<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's being crazy this days. A lot of things to do and time runs fast. My niece Alessandra turned one week old and I wanted to take some pictures of her as a newborn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided to make her outfit. A cute and easy one. My other niece Emily helped me. She's eight years old, so if you know how to read this, you can also do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here the step by step…</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Materials:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">2 Rolls of Tulle</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">1 Yard Braided Elastic 1/2'' Wide</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">1/2 Yard of Fold Over Elastic</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Ribbon Flower</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Scissors</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Thread</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Needle</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wQ80_TAU4QM/U7dK8SYgf0I/AAAAAAAAAnU/xWK-BT83xh8/s1600/materiales.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wQ80_TAU4QM/U7dK8SYgf0I/AAAAAAAAAnU/xWK-BT83xh8/s1600/materiales.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought 3 rolls of tulle because I wanted the tutu very fluffy, but 2 rolls were enough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3CWFJot0oj8/U7dQ0xmopZI/AAAAAAAAAng/vrqLkny24vg/s1600/headband1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3CWFJot0oj8/U7dQ0xmopZI/AAAAAAAAAng/vrqLkny24vg/s1600/headband1.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
Measure the baby's head and cut the fold over elastic that size. Sew the headband with a simple stitch by the right side.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mEEiIQ_xhxc/U7XM19zQS0I/AAAAAAAAAic/JpgDE28uj3k/s1600/headband2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mEEiIQ_xhxc/U7XM19zQS0I/AAAAAAAAAic/JpgDE28uj3k/s1600/headband2.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I opened the seams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yPF9NkI6ae8/U7XM2nbBjVI/AAAAAAAAAig/RwMduyFzDUw/s1600/headband3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yPF9NkI6ae8/U7XM2nbBjVI/AAAAAAAAAig/RwMduyFzDUw/s1600/headband3.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And sew the ribbon flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4y4_X5ZzIxU/U7XLvC800BI/AAAAAAAAAiA/5gc2_GAxIQQ/s1600/elastico2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4y4_X5ZzIxU/U7XLvC800BI/AAAAAAAAAiA/5gc2_GAxIQQ/s1600/elastico2.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Tutu, measure the baby's belly. Cut the braided elastic that size. Sew a simple hand stitch to close it.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_wMNKNsCvU/U7XN0slqw4I/AAAAAAAAAiw/OzKe8ytVu0g/s1600/paso1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_wMNKNsCvU/U7XN0slqw4I/AAAAAAAAAiw/OzKe8ytVu0g/s1600/paso1.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut the rolls of tulle every 15". Fold them by the middle and place like the picture.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6547QD-sKFY/U7XNyU6XjVI/AAAAAAAAAio/JE3cBw8euqs/s1600/paso2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6547QD-sKFY/U7XNyU6XjVI/AAAAAAAAAio/JE3cBw8euqs/s1600/paso2.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take both ends of the tulle inside the hole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdg8kZlymSQ/U7XPqNs34yI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/hoY0IA7mPFQ/s1600/paso5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zdg8kZlymSQ/U7XPqNs34yI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/hoY0IA7mPFQ/s1600/paso5.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pull it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZaYQMXG6Ec/U7dExEbxglI/AAAAAAAAAm4/fkDWsSQUrl0/s1600/paso6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZaYQMXG6Ec/U7dExEbxglI/AAAAAAAAAm4/fkDWsSQUrl0/s1600/paso6.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the way it will look behind. Now repeat until you fill the hole elastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made three skirts to look the way I wanted, but since I knew it would be for a backward picture, the second and the third one I only fill a half of the elastic, the backward part. It would make it more comfortable for her belly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I'm getting confused. I'm a Fashion Designer, aspiring to be an Interior Designer and Decorator but also love the Newborn Photography. What should I do?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Note: I'm very interested to learn more english, so if you find some mistakes, I will appreciate if you leave a comment to let me know.</div>

Me inscribí a un concurso pensando que con el premio me podría comprar unos zapatos nuevos. Pedí que votaran, era fácil para mí. En respuesta obtuve un montón de mensajes. Algunos para pedirme instrucciones de cómo votar, otros para decirme que tenían problemas con la página y aún así seguían intentando. No faltó la persona que votara todos los días, la que pidiera a cada cliente votar, la maestra que lo dejara de tarea a sus alumnos, la que lo pidiera a sus familiares, amigos, empleados, compañeros, etc. Hay quienes me decían "yo voto de la oficina, de mi casa y del celular para acumular mas votos". El chisme del día era cómo iban las encuestas. Me dijeron que hasta fans tengo :O.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Entonces pensé que con mis deseos avariciosos podríamos perder y el esfuerzo de muchas personas al votar sería en vano. Así que prometí que si ganaba duplicaría el premio y con él haría una buena acción. Mi madre dice que las cosas funcionan así. Y las mamás siempre tienen la razón.