Zoe's birthday party invites

Zoe is having a tea party birthday so I try to stick to the theme at any cost. These invites I decorated, but she decorated a couple too. We tried to do it together. There is a little pocket in the back that helps the "lid" slide in and out. I love how these turned out.
I am so annoyed but everytime I downloaded this photo, it changed it to a verticle format. You get the idea.

nesting dolls

When Mom came to visit she brought some nesting dolls with her. Lydia became obsessed and carried them everywhere with her, calling them her "puppets". Shortly after I found this pattern online that I purchased and made. I decided to put our families faces on them instead of the same face on all of them. Lydia loves them, but they are the kind of toy that are fun to take apart but difficult to put back together, so they are always apart.

necklace with handmade bead

I have had this bead for awhile. Made and given to me by a friend. I wish you could see the details of this bead. There is glitter, and stripey leaves and multicolored flowers. Amazing.
The necklace I made as a quickie for a birthday, but am quite pleased by how it turned out. The colors worked really well together.
