My Homemade Version of Little Girl Tutus.

What a beautiful little fairy princess! She is dressed for her cousin's 3rd birthday party.
Since both my daughters' have little daughters of their own, I got to make these very easy no-sew tutus. Here are some pictures of the tutus. They didn't take very long at all to make. The easy part was that the spools already came in 6-inch wide x 25 feet or 100 feet long.  The hard part was deciding which colors to buy.

I cut them in 23-inch lengths.

Here is a tutorial over at "The Imagination Tree," on how to make them. I used ribbon for the waist instead of elastic.

For one, I measured the little one's waist, which was 18 inches. I then added 30 more inches to be able to make the tie.

Somehow, they both came out great--if I do say so myself.
This is the one that the tiny fairy princess is wearing in the pic a.



This is the second one I made for the tiny fairy princess above for her own birthday party.




I tried to match the tulle as close as I could to the invitation

Cinco de Mayo 2013


My husband "TonyB" loves to cook. In fact, he is the cook in this family. Here is a sampling of what he made tonight. Tacos that were made with grilled rib eye-steak! I not only ate it, I inhaled it!
