Birthday Gift

This is the rest of the gift that I made for my friend's little girl for her 2nd birthday. I actually had more fabric left than I thought, so I was able to make a little skirt to go with the applique shirt. SO cute! And, of corse a little hair bloom too :-)! Making little girl stuff is so much fun!

Crayon Roll

One of my friend's little girls is having a birthday on Sunday, so I thought this would be a perfect little gift. I got the AWESOME tutorial here. Which was actually amended to fit "large" crayons for younger little ones by Serena at one of my favorite crafty blogs here. Don't you love when someone does all the hard work for you and all you have to do is follow the simple directions??!!! I sure love it!

I am also making a cute appliqued initial t-shirt and a matching hair bow out of the same fabric, too. I will post some pictures of the whole gift when it is all finished :o). Super simple and I just love how it turned out!

Silhouette

This is the gift I made for the grandparents for Grandparent's Day. They LOVED them. I think I may have to make one for me too! The total cost of the project was about $4.00 a piece. Not too shabby if I do say so my self!

This is what I put on the back of the plaque. Yeah, it in nearly impossible to get a good handprint of a 10 month old. But hey, it is the thought that counts, right?

Ruffle Butt Onsie and Custom Bow Holder

Yay!! SO... my best friend did have a little girl!! SO... of course I had to make one of these adorable onsies to go with the little shoes!! You can find the tutorial here . They are so easy, and so freakin' cute, I couldn't make just one. I can't wait to see how adorable she looks in it!

The friend that I had made to birth announcement block for contacted me today and asked if I could make her a matching bow holder. So, I gave it a try... I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself :-)

Adorable cloth baby shoes

My best friend's baby is due any day now, and we are waiting to find out if it is a boy or a girl... but, if it is a girl she sure will look cute in these little shoes :-)!! I better whip up a boyish pair too, just incase :-)

I used this pattern which was SOOOO great!! Lots of pictures, and super simple to follow!! I think they turned out pretty cute for my first attempt.

Quilt squares, burp cloths, and a *NEW* foot :-)

One of my latest little crafting projects have been these cute little burp cloths that I made from this tutorial. They are supper easy and turn out really cute :-) I actually used a pack of flannel receiving blankets that I got as a baby gift when my son was born that were un-opened for the fabric.

I just LOVE the soft fuzzy edges

And, these are the quilt squares I have been working on. I can't wait to put this quilt together!! I am still trying to figure out exactly how I want to lay it out...

It is the Moda Arcadia fabric. I really like the patterns and colors. I used the "disappearing 9" method to make the squares. I love how easy it is to get a pretty neat looking block.

OH!! I can't forget this!! My new darning foot!! Now I can try my hand at machine stippling!! I am SO excited!!

Here is one of my practice swatches... It is really fun!!

Birth Announcement Block

This is the block I finished today for a friend of mine. I love the girly colors!

Pretty Pink Quilt

So, I finished the little baby quilt (thanks mom for your help)!! It is so cute... now just to find a sweet little one to give it to. Maybe my next baby will be a girl. Then I will be ahead of the game for once :o).

Here is my work in progress

All finished

Ready for squishy baby feet!

I could just eat them up!!

Fabric Blocks and Teething Rings

I made these super easy fabric toys for my little boy using this tutorial from a wonderful blog called make it and love it. Such a great little place on the web!! The only difference in mine are that I made a 6 inch block instead of a 4 in. I think my next project I may try to combine the taggie toy and the fabric block into a taggie block for one of my friends who is expecting her first little one at the end of the month!! I will post some pictures if they turn out cute ;o)

Liam loves his new toys ;o)

Hand Painted Birth Announcement Blocks

So, after spending endless hours stalking other crafting blogs I have made an executive decision to join in!! While I am in the process of getting up and running please bear with me, but I am excited to have a place to post all of my crafty creations, and get my "family" blog back to what it's intended purpose is... my baby boy!! So, for my first post I will leave you with one of my previous creations until I am totally on board.
