Pendant Project!

My semi-annual craft project post is here!  Haha - just kidding - I do way more projects than 2 a year.  At least 4.  :)

This project started when I saw a newborn photo that used this pendant bunting in it.  Along with this photo came a very handy tutorial which gave me the confidence to go ahead and try it.  I had always known the basic premise for making these but just never got around to it.  And these are strictly for my photo business since none of them match anywhere in my house but how fun would this be around a little boy or little girls' room??!!  Got me thinking for sure!

Anyways, here they are!

Burlap & Scrap Wreath

I have been in a very crafty mood this week.  We'll see how long it continues!  The other day I ran across this tutorial on how to make a burlap wreath.  I instantly fell in love and had to make it.  So, off to Joann's I went to gather supplies.  Today I give you my burlap wreath!  I really like it - it makes me smile.  :)

Craft Projects for Baby

I have been working on some sewing projects this week for Levi and still have more up my sleeve!  I am really into the applique on shirts - so cute!  These are the two that I have gotten done so far.  I need to go to the craft store to get more supplies!  I found the pattern for the tie on this adorable blog: Trey & Lucy.  I got the picture for the whale somewhere but I honestly can't remember where!

I am excited about a few other craft projects but these I had to have commissioned. There was no way I could do these! One of my old middle/high school friends, Amanda, is expecting her first little girl in just a few weeks. She has been making (yes, making!) all of her cloth diapers. They are so cute that I just had to have her make me some too. :) I commissioned her to make two custom cloth diapers for me. I am so excited about these - they are so cute!

PS - She does sell these (in your choice of fabric). So, if you are interested, I'll put you in contact with her!

Sewing Projects

I made my first taggie blanket this evening.  It is very cute!  But I definitely learned a few things for next time.  :)

Package - filled with fabric!

So I am officially hooked on fabric right now. You can get all kinds of fabric in beautiful prints and colors. For my birthday, my mother-in-law, got me a gift certificate to Connecting Threads. They sell sewing things, books and their very own fabric. So I bought some stuff in order to make at least 2 quilts (I think!). The package arrived today and what fun! I think I might have a serious problem if I like receiving fabric in the mail so much. :)
