This Tissue Number Birthday Sign is another inexpensive and quick party decoration. Clare delighted in the fact there was a giant 3 at her party since she has been sharing the news of her 3rd birthday with just about anyone who will listen for a month!

I’ve been working on sprucing up my hot-mess-converted-garage into a cozy and organized office/sewing room. I want to add some warm touches that make the desk seem like a peaceful place. I find this Majestic Oak fabric in Grass by Joel Dewberry is so soothing to look at, that I thought gazing at it peeking out under my laptop would add a little zen to my workday.
This desk pad is so simple to make, no sewing is required, and you could also do it with a pretty paper. Get the full Fabric Desk Pad Tutorial (and lots of different customization options) after the jump…

Y’all, this might be the best… fastest, cheapest, eye-pleasing-est party decorating trick ever. You can literally make this Tissue Garland that I made for Clare’s Buggie Birthday an hour before your party starts when, eh-hem, you should be showering.
When Jaime and I were at Quilt Market in Minneapolis, we saw these gorgeous Pom-Pom Hydrangeas on display at the Clover booth and quickly grabbed the DIY sheet. I knew they would be perfect for Clare’s Buggie Birthday and they WERE, but they are also gorgeous and elegant enough to leave up in the house beyond any event. Or they would make a beautiful gift!

Let’s kick off Prudent Baby’s Summer of Fanciful Treats: sponsored by Bake it Pretty with the lowdown on the little chocolate mold candies that we used to top the cupcakes for Clare’s Buggie Birthday. I’ve heard in the past that some of you have found molded chocolate treats difficult & annoying to make. Here is my process. Maybe you too will decide that that molded chocolate is the cake decorator’s secret weapon.

We threw Clare a Buggie Birthday Bash this weekend. She has been into Miss Spider lately (like obsessed) so we went with lots of little bugs and flowers on everything and she had a blast! Watch for the DIY scoop throughout the week.
