most beautiful newborn props that I so wish to buy. Well I don't have deep enough pockets and my business just isnt there just yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So whenever I spot a thrift store, goodwill, garage sale or auction, I must go in for some seriously cheap treasure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well one day, I was with a friend, and we stopped into this thrift store to browse around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this ugly old wooden magazine holder and saw the perfect newborn prop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Took it home and did my magic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Viola! My newborn bed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out my facebook to see upcoming photos with a baby in the prop</div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Every girls dream is to be a mermaid.</div>
<div align="center">
So lets leave reality and be mermaids for just a little bit.</div>
<div align="center">
I am making this costume for my sweet Ella.</div>
<div align="center">
This is, I think, the third time she is being a mermaid for Halloween.</div>
<div align="center">
But I cant blame her, I was a cheerleader almost every year when I was little.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
So here it is</div>
<div align="center">
A super easy DIY mermaid tail</div>
<div align="center">
Level Beginner</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I can say this is a beginner because I am a tutu maker and not much of a sewer at ALL.</div>
<div align="center">
I didn't even use a pattern.</div>
<div align="center">
Just took the monofin and went from there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Start by</div>
<div align="center">
Gathering Your Supplies</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Monofin from Target</div>
<div align="center">
Swimsuit Fabric from Joannes</div>
<div align="center">
Thread</div>
<div align="center">
Scissors</div>
<div align="center">
Measuring Tape</div>
<div align="center">
Sewing Machine</div>
<div align="center">
Cardboard</div>
<div align="center">
pins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OLqfI0XwVh4/V__8h6XGvCI/AAAAAAAAGDY/-dxmIrsza1w7I1yADODFelXhoP-daG8oACLcB/s1600/2016-10-13_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OLqfI0XwVh4/V__8h6XGvCI/AAAAAAAAGDY/-dxmIrsza1w7I1yADODFelXhoP-daG8oACLcB/s640/2016-10-13_0001.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Measure your child from belly button to the end of the fin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I laid Ella down then measured</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and stood her up and measured again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next Trace the fin onto the cardboard and set aside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SGW_QejeP3M/V__8hNmblzI/AAAAAAAAGDU/36IedT5tGfQ4jkEcbnhTRhcZX8O0JXLAACLcB/s1600/2016-10-13_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="438" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SGW_QejeP3M/V__8hNmblzI/AAAAAAAAGDU/36IedT5tGfQ4jkEcbnhTRhcZX8O0JXLAACLcB/s640/2016-10-13_0002.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
I took two different fabrics, one for the legs and one for the fin.</div>
<div align="center">
Cut two pieces of fabric the length of her legs</div>
<div align="center">
Turn the fabric where both shiny pieces are facing each other</div>
<div align="center">
Pin down the side</div>
<div align="center">
Sew down that one side only</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f1qCbEA7Uco/V__8uNah1nI/AAAAAAAAGDc/GiD5CQ4Sr4UF4TYjfXSRcGXvMrwUcM9OQCLcB/s1600/2016-10-13_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f1qCbEA7Uco/V__8uNah1nI/AAAAAAAAGDc/GiD5CQ4Sr4UF4TYjfXSRcGXvMrwUcM9OQCLcB/s640/2016-10-13_0003.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now place the fabric on your child</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pin down the other side</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pull tight when pinning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is ok if it is a little small</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the material is stretchy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew down the other side</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place back on your child to see if it fits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then trim the excess material off</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Tij8GFWY9Q/V__-uZnTxsI/AAAAAAAAGDs/abJ1-FRzeu4WcMwSO58_U98yiOIEvLbYgCLcB/s1600/2016-10-13_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="566" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Tij8GFWY9Q/V__-uZnTxsI/AAAAAAAAGDs/abJ1-FRzeu4WcMwSO58_U98yiOIEvLbYgCLcB/s640/2016-10-13_0004.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trim excess material off</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have your child sit down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See if the tail is too long</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it is too long, then pin at the ankles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and trim about an inch below the pin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--8F_Yq1n9uc/V___Kq8GOZI/AAAAAAAAGDw/SAg6iVbxZ6wAv42GAzQwJGpcrklCiy1PACLcB/s1600/2016-10-13_0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--8F_Yq1n9uc/V___Kq8GOZI/AAAAAAAAGDw/SAg6iVbxZ6wAv42GAzQwJGpcrklCiy1PACLcB/s640/2016-10-13_0005.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now cut your fin out of the cardboard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trace onto the wrong side of the material</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pin the fin together on the inside of the marks you made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut out fin 1/4 inch outside of the traced line</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have two pieces of material pinned together with wrong side out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew down each side of the fin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DO NOT sew the bottom of the fin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will only sew about 2 inches of the bottom to create a pocket for the fin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Slide fin into the material to make sure it fits</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turn fin material inside out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep mermaid tail with shiny side out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Slide mermaid tail into fin</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To put tail on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have your child place her feet through the tail first</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flip up the fin material</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put the monofin on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now slide the material over the fin and put the tips into the pockets</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the top, I took the scraps and just sewed a tube top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then added some ruffles from the leftover rainbow material</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Get all 4 looks for under $65!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a newborn photographer, I love those vinyl wood roll up floors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but at $80 + per floor I couldnt narrow down my selection to just one look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One day as I was visiting my local lumber store,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was comparing prices on different lengths of wood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I came across 10ft 6x1s</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The price per piece was very reasonable</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for my prop floors for the newborn shoots</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need floors that are 5'x5'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That means I needed (8) 10' 6x1s</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I cut each board in half</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That left me with (16) 5' 6x1s</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I have two sets of prop floors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could paint each side a different color</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which left me with 4 different looks for under $65</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a diaper to apply the wax LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It truly was the only thing I had that I could throw away after</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was finished using it</div>

