{My} Fabric Peony Flower from Creature comforts

I hope everyone had a joyous Easter! We had great fun with the family!

I am just sharing a quick post today to show you what I did for Bug's Easter dress. She was a flower girl for my brother in law's wedding back in September and still fit into the same dress so we decided to use it as her Easter dress. This was her as a flower girl:

I was originally going to use a different color sash but the sash was attached and since I don't sew or anything I didn't want to risk ruining it. Instead, I took off the white flower and added my own in purple {Bug's color choice}. 

I followed THIS tutorial on DIY Fabric Peony Flower Accessories from Creature comforts. It was so easy to follow and I love how it came out.

Circus Party Inspiration

I know it's about 4 months away but I am starting to plan Bug's 3rd birthday party! I can't believe she is going to be 3 soon. Time flies! We are having a Circus/Carnival party and I think I'm the most excited about this one!


Last year we did a "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" party inspired by some of these ideas. I didn't plan that party all that far in advance but I am hoping this one turns out better {and more organized!}

The scene:

I love this set up! Great colors, simple & pretty.

 {love this sign for the gate}

 {noses for all}

 {face painting/tattoos are a must}

Good thing I still have my ring leader costume from a couple Halloweens ago.

Dessert:

{love this banner cake}

{rice crispy pops}

{so funny - marshmallow dumbells}

Games:

{ring toss}

{hula hoops}

{ball toss}

{fish bowl game DIY} 

{love this idea for the prize}

{decoate your own hat}

Favors:

Aren't these the cutest ideas?! I need to make a list of things to get at the thrift store & things to save like those glasses for the fish game & bottles for ring toss.

If you have any other circus/carnival ideas I'd love to see!