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lo de los zapatos es broma, sólo fué por dramatizar. La verdad es que ni siquiera pensé que tendría tanta ayuda y la posibilidad de ganar. Aún así, el pedir que votaran no era por el premio, a mi me sirve el hecho de que muchas personas podrán ver lo que hago y con suerte eso se convierta en trabajo ahora que me les voy a California ;).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No pido que el dinero me caiga del cielo, sólo un buen trabajo, salud e inspiración.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sobre la buena acción ya les estaré dando noticias, y no porque me crea la Santa Madre Teresa de Calcuta, sino porque creo merecen saber a dónde irá a parar su esfuerzo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listos para votar de nuevo? Vayan agarrando pilas que ya casi queda lista la recámara de mi sobrina Alessandra. Está quedando de ensueño y digna de concurso.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De nuevo Muchas Gracias!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, I'm very busy decorating my newborn niece and future goddaughter's nursery room. I'm almost finishing. I bought my first upholstery stapler and I was so excited to make something with. So, my first project was this gathered cornice. I had my own idea and I searched for something similar on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> to show my sister how it would look and couldn't find it. At the end was more beautiful that I imagined. No complaints from my sister (my niece's mom).</div>
The instructions next…<br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">From the beggining to the end...</span><br />
<ul></ul>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ifrPYdisSHU/U6HFAiVQn1I/AAAAAAAAAeE/VPWnNElGg4U/s1600/molde.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ifrPYdisSHU/U6HFAiVQn1I/AAAAAAAAAeE/VPWnNElGg4U/s1600/molde.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Measure your window. Draw your design on paper at least 8" wider. Only a half, if you want it symmetrical. Cut it. Then draw it on the MDF board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rKooezGBiOk/U6-CA59R0XI/AAAAAAAAAfg/AbT-SynT4JA/s1600/20140623165713_IMG_8835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rKooezGBiOk/U6-CA59R0XI/AAAAAAAAAfg/AbT-SynT4JA/s1600/20140623165713_IMG_8835.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut the MDF board by the line with an electric coping saw. You can also do it with a manual one. For me (stealing my brother's tools) was kind of difficult to do it perfectly, so I used a wood file to make rounded edges smoother. I asked my local hardware store to cut the right lines. I only cut the rounded because they don't do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_2MQMHfhLs/U6-B-pVZgbI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/0V4l4qoH-N8/s1600/20140623170438_IMG_8840.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_2MQMHfhLs/U6-B-pVZgbI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/0V4l4qoH-N8/s1600/20140623170438_IMG_8840.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some cocks to assemble. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NpsTvNpYTOo/U6-CHehiXqI/AAAAAAAAAfw/_uReA1e0IJk/s1600/20140626133719_IMG_9220.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NpsTvNpYTOo/U6-CHehiXqI/AAAAAAAAAfw/_uReA1e0IJk/s1600/20140626133719_IMG_9220.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a screwdriver tool to assemble easier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UQIL17Kmtcc/U6-CF2rEEOI/AAAAAAAAAfo/fDHdiZbGACk/s1600/20140626133958_IMG_9226.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UQIL17Kmtcc/U6-CF2rEEOI/AAAAAAAAAfo/fDHdiZbGACk/s1600/20140626133958_IMG_9226.JPG" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also use a manual screwdriver.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pine board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Assemble the pine board pieces with cocks and screwdriver gun tool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks this way assembled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used an electric grinder to cut the rods to size. For your safe use clear glasses. You can also ask to be cut at your local hardware store or use a hacksaw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QZyb6EN1w9U/U6-ECcYyMrI/AAAAAAAAAf4/ITWHEyD1C2A/s1600/materiales.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QZyb6EN1w9U/U6-ECcYyMrI/AAAAAAAAAf4/ITWHEyD1C2A/s1600/materiales.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some materials: nylon cord, stapler, staples, foam to fabric adhesive spray, foam, fabric and upholstery track strips.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: justify;">My sister's baby shower is coming and we are making some DIY stuff to decorate. One of my favorites is this framed chalkboard wall art. Do you want to do something similar?</span><br />
<div>
Here what you need...<br />
<br />
Materials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Frame</li>
<li>Ribbon</li>
<li>Acrylic paint</li>
<li>Mixing container</li>
<li>Unsanded tile grout or plaster</li>
<li>Paint stirrer</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Wooden or MDF board cut to fit in frame (Tip: You can have it cut at your local hardware store)</li>
<li>Foam roller or sponge paint brush</li>
<li>Paint tray</li>
<li>Nails</li>
<li>Hammer</li>
<li>Chalks</li>
