Making It With Allie - Royal Fun

Welcome to another Making It With Allie!

I am glad to have you!

I am sure that all of you have seen all of the hype about the upcoming nuptials of

Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton

Can you believe that Lady Diana's son is getting married almost exactly

30 years from the day of his parents wedding? 

Do you all remember watching that wedding early in the morning?

Well, we are excited to watch on Friday!

AuBrynne is super excited to see the NEW Princess!

Last night she wanted to make a Princess Crown to wear for the wedding.

I can't pass up an opportunity to get the Silhouette out,

so I very quickly made a crown and cut it out!

AuBrynne thought for only a moment about what color it needed to be...

Then we cut the pieces out with the Silhouette and glued it all together

Then she added the jewels for a final touch!



Then, I was playing around a little bit....
I had some extra fabric from AuBrynne's Easter dress and some woolly nylon and floral wire,
 that could go into my serger.
Please don't try this if you are not SUPER adept with your serger,
and if you do please wear safety glasses as a precaution!

Anyways, the effect was pretty cool!
It was bendable but also held it's shape!
Have you figured out yet what I was able to make??
A Fascinator! In the big British Fancy Style!
For my own little Princess!

And of course her favorite Royalty shirt I threw together for her a while back...
So, we are on pins and needles to see the wedding!

I like to link my projects up on all the places there!

Please Feel Free To Add It! :)

Some of you may know that it has been REALLY hard for me to get around to visit every ones links each week
and then chose some highlights.
In order to leave everyone a nice comment, it ends up taking A TON of time!
I will be moving the Features day, but have not decided on a day yet.
You see, it takes WAY more time than I had EVER anticipated and
is leaving VERY little time to be able to do any crafts to share with you all!
So, I am going to ask you all, Should I:
1: Not have Features
2: Have only one feature based on votes
3: Feature only those who leave comments...
4: Something else that you all suggest

Now it's your turn!
It's time for the
Making It With Allie Party!

What have you got this week?

I am anxious to see!

You all are SO inspiring, I can't wait!

Easter Hunting

Hello Friends!

Yesterday was a beautiful Easter here!

We had a fun egg hunt and ate wonderful food and had naps.

I could not have asked for a better day!

Here are the pictures of the Easter hunt with AuBrynne in her finished dress

with the finished Glitter Eggs!

I had the dress finished and AuBrynne insisted it needed "sparklys", So out came the Hotfix!

When I was looking for little trinkets for the basket, I happened upon his PERFECT ring!
AuBrynne was tickled to have a Princess jewel!

Easter candies were put into these little cuties and also found in the hunt!

 And to answer the questions I know you all  will ask ☺

The dress was made from lavender polyester with a printed lavender nylon overlay, found at Joanns.

The hem was done with woolly nylon and the serger.

It has an invisible zippered closure, which made for a fun hemming job!

The rhinestone buckle came from the bridal area of Michael's.

Making It With Allie - Easter Preparations

Welcome to another edition of

Making It With Allie

The last couple of days have been getting ready for Easter. 

It kind of crept up on me this year.

I have been blowing out eggs so that I can get the

Martha Stewart Superfine Glitter out.

That is my favorite way to do eggs.

I just don't like having to blow the eggs out -gives me kind of a headache...

But they sure are pretty!

Only 2 dozen more...

Then, it dawned on me yesterday that I should probably start AuBrynne's Easter dress...

 It goes pretty darn fast, but it's always good to get things done earlier than later, right?

All I have left is to tack in the lining.

I wish there was an alternative to hand sewing...

So, here is a sneak peek at the dress!

So, I still have to get a Easter hair bit or hat together, but that is in progress still...

Anyways, I can't wait to show you all the finished photos!

Soon...

 

Now it's your turn!
It's time for the
Making It With Allie Party!

Making It With Allie - Geeking Out

YAY! It's Thursday again! Welcome to another

Making It With Allie Link Up!

I am glad to start the party off with my latest project!

I am having SO much fun using my Silhouette!

This week I made some little onesies for the newest little member of our family, Baby Charlie.

I have to admit, most of us, in our family are kinda geeky.

Most of them, are terribly smart. 

My cousin Paul is probably the leader in being the smartest!

Me, not so much! I'm more of a theatre geek.

Anyways, Paul, and all of us, grew up playing lots of video games that turned into what people play on the Wii and X-box these days... Just a little tidbit: I have NEVER played the Wii

To this day, Paul still likes Super Mario Brothers.

So, I thought some cute little onesies were in order.

I finished a few, but have some more ideas and when I finish them, I will absolutely share them!

Pacman

Super Mario Brother's Mushrooms

Super Mario Brother's



Tetris

Space Invaders - This might be my favorite one...





So, guess what??

EVERY single one of these images, I created with the Silhouette software!!

I can not begin to tell you how awesome it is!

I know there are several of you out there who have told me that you are having troubles with the software...

So I am going to ask:

Are there any of you out there that would like tutorials for different things with the Silhouette?

If so, what types of things would you want to know?

Leave me quick message and I will try to get some things put together!
