Car Seat Cover #2

Remember the car seat cover I made for Quinn? Well, not long after I posted it, I had a request to make one for another sweet little baby I know! So here it is!!!! You should get it today (you know who you are!!) Hope sweet little Miss O loves being snuggly warm in it!!!

January Sew Along!!

I decided to join Kymy at Everything Your Mama Made & More for a 12 month sew along! I am hoping it will prompt me to try new things and make sure to get some sewing done monthly!!

For January we were to sew something for ourselves. Now, the Hello Kitty stuff isn't mine! I started with the green & teal one below - thought it would be cute on a headband! They are fun and easy so I kept going! The Hello Kitty & K-State ones are for other projects I will share shortly!!




Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Car Seat Cover!

Winter is in full force here in the Midwest! So I thought I would share a sewing creation of mine that has been getting lots of use!

I saw the tutorial on Cluck, Cluck Sew HERE and knew I wanted to try it! I just opted for warmer fabrics!


So here Quinn's carseat cover!

More Sewing!!!!

I have been bad about posting to this blog!!! So I figured I could show you some sewing I have done over the last month or two!!! This pink and yellow taggie blankie is one I made for Little Miss Marin!!!! I just love the decorative stitching options on my new sewing machine!!!

Way back in May, I tried my hand at making a bag! It was my first time and I can use some practice!! But I enjoy trying new things anyway! This bag I made for Kenendy's preschool teacher. For the last day of school we filled it with stuff from Bath & Body Works - so it was a bit heavy!!!

And this was my first order!!!!! I hope little baby Eden enjoys it!!!! I will be opening an Etsy shop...working on that now. And I am sewing like crazy trying to build up a little inventory! I will share it all with you when it is up and running!!!!

I Can Sew!!!!!

Before you read this entire post, keep in mind that I still consider myself a newbie when it comes to sewing! I have sooooo much more to learn! But I am loving this new hobby of mine! Do you think Jeff would build me a sewing room to go along with my scrapbook room?!?! I know better than to ask!!

It seems that lately I have been surrounded by pregnant family members and friends!!! So I have been trying my hand at sewing baby gifts!!! They are way too fun and addicting! This weekend was a baby shower for my dear friend Cris. She is pregnant with her third child. Her first two are boys and this one is a girl!!!!! As you can imagine, this shower was filled with pink! Baby Larkin in going to be one spoiled little girl (as it should be!!)

This is what I created for Little Miss Larkin!!

Now, it was my FIRST time making a bib and a burp cloth - just keep that in mind and don't inspect too closely! I have made 2 more bibs since and they turned out MUCH better!!!!

My new favorite this to make is sensory blankets! I have made them in all different sizes with a variety of fabric types. My obsession for ribbon has come in handy with these!!!!


This is a small burp cloth!

And this one could be a lap blanket or a larger burp rag or a changing blanket! Whatever it is they need at the moment!!!

I cannot tell you how much fun I am having while I learn how to sew! Stay tuned for more sewing goodness in the next few weeks!!!

Featured at the MLS blog!

Just wanna share that I am featured at the My Little Shoebox Blog today! Take a peek if you want!!!!

My Little Shoebox!

I have been sewing lately and hope to share with you soon!

Nutty Girls

Time to show you more My Little Shoebox!!!! This is another layout I created with the Imagine a Forest line. YUM! The designers were challenged to scraplift another DT member this month - Michelle Lanning! You can see the layout I was to lift HERE.

My take was a little different. I used the circle paper and included a photo strip rather than one photo. I did keep the quilting feel to it but cutting lots of little rectangles and sewing each one individually. (I was watching Cake Boss on TLC while I made this!)

I love the little squirrels - and I even incorporated the big squirrel overlay!

*******************


This was my final layout with Imagine a Forest!!

I did lots of layering -and even some hand stitching in green and pink. (though it is really hard to see).

Thanks for taking a peek! I recently made some baby items for Simply Renee and am working on a joint project with My Little Shoebox, Shimmerz and Clear Scraps! So stayed tuned for more!

Randomness on a Saturday Night!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekends! We just got home from a BBQ with my Bible study gals and their families - had such fun!

Just hoping on quickly to post a few photos of recent projects!!!

Today we revealed the cards and tags from sketch #60 over at Triple the Sketch! Here is mine!

And I will be slowly sharing my Kraft Girl kit projects with the June kit! It has such fun, bright, summery colors and designs!!!!

On this layout I wanted a quilt-like feel. I cut out lots of squares and sewed them all on ! Lots of sewing but a fun look I think!!! I punched some circles out of the patterned paper with my Martha Stewart mini scallop punch - I am loving that thing! The journaling went right on the photo. Gotta love colored Sharpies!



I have lots more to share so check back in often! And enjoy your first June weekend!!!!
