my little pink fairy

it's been a while since the last time i did pink saturday. been helper-free since middle of april. after 11 years, finally it's just "us" - our family. all five of us. yes, i asked for it. even if that would mean sacrificing lots of "me" time. blogging and sewing especially. i wanted to live simply and teach the kids to be responsible, learn to do household chores, and be independent.

anyway, on to this week's event. my entry is a thumbelina - yes that's what she said she is - costume that i made for my little one for her schools halloween party.

i managed to whip this up, 3 hours before the 8:00 am party. my plan was to let her wear one of her floral dresses + wings. but... creativity and sewing mojo came in early in the morning and so this came about...

she was very happy and been thanking me endlessly on our way to the party. the smile on her face... priceless!

she merrily joined the games like... pinning the nose on pinocchio...

 finding "under the sea" treasures...

and shooting apples inside the pumpkin...

 

thumbelina was very happy and filled her bucket with lots of treats from other parents. unfortunately she got sick after the party and mom did not allow her to enjoy the candies she got :(.

now, she wants a "purple dress with belt" for her. just like june's dress in little einstein.

Happy Pink Saturday!

it's nice to be back.

pink saturday :: birthday party

waiting... while holding her pink gift bag for the birthday girl

tinkerbell birthday cake with pink flowers and butterflies

curious...

pink glitters and more...

behave...

and... voila!
pink flower glitter tattoo for the little lady...

hers (pink flower)
mine (pink lady bug :D)she was okay, giddy and happy...
until...the clown in pink came in.

first time to see a clown.
she was scared and won't leave my lap.
she only warmed up when the clown gave her this balloon flower...

and because she's not scared anymore,
she had another glitter tattoo -
it's mickey mouse this time.

and even posed for mommy...

and had another one on her leg - it's tinkerbell!
how cute is that?

the loot bag with pink flowers...

with pink bag inside...

she went home happy...

and won't let mommy "erase" her body art - until now!

red dress

the shirt --
a gift that kuya received from his favorite tito.
along with 2 other shirts with fantastic four prints.
barely used.















every time i tidy up kuya's closet i'd stare at this shirt.
been toying with the idea of making it into a dress for ate.
but i'm having second thoughts coz the print is not girly.

anyhoo, i still went on...





















as always, my model is always happy for "mama made". :D
i think this is my first time to make a dress for her with sleeves.
glad it turned out fine even if the neckline became a suuuper scoop neck for her.
:D ttfn!

pink saturday :: birthday!

It's Fiesta!

Really glad I stumbled upon this site. I was looking for a "pink" version of the Blue Monday and this site popped out. There were quite less than a hundred participants then. But look now, we've grown! I can't believe it has been a year of Pink Saturday fun already! Happy Birthday to PS and thank you and congratulations to Ms Bev for hosting this fun saturday meme.

Before we start the celebration, let's have some breakfast first...

{grilled cheese, a cup of hot coffee and pink fabric for my daughter's bumper guards}

And let's put on some make up...

... get the compact powder

... open it... then put some on the face

... a little moreand... smile!

then... enjoy!

... and gobble!Are you done? How was the make up? Tasty? :D

{I was working on something, the little girl was watching barney with her snack on the side. when i looked at her... OMG!!! What have you done? Did i clean her, wipe her, get mad at her right away? NO! I.GRABBED.MY.CAMERA.AND TOOK PICTURES! :D Again, who could resist this pink fun!? It was a pink strawberry filling after all. And she was wearing a top with pink flowers too! Please, do tell me I'm not a bad mama.}

Okay then, if you're done with the make-up, it's time to blow our birthday candle...

{ a pink candle that my birthday daughter blew the moment she woke up}

And eat some ice cream...

{my current favorite - pink berry strawberry}

After doing the rounds, celebrating the Pink Saturday Birthday, it's now time to relax. Let's soak our tired hands feet in these pink rose petals with warm pebbles underneath...

{a relaxing day with my friend.
we pampered ourselves on her birthday.
spent 2 hours inside Footlose Foot Spa. }

So there... I hope you had fun.
Happy Pink Saturday Birthday!
Please visit How Sweet the Sound and celebrate with us.

XOXO

rainbow

"mommy! look, rainbow! nice."

and she stood there for quite a while.
mesmerized by the marvelous colors of the "rainbow" - on the floor.

what's that?!

one night, dad brought this home from the village meeting.

come morning, he showed it to the littlelady.
she was scared.
and would not touch it.
nor eat it!
