Fun Fabric Flowers

So fun...and so addicting...


Here's a great tutorial for these quick and easy "rolled" fabric flowers...




I sewed these with needle and thread, and probably will never be able to recreate them, but I thought they turned out cute too...

Baby Shower Gifts

I have been getting a few hand made baby gifts together for an up coming baby shower. Making baby stuff is so fun!!  First of all, I am in love with this super-easy and super-soft flannel baby blanket!  My mom posted a great tutorial on how to make it, and I pretty much followed exactly.


Next, I made a cute covered diaper wipe case.


And of course, some matching burp cloths...


Last but not least, and definitely my favorite, a sweet little "ribbon security blanket"...



All together...

Framed Initial

Here's my latest Goodwill make over.  I found this awful picture buried beneath junk at Goodwill.

Yes, that's right...I dig through junk at Goodwill.

Only because I find treasures like this...I'm in love with the oval frame! It was originally a gold plastic hideous flaky mess.  I'm so mad at myself for not taking a "before" photo.  I took pictures of everything except this.

Then, I just flipped the backing over, covered it in fabric (I chose one that coordinated with the wreath on my front door) and then glued a glittery W on the front (with a zebra ribbon and jewels, of course!).

and here it is with the matching wreath...
