The Lace Princess turns 1 year old! Oh what beautiful memories these pictures bring back of her 1st birthday. The weeks leading up to the big event were filled with planning and crafting. A tutu for her real birthday and one for her party which was held several days later, a tiara headband and a castle cake were on the top of list of things to do. A lot of work but was it ever so much fun!
The party TUTU came first. I mixed plain white tulle with glittery tulle to create a festive, princess-like effect. And then ruffle edged ribbon for the shoulder ties. A white tulle flower in the front completed the darling birthday TUTU. I tried it on her to make sure everything fit perfectly and can you imagine the drama that followed when she realized she couldn't wear it forever n ever! Yes, she wanted to be a princess right away. I assured her that she could be a princess in her play clothes also and she reluctantly let me carefully store it away.
Next came the birthday TUTU. Since she was so little I couldn't stand the thought of not doing anything at all on her actual birthday. A friend of ours wanted to make the princess something special and I knew this would be the perfect thing for her to make! I chose hot pink, zebra and solid black tulle to create a varying look. And the black shirt and pink flower finished this special 1st birthday look.
