4th of July Tutu
Last week I showed you a really cute picture of Baby Bug in a tutu that I had made. I've been a busy bee making more custom tutus. I just finished one of two 4th of July tutus, that Jill over at Charming & Delightful has ordered for her nieces. Thanks Jill!

Take a look and tell me what you think!

Tutu Cute! picture of Baby Bug
Click on image to enlarge for more detail.

Lately I've been immersed in yards and yards of tulle as well as ribbon, beads, silk flowers, and small sparkling jewels. I've been filling orders I'm receiving for custom made tutus.

I thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of Baby Bug modeling one of my recent creations. Her latest trick is sitting up on her own so I had Oronzo take some pictures of her at the park in her tutu and matching hair bow with the intention of creating a photo collage to give Baby Bug's father this Father's Day (I did something similar for Baby Bug's mother on Mother's Day). Isn't this baby just so darned cute?!

Tonight I'll be working on some 4th of July tutus (red, white, & blue tulle embellished with matching ribbon, red sequins, and stars) that I have on order. I'll have Boo model one of my 4th of July pictures to show you.

If you you're interested in having a custom made tutu created for your little girl, email me at sales@sparkleandcharm.com and I'll share some specifics.



P.S. I owe one lucky winner a $10 gift card to be used for any of my Sparkle and Charm Boutique products but before I randomly select a winner, I need to find the time to post more of my products (beaded jewelry, beaded bookmarks, tutus, etc.) so that you have a wide variety to choose from. Sorry for the delay!

P.S.S. I'm still trying to find the time to compare all the web designers that contacted me offering to design my Sparkle & Charm Boutique online store. I haven't reached a decision yet but I hope to in the near future!
