DR. Seuss baby shower

We got invited to a Dr. Seuss themed baby shower a few weeks ago. Z loves Dr. Seuss books. I read them to her all the time. I had some leftover felt, and decided to make Z a thing 1 shirt! Remind you i decided to make this 4 hours before the party. I used an old red shirt that she wore for Valentines day and it still fits (minus the arm length) I picked this one because it had a red tutu attached to it. 

I was at my moms house so she helped. We first got a kitchen plate to trace a circle on white  felt. 

 Next we cut it. While she was cutting it I printed out a thing 1 picture searching the web. We used this to trace the letters onto black felt. 

We traced the letters onto white paper then glued the paper to black felt for easy cutting. My mom drew a black circle around the felt using craft paint so it can match the exact image. 

Remind you this is the day of the baby Shower with only 2 hours until the shower. I did not have Heat N Bond ( my life saver) since my mom does not believe in it. So I glue gunned each letter and number to the felt and left the sewing to the pro! My mom finished sewing the circle with a needle and red thread. And there we had it a adorable Thing 1 shirt.  

 I printed out a Thing 2 image as well so I decided to make a quick diaper cake out of Diapers that were too small for my Z and a pot. 

I then added red ribbon and taped the "Thing 2" sign on top. 

And now.... We were ready for the party!  

The baby shower was so much fun! Here are some photos I took. 

They even had real live fish as centerpieces! 

 

Z had so much Fun!!!!!! It also happened to be her first ever Baby Shower. 

"EAT MOR POLLO"

Happy Cow Appreciation Day! A few weeks ago was Zara's first cow day experience at Chick-Fil-A and it was great! I had no idea it was in June until  Hubby, Z, and I were driving I noticed a small child dressed like a cow. First thing that came to my mind was Chick-Fil-A! I was so upset as I wanted to make Z the cutest cow costume! I had no choice but to look in my craft box and so happy I was able to make it work. 

I used scraps of black felt from the Miami Heat Onesie I had made for her. I'm so glad I saved them. 

I used a white onesie, iron, Heat and Bond , scissors, and my glue gun for the onesie. 

I made some spots on the heat and bond  Paper. Then I stuck it to the black felt by using an iron to press it down. Some did not stick as good as I would of liked so I went back with my glue gun and made sure they stuck. Once I finished the onesie I made a sign by painting the words " eat mor pollo". Instead of the traditional " eat mor Chikin" I thought I would make it unique and different. And everyone knows what Pollo means! Ok, maybe not everyone.... It means chiken in Spanish. 

I then decided to use bunny ears as the cow ears. All I did was moved them down froma pair Z already had. I put a Tutu on Z, painted her nose with black eyeshadow, and Tada!! 

Then of course I had to put on pink glitter shoes that would match! It came out better than I thought and the best part about it was that I did not spend a dime! 

Z got so many compliments and was even tweeted back by the Chik Fil A corp!! I can't wait till next year. It's a new family tradition! I will make hubby and myself dress up too. Hey, you do get free  food. Zara had a blast. Chik Fil A is the only fast food she has ever had. 

Go Miami Heat!!

As most of you know the Heat are playing for the championship game tonight!!! Zara and I are so exited I had to make her a Heat onesie. 

I am not much of a sewing person. So I use Heat and Bond and my glue gun for mostly everything! It's so simple. For Zara's first Halloween I made her a sushi costume using  Heat n Bond. 

You will need any onesie. Felt, scissors, heat and bond, glue gun (optional), wax or parchment paper and a iron. 

First you cut the heat n bond in the shape of your felt. Make sure it is cut smaller than the actual felt size. 

Next you are going to iron the heat n bond to your felt. Make sure the rough part of the heat n bond is facing the back of your felt or material. 

 

Next you trace or freehand whatever you are going to put on your shirt. In this case I am writing GO HEAT! Then you can cut out the letters. 

 

If it is letters make sure to draw them backwards so that when you cut and attach it they can face the correct way. 

Last you take of the heat n bond and attach to your onesie. After you attach it get wax paper and put it over the letters. Then iron one more time. And tada! You have an adorable team onesie! 

Lets go HEAT!!!!!

       

First Fathers Day

This Father's Day is extra special because its Z's first Father's Day for her Daddy and Abuelo! I made Zara a cape out of an old T-Shirt so that she can be a superhero just like Daddy! 

All you need is an old big T-Shirt any color, scissors, felt, glue gun, felt glue (optional), marker or pen, and stencils (optional). Velcro

First, you cut of the sleeves. 

Next, you cut down the sides so that you can open it up like this. 

Next you cut around the neck so that your T-shirt looks like this. Make sure to leave some if the shoulder area. 

Next you cut the sides of your cape until you have the cut you desire and cut length if needed. 

Next you cut the neck area and measure your child's neck . You can then glue Velcro to it. 

Next you cut any shape using a piece a felt I chose a heart. You can also do triangle, square, etc.. 

Next you cut your child's initial with another piece of color felt. I used a stencil   But you can freehand it. 

I made it in pink but then changed my mind as usual... 

Last you can add any other embellishments. I added a bow because Z always wears her bows. I also made her a matching headband . 

And there you go! We made it for our Fathers Day theme "Super Heroes". 

We made daddy a big card with Zara's hand prints. 

Then took daddy and Abuelo for a SUPER lunch date! 

We decided to make Abuelo a candy card.
