Quilt Festival Spring 2009

Although not my favorite quilt of ALL time - this quilt is dearly loved in our house!!

Last year, my husband's work flew him to Japan for 3 months...and I needed a project! So, I decided to make a quilt for my son who was 2 and just moving into a big-boy bed...
This is what I came up with...I get asked all the time about the size of the quilt...and I don't have the exact measurements...but it fits his bed perfectly...without hanging over on any side. This way, he makes his bed more often!

I like this quilt because it was fun to make, and even more fun to watch my son enjoy it...

Notebooks :)

Look how crafty I can be when my mom is around...

Thanks mom!!!

Baby Quilt

I am now back into the swing of things. I have been sewing like mad lately to get a bunch of quilts done before my mom gets here (she's my quilt quilter!).

This is one that I did for my good friend who just had a beautiful baby girl...I don't usually take pictures of the backs of my quilts... but my friend who helped me take pictures MADE me...because it had something fun on the back :) Thanks Kellee...

Felt Hair Clips

My awesomely creative cousin sent me a little link on how to make cute Felt Hair Accessories :)
If you want to see the tutorial, just go here.
I was so excited because my Granni had just given me a BOX of tons of different colors of felt and I always have buttons around. Now I had something to do with all of them! So, I started cutting and sewing. I let my daughter pick out the two colors and I let my son pick out the button to go with it! This is my very first finished Felt Hair Clip! And, the best part is I can make them as big or as small as I want. I actually sewed a bobby pin right onto the back of the felt...now I just need to find a place with smaller bobby pins for her tiny head :) I can't WAIT to make more and more and more!!!

Thanks Erin!!

A New Dress

I made a new dress for my princess yesterday...

Now I just need to figure out how to fix this puka in the back!!!

Sneak Peek.....Halloween

I have been working on my kiddos Halloween costumes. I know it's early...but I'd rather get them done early than have to stress about it the day of!
Here is a sneaky look at my daughter's costume. She's 1, so it's hard to get a decent picture of it anyway...but I thought this was cute!!More to come as it's done...

Another Cute Bag

Had to do a girlie one, too!!
