A few years later...

I am back to write again! Little girl had a tea party with her friend and I made some shortbread cookies in the shape of hearts. I got the recipe from Joy of Baking They came out really cute and the girls really liked them. I might make them again for Valentines day!

Valentines Day Present

I had been working on making things out of felt for a while and started making little envelopes for Chloe to play with. She has a mailbox on one of her toys and loves putting things and taking things out of it. What a perfect gift for my little Valentine!

Christmas Crafts

Now that the gifts have been given I can share my few homemade Christmas gifts. My favorite was the Cupcakes. I took a pair of the fuzzy sock/slippers and rolled them in a spiral and tied them in place. Then took some scrapbook paper and wrapped it around to make the cupcake liner. Decorated it with a little ribbon and tossed them into a bag!

The ornaments were just pre painted wood cut outs and I added some chunky glitter and decoupaged a picture on it. The others came out really well but I gave them away before I took pictures!

Cupcake Shirt

Yet another one for the collection. I must say I am good with an iron :P

Shirts

I was bored one afternoon and made some quick shirts using sponge stamps and some fabric paint. Not too bad for a 15 min deal. I'm sure with some practice they would come out quite nice!

Baby Barrettes

Last month I made a ton of cute hair barrettes for baby girl. I had a lot of fun! I think my favorites are the lady bug, and the flowers. They look so cute in her hair.. or what little hair she has :) I pretty much used a lot of things I had laying around and bought a few extras. I went to a scrapbook store where I could buy ribbon by the inch to cut cost since I am only making them for myself right now. The flowers were from scrapbook supplies and some were those adhesive ribbons that you can just peel and stick. No hot glue gun required!

Finished Items!!

Hooray! Finally some completed projects. I took a few pics with the bad camera though :(
Here is the completed blue dress, it is too big for her to wear now but hopefully next spring or summer will fit. Currently her big bear is wearing it!





I also finished her Owl Jumper.
