Making dresses
I've been having so much fun sewing lately! I'm almost done with the girls Easter dresses. Hannah's dress is finished. Naomi's needs a hem, the lining hand sewn and buttons added. And I just started Abi's dress. Hannah loves to sit next to me and watch me sew. She loves to watch the needle go up and down. I tell her to watch and make sure it keeps going up and down...mostly to keep her busy and away from trouble. She likes to stick anything she can under my needle so I've really got to keep an eye on that little lady.
I love being able to make clothes for my kids...it is SO rewarding to see them wearing something that I made. I love it even more when they love the dresses I make for them. I'm not a great seamstress but I can get the job done. My dresses can hold up in the wash and to daily wear...yes it would be nice to have a serger for the seams but I make what I have work!! And lately, Naomi has been wearing old dresses that I've made for her and it makes me smile every time. Yes, it's good for my ego!
I also like to be able to help my family out a little bit with spending money or money for some of the bills so I love being able to sell some of the dresses I make. I asked Hannah to model two of the dresses for me and had to keep reminding her that these were not for her to keep. I don't think she understood because every time she sees one of those dresses she says "hannah's dress". Well, when it's not hanging in her closet I think she'll understand. I do hope to make more for her for this summer. My plan is to let her run around in pillowcase dresses while potty training just to make life easier! Here are some of my favorite photos from the little "product photo sessions." I would have taken her outside to do these but it's been kind of chilly lately!
Size 3T/4T with ties that can go to the front or back - $25 plus s/h
Here is Hannah's dress all finished!!
Naomi's dress is almost done...

Pinterest Challenge - Bunny Shirts
I have been having a Pinterest Party every week hoping that people will link up their Pinterest Projects. Well we have been getting more non related links than related. So I decided just to share my Pinterest Bucket list projects. If you like you can link yours in the comments section.
Feel free to still use the Button. It's still fun to share that you took the challenge. ;D
Today I am sharing a project for Easter. I found THIS on Pinterest. Check it out. It is so cute. It's an adorable bunny applique for Easter with a fluffy tail.
I made this one for a friends daughter. Its on a onesie. Also made a braided headband and clippie to match.
I made some for my girls too but haven't quite finished them yet. I will add them to the post as soon as I finish them. ;D
All I did was use a no sew bond. I like the hold better. Then embroidered around the edge. The tail is a pre-made pin I found in the jewelry department a while back. I knew it would come in handy some day. Turned out cute! I can't wait to see her wear it.

Lunch Bag Bunnies
Need to make a quick Easter craft?
Most likely you already have lunch bags, scissors and markers in your house, if you're like me. LOL So it will be easy to gather up the supplies and make these with your little ones.
What you will need...
Brown Paper Lunch Bags
Scissors
Permanent Marker
Markers or Color Crayons
Stapler
Plastic Grass
Instructions below on how to make these. They are so quick and easy.
Start out by tracing (with your permanent marker) bunny ears on your paper bag. The kids can do this too, but lil ones may make their ears too small. They need to be large so you can get into the bag for your hunt or goodies.
Hand it over to a kiddo for cutting. It's starting to look like a bunny. Pretty cute huh?
Now the fun part. Adding the face and coloring. Let your kids draw on their face. Make sure you give them a few examples so they can get ideas and sizes too!
When you open up your bag, you are going to have some extra material from cutting the ears. Go ahead and cut both sides off so you just have the front and back ears.
I cut one side off so you can see which ones to cut. Next I will cut off the other side.
Now that you cut the sides off and have all the coloring, you need to staple the front and back ears together.
Look at how cute these lil bags turn out! And they can look different by adding different style faces.
You can even make a boy by adding a bow to the bottom of the bag. CUTE! Or should I say HANDSOME!
The girls had so much fun making them, we have more than we need. ;-)
And just look at how happy they are with their bunnies. I love all the different looks and the short ears too!
It took us about 15 minutes to make all these bunnies, including photo taking time. So these will make a fun and quick craft this Easter.
Please share your Lunch Bag Bunnies with us! Link up below

Happy Easter from the TT Team!
The Trendy Treehouse Team wants to wish everyone a very "Happy Easter"!
Below are a couple images for you to save and print for your kiddos this Easter. Have fun and remember the reason for the season! Love to all from the Trendy Treehouse team!
What I like to do is take each image, print on a 8 x 10 page and staple them all together for Easter day activities. The kids love having their own books and it's fun watching them color each picture. This is even great to do when going out to eat because kids get tired of the restaurant menus.
