Finally something new

I have been absent from blogging forever... I was absent from crafting for awhile, but I am finally crafting away again! We expanded our house and I was busy with all the hoopla that created. Both of the kids' rooms were expanded in the process, and I have been working on putting D's room back together. Everything is still pink and brown- I am trying to use up crafting supplies that I have left over from our pink & brown wedding 5 years ago. Here's a couple of things I've been working on...

Painting this brown border. I thought it would go fast, but it is very, very slow. I didn't like it at first but it is growing on me- looks a bit like a string of beads...

Flower pillow- I still have a gazillion of these fake flowers from the wedding, pulled off of cherry blossom branches...Little apron for D while she plays in her kitchen- from fabric leftover from the window valences...

New dress- this time I actually used a pattern. Sewing goes a little faster when someone else is making up what to do!

I have a bunch of projects in the works- more to come soon!

Spring Dresses

Here's a couple of cover-all dresses I whipped up for D and a friend of mine. Still trying to use up that fabric!

Baby card

My brother and sister in law are having a baby soon and have done up the cutest gender neutral nursery in green and brown, so I had to make this card for the shower. I love this paper from The Container Store.

Felt House Finished

I finally finished the valentine felt house. It is cute, no? The roof lifts open to reveal a lined box to store all your treasures.

Superhero Cape

Here is the cape I made for I. I thought he was requesting a lighting bolt on it, so I appliqued the felt lightning bolt. When I was done he asked me where the lightning was. I pointed to the middle of the cape, "Right here, Bud." "No, Mommy! Where is the car?" He meant Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars. What can a mom do? Now my little girl wants one, too, so I'm trying to think of how to make a pretty one. Any suggestions?

I opened an etsy shop!

I finally got something together for an etsy shop. Right now it's embroidered onesies and t-shirts for kids. Hopefully I'll add some other goodies as I have time. Let me know what you think!

Little Felt Houses

I've had these ideas for felt houses that I have been kicking around awhile. I finally started a couple, but they are taking longer than I thought. My crafting attention span is very short. Here is the valentine house... maybe I can finish it by the 14th? More to come...
