Let's Make Leggings

 I wanted to share with you a tutorial on how to make leggings for your little one. Or, this makes a great gift!

 Take a pair of knee high socks...Most discount stores have them. Target and Wal Mart always have a great holiday selection.

 Now cut the feet part off. Right at the ankle.

I know there are different ways to finish off the bottom of the leggings. I take some embroidery thread and do a running stitch to tuck the unfinished edge.

I always keep an eye out for these socks after a holiday, you can sometimes find them for fifty cents or a dollar. 

Thanks for joining me in this tutorial!

Build Your Own Cupcake Bar

This was a test run of a cupcake bar... Wasn't quite sure how it would go over, (or how messy it would be), but it was quite the hit. I had my 9 year old niece helping the little ones decorate the cupcakes. She was my cupcake manager :)

You could easily use regular cans of frosting, I did make mine- I will dig out my recipe for you all. It is tried and true, and I use it for all cakes and cupcakes. I had some large craft sticks to help apply the frosting to their cupcakes.

I just love the test tube sprinkles.

Oh yeah, and balloons make it better!