<li>Sponge</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Start mixing 1 cup of paint into a container. Add 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout or plaster. Mix with a paint stirrer, carefully breaking up clumps.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Apply paint with a roller or a sponge paintbrush to the board. Let dry. Do it about 3 times for full coverage.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write or draw what you want, you can also delete everything with sponge or cloth.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Insert chalkboard into frame.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Hang with a ribbon nailed to the frame and then nailed to the wall.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Enjoy!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My little sister is expecting a Baby Girl. I'm gonna be her Godmother, so excited. We were searching for invitations for the baby shower ready to print and didn't find them. Since the theme will be vintage and flowers, here what I decided to make. I found a <a href="http://kichiwall.com/vintage-floral-wallpaper-hd-for-pc/" target="_blank">vintage floral wallpaper</a> on internet and mixed up with a <a href="http://antiqueimages.blogspot.mx/2013/05/free-digital-frame-printable-frame-with.html" target="_blank">vintage frame</a> on Photoshop. I wrote the text on it. If you don't have Photoshop, you can also use a website photo editor like <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/" target="_blank">Pic Monkey</a>. You can mix some layers, text and effects on it, It's so cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the envelopes I found a <a href="http://bnute.blogspot.mx/2012/05/scrapbook-paper-ideas-printed-envelope.html" target="_blank">5x7 envelope template</a> and filled up with the same <a href="http://kichiwall.com/vintage-floral-wallpaper-hd-for-pc/" target="_blank">vintage floral wallpaper</a>. You can print it as it on texturized, colored or scrap book sheets.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I printed on antique pink sheets. Two size of thick. Cards are ticker than envelopes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cut the cards and envelopes with a cutter and a clear ruler. Assemble the envelopes with glue stick. Put the card inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decorated with a ribbon bow and paper flower. You can also use lace or pearl strings. The hot glue is better for this. Close the envelope with a piece of clear tape and Voila! Is Ready!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I'm not even an expert about crochet, but I wanted to make this crown for my little nephew and take some pictures. I used two strings of the yarn at the same time (I didn't find the perfect thick of yarn in the color I desired). The crochet hook is 75MM.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jB0r2oTb2fk/U2jm4bZGH6I/AAAAAAAAAOU/soxhymEN3qw/s1600/crochetcrowncollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jB0r2oTb2fk/U2jm4bZGH6I/AAAAAAAAAOU/soxhymEN3qw/s1600/crochetcrowncollage.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
Here the pattern:<br />
<ul>
<li>First Round: knit 84 chains, fasten off.</li>
<li>Second Round: 1 single crochet and 2 chains in every 3 chains, fasten off.</li>
<li>Third Round: now you have 28 holes.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>In the first one knit 2 single crochet.</li>
<li>Second one 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 4 chains, fasten off at the beginning of this four chains. 1 double crochet and 1 half double crochet.</li>
<li>Third one, 2 single crochet.</li>
<li>Fourth one, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 4 chains, fasten off at the beginning of this chains. Turn your knit, in this hole knit 5 chains, 1 single crochet, 8 chains, 1 single crochet, 5 chains and 1 single crochet at the end of the hole. Now you have 3 new holes. Turn your knit and make 7 single crochet in the first one, 12 single crochet in the second one, 7 single crochet in the third one. Knit 1 double crochet and 1 half in the second round hole.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Repeat from number 1 to 3, seven times. Fasten off and you're done.</li>
</ul>
Spray enough starch on your crown until it's completely wet. Put it on a round glass same size. Wait until is dry. It makes the crown stiff. If you don't trust the starch for the chemicals on your baby you can also mix some water with corn starch or powdered gelatin and cook until is boiling. <br />

When my first Nephew was born 10 years ago we got crazy. One of the most pretty things we made for him was a custom bassinet. Recently for our sixth baby in the family we decided to made a new one. Pretty similar to the old one.
Here what my sister and I did…</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We bough a simple white bassinet at <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pottery Barn Kids</a>. The cushion pad is from <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Babies R Us</a>. We wanted to make it taller, so we installed 10" wood leg extensions (you can find them at <a href="http://www.lowes.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lowe's</a> and ask to cut them the size you want) with sided screws. The canopy holder is made by galvanized wire 9 gauge and wrapped with a fabric lace.
Bedding, skirt and canopy is custom made. Inside there is another tulle skirt. So it looks bulkier.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">My little nephew was born just one month ago and I got a job… Decorating his Nursery Room.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My sister (the baby's mom) is really picky. So, I'm glad she choose me to help her, it means she trust me for something it's really important to her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We travel to so many cities looking for furniture, fabrics and all the stuff we needed. Thankfully, now I know almost all the California State. Also I bought some fabrics in Mexico. Drapes, bedding and almost all the fabric stuff is custom made by me. I did install everything, from lighting to shelving, etc. I put all the things together and I fell in love. I took the pictures and decided to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to Family and Friends who gifted my nephew little things to decorate and make it more beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you think that I would be a good Interior Designer?</div>
