Easter Outfits and Etsy Artist prettylittle

Click Here To Go Straight To My Giveaway

I really wanted to show off the Easter Outfits I made for my girls today, but wasn't able to get a photo of them together..

So these are some photos from Easter day, seperately, lol.

Lilly loved wearing a dress that coordinated with her little sissy, it was very sweet.

And Shay liked to...well, slobber, on her outfit.

I didn't make them the same, as you see.

Lilly's dress is a twirl dress. Shaylynne's is a short dress with with ruffled pants. I finished the dresses differently, Lilly's ends in ruffles while Shay's ends in Bias Tape. I'm in love!

They had a blast, lots of new candy and toys!

The 'Easter Bunny' left Lilly a basket filled with sugary goodness, an Easter Barbie, Easter Pony, and cute baby doll (also Easter themed). Shaylynne recieved Easter socks, 'pretties', and baby teethers (chew toys).

My Etsy Find

Look how cute these Ridiculously Little Bunny Slippers are!

These can be found at prettylittle

These bunny slippers aren't just pretty little, they're RIDICULOUSLY LITTLE!! But what, you may ask yourself, would you ever do with these silly little things...?

Things you could do with a pair of ridiculously little bunny slippers:

Put them on your fingers. Put them on a doll. Make them into key chains, earrings, brooches, or drink markers. Tie them to a gift box. Give them out as baby shower favors. Glue them onto magnets and put them on your fridge. Hang them from your rear view mirror. Glue them to a picture frame or photo album. Place them atop pencils.

Things you should NOT do with a pair of ridiculously little bunny slippers:

Eat them. Make squeaky, cutesy, giggly noises at them until you nauseate those around you. Try to put your feet in them (although, they would look pretty cute on that baby toe...). Try to put your pet's feet in them (believe me, they don't appreciate that).

Easter Sunday

HAPPY EASTER

I was planning on showing off my little girls' matching Easter dresses today, but... Time has flown too fast!

They wore them to see the Easter Bunny, as you see. I'll take photos tonight though, I'm in love with these outfits!

We did see the Easter bunny yesterday, Lilly was sad because he didn't talk to her :(

But she was thrilled that she was able to sit on his lap!
Neither one of my girls smiled for the photo, lol. (that made me sad) Maybe next year.

Lilly missed the Easter Egg hunt, she woke up very sick.. So today we are going to Grandma's house for an easter egg hunt.

(I can't wait)

Lilly couldn't sleep last night so I told her all about the Easter Bunny.

She has to go to sleep so that he will come and leave gifts and candy inside her basket. But if she doesn't go to sleep, he won't be able to come. She was very excited that she had already met the bunny. It took her no more than 10 minutes to force herself to sleep after that story!

I went to the kitchen to put her basket together and found myself equally as excited.

I spent the time remembering my own early Easters, how much fun they were. I'd go to bed, barely able to sleep, filled with anticipation. I'd always wake early (Just like Christmas morning) and race to the kitchen table to find my filled Easter basket.. Tearing through it to find all the yummy goodies.

I bet You remember doing this, right?

The memories brought a smile to my face. Mostly because I'm creating similar memories for my little ones. Knowing that she might feel the same way I did, just makes me the happiest..

(And knowing that it was me that did it for her)

What do you do on your East morning?

My Custom Easter Dress and personal moment

BLOG GIVEAWAY IS ONE POST DOWN!

I am in love with this dress! It was a custom order from a customer, but now I just have to make it for Lilly! And possibly a very miniature similar version for Shaylynne...

I've got to say, the customer who ordered this dress has got to be one of the most easy going customers I've ever dealt with. :) I did take a little extra time on this dress than expected. I was very backed up with my orders from Etsy and off Etsy.. :( (I hate being backed up) But she didn't mind a bit and was in no rush. So I threw in quite a few freebies for her and her daughter, yay!

I've been selling boutique style clothing for quite a while now..I used to use ebay.shhh.. I was always very good with my time management. But I also only had one little princess at the time. I didn't realize how much just one tiny extra person could impact my creating and selling. I find it so difficult to fit time in to sew while trying to care for her. I often wonder how others do it. I'm sure there are even single mothers out there who create products to sell. How do they do this? It's almost miraculous!

I find that I am beginning to care less and less for my shop, to the point that I barely promote it. But I do promote my blog. Having and Etsy shop is more of a hobby for me. It gives me something to do, other than only being a SAHM.. But I'm beginning to wonder if it's just weighing me down. My girls are growing so fast and I sometimes feel like I don't spend enough time with them because of my Etsy store. I almost feel forced, but not completely. I've been considering putting my shop on Vacation mode so that I don't feel so pressured. But I don't totally want to do that.

This is a whole lot of ramblings going on! lol What would you do in this situation?
