Pillow Case Dress



After long hours and days of thinking and research I have finally decided that Tootles TuTus & Whimsical Designs will now only have TuTus, retro Girly outfit (such as the pillowcase dress pictured) ,other girly retro things  (ex: pillows, signs and aprons) and candle wraps.
Not to say that here and there I wont make a stitched sign or other primitive things upon request. But I felt , along with a very wise friend, that my 'shop' offered too wide of a products.


Now on to my newest product!!!! My latest and cutest one so far..... The pillow case dress. I find that it is so hard to locate a cute summer dress that is something my daughter can wear all summer..... not to mention years! Yep... the pillowcase dress ( I didnt actully use a pillow case) can fit 3T up until they are 7 years old!! Just put leggings or tights under it. Cadence even asked me if I would make her a tank top with the same style. It is so cute!!!! I can do any print or color that you can find. We have decided that the ribbon is a tid bit long on hers right now but I wasnt sure and wanted to make sure we had enough.
So needless to say that this is a great/wise purchase since you can get years of use from it!!! Just let me know if you would like one.
Sizes are 6 mths-18mths
12 mths -2T
3T-7 yrs
( will vary depending on the height and size of the child)
I can customize!

Birthday Fun!


My husband & I have birthdays in January and 11 days apart!!! For a birthday gift he took me to see JAKE OWEN!!! Scott, Cadence & I all love him and this was Scott & I's 3rd time seeing him. And just for an extra bonus Scott got us meet & greets with Jake afterwards. Needless to say I was excited! He is soooo dreamy! lol....



Cadence was not happy that she was not going! So we took her picture with us in hopes that he might sign it.. and he did!!!!!!!!!! Then he said to let him take his picture with her picture so that she could have one too!!! He is the most down to earth guy ever ( and a smile that makes you melt!)

It was by far one of the best birthdays EVER!!!!

Welcome to the New Year!




So the candle wraps are a big hit.. I do love them... I'm just hoping that everything else begins to be as big of a hit!! :)




On to TuTu's I just got in some gorgeous gold tulle!!! I love it!!! It is so darling!!


Now personal info.....
My Aunt Linda (My Dad's Brother's wife) passed away today. Just recently did she get diagnosed with a rare liver disease. She was IU Med Center in Indy since Dec 9th waiting on a Liver Transplant. She was only 58 and other than this sudden problem a very healthy woman. It has hit my Uncle and my Dad really hard. We are all very upset but they seem beyond themselves with it. So I do ask for your prayers for our entire family.
Thank you,
~A

Let it snow, let it snow......

I don't know about you but around this time of year I get cabin fever. As long as its not bone-chilly out we go out and play in the snow. One thing that we as a family are going to do this year is eat healthier and get out and 'play/exercise.'
To keep with that I felt the need to shovel the drive way by hand and now I can feel it in my middle back muscles!!! Not sure how that will work out in the morning!!!!
Since we got a bunch new snow/ice these past days I have made a primitive snowman.
And I was trying out my new sewing machine and I made a cute little star pillow!
Working on a few candle wraps- I will make sure I get them up as I get them done. {But for some reason today the site is not letting me up load!! So I will post them asap!!!} Still trying to time myself on everything. I had 2 orders for TuTu's over the holidays and they were given as gifts... The girls won't stop wearing them!!! :)
Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a joyous New Year.
Tootles,
