The holiday handmade gift making is in overdrive.  I hope to have it all finished by the end of the weekend.  We’ll see.

I’ve convinced my hubby that a ‘proper’ workspace for myself is in order.  I tried to kick Makena out of her room but she’s older now and knows better.  I got a resounding ‘nooooooo.’

Who knew a cape and tutu assembly line took up so much space.  I’ve got my supplies spread out all across the kitchen bar and flowing onto the kitchen table.  And I can’t possibly put them away with Santa’s workshop in full swing.

A trip to Ikea is in the plans today for a desk to put into our bedroom to use as my craft space.  I swear that’s all I want for Christmas.  Oh yes, and a new sewing machine please… please.

I recently saw a quote on an artist’s painting that read…

“I’m fairly certain that given a cape and nice tiara I could save the world.”

Tutu Fabulous

I have to agree.

But let’s not forget tutu’s for the special occasions.

This sweet little number was my first attempt at a tutu and although it took way more tulle than I had imagined, it turned out pretty nicely I think.  So much so, in fact, that I think I want one.

And let’s not forget the cape and tiara.

So my wish for you this last weekend before Christmas… when you’re feeling a little down, over stressed, under paid and feeling somewhat under appreciated… put on your imaginary cape and tiara.  You’ll save the world.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend and I’ll see you on the other side.

Love and Peace.

    Those colours are beautiful together. Love it! And yes, you should have one. I want to be a fairy princess too, why does my daughter get all the dress-up fun. I always remember Carrie Bradshaw wears a tutu like skirt teamed with tight and very grownup singlet in S*X + the City. (didn’t want any inappropriate spiders cruising your website..).
    Capes, tiaras and tutus…. oh, what Super Women we would be!
    Take care.

    The cape. Of course, it’s the cape. The damn tiara by itself doesn’t do the trick…. thanks for the tip, hon. ;)