On the back of the green boards I did a grey wash</div>

It was such a short summer spent trying to finish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my new studio.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of sweating, blisters on my hands, and backaches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I finally finished</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now ready to start booking those babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am starting to feel a sense of accomplishment. My first huge project as a single mom has come together almost as I had planned </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{and the only reason I say "almost" is because my budget ran out way before I finished the floors}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My original plan was to have lots of cabinets to hide away all the clutter. I really hate clutter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But since there were no more funds, I had to get creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an old cherry desk and an old hutch top from my grandmother's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I painted both white to look like they went together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the props and blankets, I built shelves out of lumber.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I constructed three doors together, placed them on casters to hide all the clutter on the shelves. I can roll the doors aside to get what I need on the shelves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That then gave me some wall space to put a little sofa up against.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coffee bar is an old reception podium from a restaurant I picked up at an auction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, is the kids art station. Since I will be spending many hours working, the kids can be right near me creating their own work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now all that I have left to do is to go through the hundreds of sessions and pick out photos to display in the studio. This might be the hardest job of all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It all started when I came across a magazine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with an amazing living room I just had to have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That then lead me to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thehandmadehome.net</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where I fell in love with everything this family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
did in their home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their blog is AMAZING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What caught my eye the most was her display of instagram photos above the couch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like she says in her blog about all those instagram photos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #947c6f; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Verdana, Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">" I was wondering where all those great photos go, once it’s all said and done. Some of our family’s greatest moments have been captured on that little iphone, when my gigantic Canon wasn’t handy. And I wanted a great way to display our family’s photos in our home, without using a billion different frames."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #947c6f; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Verdana, Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I had the same exact dilemma and was so very happy she solved that for me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is her DIY for all those photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
http://www.thehandmadehome.net/2011/09/how-to-make-a-gigantic-polaroid-frame/</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the other hand, my frame isn't so much a DIY for all of those who either don't DIY or didn't have the time because she just had baby #4 ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a huge DIYer but was deliriously exhausted from the many sleepless nights</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and wanted quick results with little to no effort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is when I came across</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prinstagram</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
http://printstagr.am/poster</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I had it framed at Hobby Lobby during their 50%off custom framing sale</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids and I absolutely love our collage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We find ourselves looking at it all the time reminiscing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about the past year in the photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cant wait to do another collage just like it. I think I am going to try the DIY from thehandmadehome.net next time.</div>

It is Christmas Time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and every year I attempt to do the Christmas Light bokeh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
background for my littles ones photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I am shopping through the Christmas isle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I find this beautiful silver glitter wrapping paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved it so much, and thought to myself that is would create a much more dramatic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bokeh than the christmas lights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Supplies needed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 rolls of silver glitter wrapping paper {each roll 2 yards}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heavy duty spray adhesive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8ft x 4ft sheet of plywood {cut it in half to create 2- 4ftx4ft }</div>

There was a beautiful tree in our backyard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that had turned the lovely shade of red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I had to get some sort of session out of this color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
before it went away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I stuck my daughter, Abby, on top of a ladder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as I stood on top of a stool</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to get these beautiful photos with our</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
newest prop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot wait to get these printed to hang on my wall</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A small story behind our wardrobe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mother wanted photos of the children in red long johns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She thought it was going to be so cute for Christmas cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well we took it one step further and surprised her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Ugly Christmas Sweaters and put the hubbies in long johns too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was so thrilled to have a photo of all of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who wants a normal Christmas card anyways LOL ???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

