Creating Cuteness

What is a woman to do when she only has 3 boys and wants to make cute girly things???  Well she thinks of her oh-so-darling nieces.  Once in a while I get a hankering to make some cutesy things that my boys (nor my hubby) would ever approve of for themselves.  So thankfully our siblings have had little girls of their own that I can spoil as needed!!!

One of my latest crafty projects stems from Mother's Day.  If you see on my Mother's Day post, there is a flower/corsage made of fabric.  Well I just HAD to borrow the template from my friend so that I could make a bunch of flowers.  Of course the little girls in the family were on my mind...

I decided to make these little sandals for Madison and Charlotte P.  Baby Charlotte will get some next year.  I figured she wouldn't be as keen on them since she isn't walking yet!

I looked all over the place for some little girl sandals.  I should have gone to Old Navy in the beginning.  They have much sturdier flip-flops and their prices are always awesome - 2/$5. Then I had to narrow down the colors.  I had already picked fabrics so we just had to match things up.  Travis helped choose pink for Maddie - he figured she'd appreciate it more than the polka-dotted yellow flip-flops.  And for Charlotte's there wasn't a choice because they don't make little turquoise sandals. 

I hope they have outfits to match, but if they are anything like my boys, they don't care if it matches or not. 

Here is a closeup of the buttons along the sides.  I don't know if the buttons will stay on forever, but they sure are cute with the fabric flowers.
