Home Decor- Easter Decorated Piano Top

Well I just dove right into light fresh happy spring decorating. I just love Spring and Easter. I adore the colors so much. Today I am sharing with you my Piano Top. My piano was inherited from my Grandma Jean. She was one of the most talented pianist and had a voice on her too. She was many many wonderful things. Each holiday my grandmother would decorate the top of her piano too. She past two April's ago, and I like to believe that each time I decorate my piano she comes to visit and see my work. I imagine her standing there in her sweet voice complimenting my decorating. I can hear her giggle and kind words, because she is just so tickled with my work and how it all looks. My grandmother's love of being a lady and a homemaker of many talents, has carried on into my life. I grew up always seeing the many things she made pretty, lovely, cozy, and homey. I must it write much else for my eyes are feeling up with tears now. So with that said, here are some photos for ya.

DIY Disneyland Shirt - and other cute clothing ideas

I decided that my  Mickey Purse just wasn't enough, so I made myself a shirt too. I used heat transfer vinyl in red and used a shirt I already had. I used my Disney Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge to cut out the Mickey silhouette and the Platinum School book cartridge for the M's in tall ball font. It was very easy to make this shirt. I love heat transfer vinyl. 

All the other pieces you see here were sent from my MIL. As usual she is an amazing and brilliant seamstress, and creates such fabulous projects. We appreciate all her hard work and the love that she puts into everything she makes for us.  xoxo Innie!

BEFORE

 HEAT transfer Vinyl from ExpressionsVinyl.com

Cut out your images from your Cricut and iron them on.

AFTER

... now with me being JENGLAMGIRL and all, of course I accessorize! my mother would be so disappointed if I didn't HA!

and these bracelets I had

 the darling Mickey Necklace my MIL sent one for Bella and I and she got them from AVON.

and some more CUTE DIY Clothing ideas. Add cute Disney Iron/sewn on patches to jean jackets, you can even do them all themed for your family. My MIL sent my kids each a denim jacket that she sewed Disney characters on. LOVE!!!

 Bella- has Belle- her FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS!

Preston's Jacket- Good Ole' Classic Mickey

 RYKER'S jacket- he loves GUNS aka boom booms. So woody is a no brainer

and buzz for my Evin chubz

Then she made Bella the most adorable Minnie outfit, I made the simple no brainer Minnie bow.

 and Daddy down to Evin all have matching Mickey pjs. I bought the boys white shirts to go with the bottoms

and...... I SAVED the very best for last. I CANNOT WAIT for our Character breakfast where the kids can mainly get their  
autograph books signed and BELLA CAN BE PRINCESS BELLE. I think I may cry in that happy moment of joy, and seeing Bella all dolled up hair and all in her Belle dress.

MY MIL made this gorgeous dress. SQUEAL!
