Headbands & Bows

So I have been on Etsy.com for about 2-3 wks now and ......... nothing! Yep! Not one sale! Tons of looking but no buying! uuugggghhhhhhhh!!!!! Seriously, come on people! What am I doing wrong?!

Anyways, I am loving the warm, nice, sunny weather! Cannot get enough of it!
We have been playing outside all the time and having so much fun together. Then it hits me .... she goes to school - Elementry school- next year. This is our last summer together before she is truly a big girl! Then the tears come flooding until I have given myself a headache. I can't help myself its way to much for me to take in. Please tell me that I am not the only one that this has happened too?! I don't want my princess to grow up. Even typing this I'm getting teary-eyed!

So... I will stop now & head into the kitchen to tackle the sink full of dishes! :) Happy Easter to everyone & God Bless.

Etsy...

So I am now up and on Etsy.com
Slowly but surely! Hopefully I will sell something soon. I have a fun new hair bow style that I just made and I put 2 of them and 1 TuTu on Etsy.

This TuTu is not up on Etsy yet... I just loved the picture of Cadence! As you can see she just lost her 3rd tooth! We also had Kindergarden Round-Up this past Wednesday. With all of the budget cuts & job loss for the teachers it really makes you worry about the future of your kids' education. We are crossing our fingers for 1/2 day Kindergarden!!!!!

She was so great about letting me take her pictures over & over. Because you really have no idea how they will turn out until you come inside and put them on the computer. Then I ran into the problem that my pics were too big..ugh.... I didnt want to download anything to my computer so I searched and found an awesome tool!!! webresizer.com.... its wonderful you can do tons of things with it.
These last two pics are the new style of hair bows that I am doing!
Let me know what you think.


Check out the shop @

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
