Boppy Cover

I didn't make this up - I used a Simplicity pattern - but I am VERY pleased with how it turned out. Since we are expecting a new baby, I figured it's about time that I put a cover on the Boppy.

Super Saturday

Super Saturday was this past weekend, and here are my two projects:
The countdown was a little stressful, simply because they had so many super cute papers to choose from, and I could only pick 12. I am really, really excited with how it turned out. If you have looked at previous posts, you know that I am not super-skilled at Modge Podge, but this, I must say, is Mary Poppins - practically perfect in every way!

And I have James to thank for the great suggestion for making the Family blocks orange (our favorite color) - you can't really tell from the picture, but the blocks are burnt orange and the vinyl is a creamy tan.

Thanks to Sarah, Lacey, and Tessa for great ideas and helping us with all of the projects!

Sewing with Yoyos

Here is the doll blanket I made for my daughter's birthday. I got the idea from a friend of a friend. It turned out great, especially considering I have never quilted a blanket before.

Felt Sack Lunch

Guess what I did today - if you read the title, you already know...a delicious (looking) sack lunch! It consists of a sack, a bologna sandwich in a vinyl baggy, a hoho, and a bag of potato chips.

Here's the sandwich with a little more detail:

Ya Da Da Dah!!

Announcing the completion of my big, secret project. I finally finished it on Tuesday afternoon, and one finger is still nursing a little sore spot from all the fabric tying. Behold the Happy Birthday banner. I took a few pics during the process, so if you're interested in a little more detail or a rough tutorial, let me know.

I am excited to use it next month - everyone's birthday is within 7 days of each other, so it will be up ALL WEEK LONG!

I didn't string it up too well, since it was just for a quick pic...stop by our house next month during b-day week for a better view.

New craft coming....

So I have been working on something new....I got the idea from several different blogs, and have dared to branch out with my own twist. I must say that it's coming along nicely and is as good as I had hoped - let's just hope it keeps up, shall we?

More soon...

I've been busy!

Last night and this afternoon, I have been working on a few sewing projects:

Grocery Bag Holder - tutorial from Make It & Love It


And another wipes container - this one's for my SIL Kristine:

And finally, a new purse, which only took ONE HOUR!! Woot! It's from Martha Stewart, and is made from a pillowcase:
