How About A Tulle Wreath?

Tulle is haunting me now...

I must say that I'm loving this wreath from Flamingo Toes...

Same concept as making tutus except you do it on styrofoam...

She added some boa to give it bling...

and I love her sign & black raven...

Little Witches

This picture is killing me!

It is absolutely the sweetest thing ever!

I really wanted Goosie Girl's party to look like this...

but she told me that was too babyish...

Remember I mentioned the black tutus I was going to make?

Well...

I started on Goosie Girl's during the Gator game over the weekend...

I had 5 yards of tulle...

I thought that would be enough for several tutus...

haha...

I spent hours cutting all the strips...

then tying them to the elastic...

Then I had to stop...

I needed a break (a break that never stopped)...

I think I have about 1 yard left and I'm only half way around the elastic of the first tutu...

I must say it looks great so far...

I will finish Goosie Girl's but I don't think I can make 11 more...

Is that bad?

I really had images of them looking like this...

But in a tween sort of way...

I've always loved tutus but I have sincere appreciation for them now...

Any ideas of something easier?

Halloween Invite

I just put the finishing touches

on the invitation for our school Halloween party

(adults only...no children!)

I'm styling the dessert table

while everyone else will bring appetizers...

I kept the invitation simple but used bold colors...

What do you think?
