Project Pics!

A coworker is going to my favorite place in a few weeks and bought the shirt/fabric for me to sew her little girl a shirt to wear while they are there. It is not perfect but turned out pretty cute. I hear she has a matching skirt! She also had someone else who has an embroidery machine make a really cute shirt with a girl with mouse ears...I think. It was really cute though and something I would definitely like to be able to do...maybe I will get an embroidery machine one of these days and the software for DW stuff!!

One of our coworkers took a job in the school system, so we had a potluck before she left us. She said she loves strawberry cake so just a few days after making dad's cake, I made some cupcakes to take to work. There were not many left at the end of the day! This picture is really bad, but the sprinkles are pearl white and so pretty! ha!

We are headed to see family soon, so I had to make stuff for my cousins! My cousin is having another little boy in Dec., so I made her some burp cloths and a bib with an Alabama/Football theme! I think they turned out so cute!

My other cousin has a little girl, so this cute shirt is going to her! It did not turn out how I wanted it to...oh well!

This one is going to my cousin's little boy! I really like this one and the shirt from ON is so soft! The football is with corduroy fabric!

These cute letters are for a coworker. We went to HL one day to buy these and scrapbook paper and everything else she needed to make the letters. When we were getting stuff, I decided there was no reason to buy stuff when I have it all at home. She picked out paper that would work to match the bedding but it didn't have any orange in it. I was thinking about it when I got home and decided it would be too cute painted to match. I told her if it looked bad I would cover it with the paper. It turned out pretty good and matches, too! It is not perfect but they like it and that is all that matters! ha!

I still have more projects on my to do list that seems to be growing instead of shrinking...good thing I enjoy crafty things! ha!

H is for Hallie

I have been sewing some more this weekend. Here is something I made for a friend from High School/Church who had a little girl in October. I never sent her anything, so I decided to pull out some of my new fabric and make something for sweet baby Hallie.

Another taggie with the pale pink minky dot fabric on the other side.

This might be some of my favorite fabric!!!

More coming soon! I have new fabric coming in this week to finish up a gift for one of my cousins and have to wait to post a few other things!!

Ready for More Sewing!

I am having so much fun sewing! I stayed up last night working on another project, and I have been brainstorming all day for more fun ideas. Here are some of the fun fabrics I have ordered. I just ordered more last night, too! I love the bright colors!!!

The dots are some of my favorites.

I could not resist the owl fabric!!

This one is just too cute. I ended up ordering more of this fabric once it came in because it is just too cute! I am thinking this fabric would make the cutest pillowcase dress!

C is for Conner

My first "order" was in-house...my mom. She needed a gift for a friend's grandson and asked me to make a boy "taggie." If it looks like I made it in just a couple of hours...that is because I made it in a couple of hours. At least the fabric is cute!

That Darn Cat

My new lens arrived last week, and I have been practicing since its arrival! Since the cat has made a good subject in the past, I have recruited her once again...she agreed to the fun, dirty looks and all!
One of her favorite spots is the sunshine. Since it is so cold outside, she takes the sun where she can get it inside. Sometimes it is in the kitchen and sometimes she parks herself on the steps where the sun comes shining through the back window! She was cat napping on the steps last weekend, so I could not resist and pulled out the camera with the new lens.

Her most favorite spot is the chair. She gets a little mad when someone joins her and moves her to the side, but she has no problem jumping up in the chair when someone is already there. It does make for a good nap on these cold winter days.

I have the day off because our center closed today, so I did partake in a little cat nap this morning. I was ready for the day before they posted the closing, so I had expected to go to work. Once I didn't have to go, I settled in on the couch for a nap.

The rest of the day will be filled with crafting of some sort. I went to HL last night in anticipation of being off work because of ice and snow, and got some fabric and scrapbooking supplies. I may attempt to make a blanket today with my new sewing machine and also get started on the Disney Scrapbook. Looks like I will be back at work tomorrow since the roads seem to be clear...probably could have gone to work today!

Card Making

I have always loved crafts and really like to scrapbook, but I have just starting getting into card making. I don't have time now because I should be studying (even as I type this, I should really be studying). Hopefully once I finish school officially, I will have more time to scrapbook and make cards. For now, here is one I recently created for my fieldwork supervisor.

Notepad

I wanted to make something special for my fieldwork supervisor. I had seen these notepads before, but I thought it would be fun to draw her kids and make it myself. She loved it! Any excuse for me to be crafty! I am looking forward to having some free time to catch up on my scrapbook!!