How I came across this brown wood and plastic cake stand???????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I would not have picked this out for myself but ended up with it somehow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you know me, I cant just throw something away, so I made the best of it.</div>

The moment I decided to paint my dining room table with chalk board paint was the very moment I looked up at the TV and saw the Target Christmas commercial. They had a family sitting around a dining table painted with chalkboard paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids and I were sitting for dinner one night watching Wheel of Fortune (my hubby works the night shift), I look down at my table and gaze over all the scribbles my littlest had made. I start to brainstorm and think to myself what if we could all sit here and scribble on the table while we eat dinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it hit me that I had a can of chalkboard paint. As I am doodling my idea, that is when the Target commercial came on with my idea. I knew it was a sign and just had to do it!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hubby had been bugging me about cleaning out our shed and getting rid of stuff for quite sometime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He just doesnt understand my method of creativity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All that "stuff" is my most prized possessions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I found in other people's garages.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well to make him happy, I got to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All this great stuff can make something spectacular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about an Artful Kitchen for some precious Little Girl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to create a beautiful tea party</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or store all her art supplies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fell in LOVE with this piece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it found a wonderful home when I was finished</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
instead of the musty old garage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have been asked a couple of times how I learned to take photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my go to answer is always Pinterest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it wasnt for Pinterest I would probably not be where I am today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as far as blogging, photography and crafting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That place is so inspiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is like going to college and taking classes with out all the tuition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By no means do I call myself a professional anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always have such a hard time comparing myself to others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which is something I am working on a great deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just see so many brilliant people on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pinterest and think to myself, "How did they get to that level?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight I thought I would share with you some of the places</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I thought were the most insightful for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the time, I study a photo and just try to figure out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what it is that makes me love it so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is it the light? The pose? The location? The props? How they edited the photo?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I just try to practice it as much as I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I fail about 80% of the time but I just keep going until something clicks together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so here we go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite photography reads</div>

It is that most wonderful time of the year again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And time to take those beautiful Christmas photos for your Christmas cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing is more whimsical and elegant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
than a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Tier TuTu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I will show step by step</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how to get the most fluffy and full</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Tier TuTu EVER!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a more non-traditional color sceme</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just because I fell in love with this beautiful fabric so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can chose 3 different colors or just 1 solid color for your 3 tiers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this tutu, I chose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rose Mauve for the bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Light Pink for the middle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
&</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cream for the top </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am making this tutu this tutu for my 9 year old</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So make sure you measure the waist and length properly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my longest length tutu, rose mauve color, I cut 60 inch strips. That makes a 30 inch tutu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the middle length tutu, light pink color, I cut 42 inch strips. That makes a 21 inch tutu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the shortest length tutu, cream color, I cut 24 inch strips. That makes 12 inch tutu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How many strips to cut?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
60 inch strips = cut 120 strips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
42 inch strips = cut 60 strips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
24 inch strips = cut 60 strips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Total strips = 240</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**This is an approximate amount based on size of a 9 year old girl**</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For girls or toddlers smaller, you might cut shorter and fewer strips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 Always steam fluff your tutu before photos to soften the tulle and make extra fluffy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Even though 2013 isnt over, this year has come and gone in a heart beat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My three kiddos have grown so much this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It still amazes me that I was so very blessed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we wind down the year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to reflect on my favorite</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
black and white moments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next year we will be adding one more to the mix of craziness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lily Lee will arrive March 2014</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be prepared for so much more cuteness coming ahead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would like to thank all my followers and fans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a safe and wonderful holiday!</div>

If you did not know already</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided to homeschool my son, Luke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our first year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is crazy wonderful and the best decision I have made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that goes without saying "It aint easy"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month I have wanted to incorporate art and Halloween into our curriculum because this is our favorite month of all time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cam across this work of art on Pinterest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it was so unique and fit us to a tee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We called our piece "The Spooky Tree"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To Make the top for this costume,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
start off by measuring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around the widest part of the model.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then measure the length</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Arm pit to Waist/hip area {torso} </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fabric on bolt is folded in half</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roll out bolt of fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Step 3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn fabric with stripes going up and down</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfold fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Measure the widest part around of torso on model</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take that length and measure fabric</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{see where scissors are placed}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add 1 to 2 inches for hemming</div>

Step 6</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sewing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to pick the zig zag for this costume but you can do a straight stitch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sew the top </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then sew the bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do Not sew the sides yet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Stitch looks like so when finished</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 7</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making the back of the corset</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take your ribbon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cut into 3 inch pieces {6 pieces for each side}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fold ribbon in half and pin to corset</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lighter is to melt the ends of the ribbon so the ribbon does not fray</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 8</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
