A SuperHero Birthday Party!

I can not believe my Alex turned 4! How come when you're little and going through school, time seems to go by so slowly and it's like it takes you forever to grow up but now that I'm older and have my own kids it's like time is just shooting by!! It's not fair! lol! :) He's changing to much and I'm so proud of him!!

So his birthday was actually February 5th (superbowl day) so we celebrated it Feb. 4th and when I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday he said "SUPERMAN!!" lol!

So I first knew I wanted to make him this cape! He loves it! Actually we had a dr. appt the next monday and he wore it to the appt as well! :)

Also we knew we were gonna have lots of little guests so made some felt mask! (Super easy by the way)

And you can't have a birthday party with out a pin the tail game!!

So we did pin the cape on the superhero!!

Thanks to my mom for drawing it!!

And you can't forget the Superhero cupcakes and cake!

Then throw in all the games and we had a great party!!

PR&P Week 3 Challenge: "Pick a decade" -- 70's it is!

I've been so excited for this weeks challenge of Project Run and Play!

It's pick a decade!! I love Flower Power so I had to do a hippie outfit!!

So I made from scratch my first pair of jeans!! whoo hoo!

 I used a tutorial from me sew crazy! for the pants.. I altered the tutorial a little to give the pants a higher waist and bell bottoms!

then I used the Bali Break Tunic at Sewing in No man's land, for the top!! I was given this vintage fabric from a friend of mine and I've been dying to make something from it!!

I Love Making a Tutu!!!

Made my cousin's little girl Riley a tutu for her ballet class!!

Love the colors (she picked them)!

and added a headband to match!

Oh and the flower clip on the tutu is removable and interchangable.. just used a hair clip and then clipped it in a knot!!
