Hip-pity Hop-pity Happy Easter

Here is a little shirt I came up with for Easter. I have more ideas brewing, this is just the first one that came to fruition. My little guys seems to like it :-)

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!!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!

Yep, that is right, a half finished quilt top!! I started this probably 5 years ago and found it in one of my craft bins while looking for something else. It made me happy ;o)!! I now have a perfect little project to work on this afternoon while to boys are napping. I will let you know how it turns out.

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.
