Introducing Sissy Boo Boutique

I have a guest poster today.  It's my amazingly talented niece Kylie.

Hey! First, I just want to thank Kim and Brenda for letting me take up a little space on the blog. I've recently found that I have a passion for sewing and crafting, especially little itty bitty cute things. So, to help me stay busy, I started Sissy Boo Boutique! So here are a few of the things that you could find at my store:

If you want to check out more, just head over to my blog. Or, head straight to my etsy store here. Thanks for letting me take a minute to show you my new passion and hopefully you love it as much as I do!

Sewing for Baby

Well, I finally did some sewing. It has been a while sense I did:)
I have a friend who had a baby in July. She had a little girl and she is absolutely adorable. I finally got around to making a gift for her:)  A little skirt and onesie!

Cute little onesie with ruffle bum.

I used t-shirt vinyl for the applique on the front.

Little Boy Onesis, & Head Bands

I helped with a baby shower this weekend.  It was an open house so when ladies came they created a  onesies for the baby boy.  The expecting mother loved it because she had something from everyone that was made with love.  Brenda gave me this idea when I read one of her earlier posts found HERE.

 

 
To make these onesies we used HeatNBond Strongest no-sew iron on adhesive. This worked like glue.  We ironed a square, a little bigger then our pattern, directly onto the fabric.  Then we drew on the paper our cute patterns, cut the pattern out, peeled off the paper, and ironed it onto the onesies.  SUPER EASY!!  For inspiration or patterns to buy go to THIS etsy shop.

 Here's where I cut a giraffe out.

I found THIS blog with tons of hair bow ideas, which lead me to THIS blog. We now are making crocheted headbands like crazy. 

T-shirt Vinyl

I have been playing around with t-shirt vinyl again and I have to say I am addicted. I made a few onesies for a friend who is having her 3rd boy. Yep, it's true, she only makes boys;)

P.S. more projects are coming, I just need to get my pictures onto my computer. Hubby bought a USB cord yesterday:)

Adorable onesies

I printed my design onto "Print N Press". I followed the directions on the pac. It turned out sooooooo cute! Because I am feeling generous. I am giving you the file FREE! Click HERE to download.

now for the behind;)















I don't know what it is, but I still haven't heard back from anyone about the surprise giveaway. Sooooooooo, if you want the necklace leave me a comment!

Around the house

Here is my completed superman onesie I was needed to finish for the baby shower.

I took a few pics around the house. I love collages of family pictures on my wall. Unfortunately, I only have 1:( Oh well. Too much of a good thing is never good. So, here is my favorite wall. It is full of pics of my adorable family. So about the mirror in the cream shelf, there was a wicked flash in it and now it just looks dirty after I removed the flash. It really was clean;)

Lastly, I finally hung the pics my sister in law brought back from China.

We centered them between the windows in our master bedroom. I know it doesn't look like it in the picture, but that's because I had to take it at an angle. The bed was in the way.

So, I need some help on window treatments. I can decide what to do for the 2 windows in this picture. Any ideas? Please share because I am at a loss. I am not a big fan of valences.

Wild Thing

"Wild thing, you make my heart sing, you make everything, groovy." This week end we celebrated a little wild thing. My friend is expecting her 1st baby (it's a boy). She's due in June. YEAH! So, let me take you on a tour of baby shower.
The theme was jungle/wild thing. So, Megan pulled through on decor. She made leaves, had balloons, used streamers to create vines, and I think it turned out perfect! When you first walk into the door this is what you see. My husband will NOT be playing the Wii when the party starts:) Notice the stand with the frame on it? Yep, I am reusing the sign from THIS baby shower.

We jazzed it up a big with some green confetti.

Balloons, leaves, streamers, can it get any better for a jungle!?! I think not.

I LOVE this sign Megan made. Isn't it adorable. That was a rhetorical question.

More streamers, leaves, and balloons. Tomorrow there will be food set up and the table will be filled with all supplies needed for decorating onesies!














The table was filled with supplies to decorate onesies. Paint, stenciles, fabric, heat n bond, a book full of ideas, and scissors.

I made some tissue paper flowers

Here is the delicious food.

Here is the amazing diaper cake the preggy momma's friend Heather made. I wanted to show it at all angles so you could see the goods she scored on this one;)

Here are the onesies that were created. I am still working on my superman onesie. I needed to let the paint dry before I added the second layer.

Here is a close up of some that I thought were really cute. The new-parents-to-be call the baby lizard. So this lizard onesie was perfect.

Here is the bum of the lizard onesie:) Love it!

Last but not least, the gorgeous preggy momma (in the middle. She doesn't really look that pregnant in the pic)

Can can Skirt and logo

Well, here is the mother's day dress my little woman is wearing to church!

This is the Can Can Skirt from Made. I paired it with one of my original designed onesies! If that skirt flips up, you see a cute ruffly bum underneath!

Also, I made a logo for my labels! When you see this, you will know Therapeutic Crafting made it!

Brown and Pink

I created a new onesie for my etsy store. It looks really cute on my lil' woman;)

So, because I am feeling so happy today AND my etsy store has really taken off. I am going to offer all my followers a 20% discount on their 1st purchase. When checking out, put TCFollower in the comments! YEAH! Offer ends April 30th.

Now, on to something I am really excited about! I found a few necklaces I fell in love, but not the price. So, I decided to make my own;)

First up from Gap $29

My version for only $1.99

I already had the ribbon and the beads were 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I threaded the beads onto the ribbon. It was that easy:)

Next up: $78 from Ann Taylor

My version only $5

Beads were 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I bought a little bit of pink tulle and I already had the gems for the middle. I don't usually make jewelry so I didn't separate each bead with wire. I just used fishing line and threaded the beads on. No hassle and it took all of 5 minutes to make;)

Reverse Stencil

I was really excited to make a peace sign on a onesie. I drew a stencil on contact paper, cut it out, and then realized I had done it the wrong way. Instead of creating a stencil, I had made the shape. CRAP!














I did the pink one first.  I loved how it turned out it so I decided to do it again, but with a tutorial for all of you!

Well, I didn't want it to go to waste, so I decided to do a revers stencil. Bam! I put it onto the onesie.

Armed with a paint brush and paint.....

This is the paint I bought at Joanns using a 40% off coupon.

I squirted green paint all over it.

I squirted yellow paint on top.

Using the paint brush, I lightly mixed and spread the paint. It gives the base a tie dyed look. Then I squirted yellow paint on top of that. 

I squirted more green paint and then let it dry for about  1 hours.

I peeled off the peace sign and let it dry completely for another 24 hours. I just wanted to make sure it was completely dry. Here it is in all it's glory. This one I wanted to see what it looked like if I didn't go outside the circle. I think I like it better when the paint is spread to the outside too.  I did that on the pink one and it gives it more definition.

Notice how I spread the paint to the outside of the circle.

I would love to see the reverse applique onesies you do. Get creative and use different shapes! Link up so we can all see your creativity.
