For the Young Flesh Eaters!

Be glad that they don't have teeth!
I made it for a friend's nursery. She crazy and fun like that.

New addition to my craft corner

Meet my newest addition to my craft corner (I have to share a room with the hubby). :)


This little guy makes me happy.



My sewing machine cover needed an update. So I simply added this fun felt guy.

Now it makes me want to clean up the rest of my corner. Oh boy that's a chore! :)

5 minute project!

I whipped up a really simple and easy envelop pillowcase.


I've had this fabric for the sole purpose of making it into pillowcases for my couch.


I made the pillow a loooong time ago, and just found it this morning, and got super excited because I could make my pillowcase.


These are my new favorite case to make. SOOO easy!

Next I want to make a rolled pillow, where it's tied off at the ends.

Last week I made a pillowcase to give to my friend for her wedding.
When I drew up the sampler design, I realize that I LOVE making my own designs, they are a lot of fun.


I learned a lot from this project. My embroidery was WAY too small. But I learn from my mistakes. :) The next that I make (for my sister-in-law) it will be bolder and the names will be bigger.

A side note:
I had this pillow for a week that it was killing me not to post it. I didn't want my friend to stumble upon it before hand.

A quick wedding gift

I whipped up a last minute wedding sampler for my cousin's wedding gift. I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it to the wedding.

The only thing that I didn't like (and didn't have the time to fix) is the date. It's April 30th 2011. Different color next time.
But I do learn from my mistakes.

I really want to take better photos too, I just can't do it. My hubby is pretty good, but not me. :(

I have been busy

I have a Twitter now.

I've been posting WIPs and random craftiness. I have been a little too busy to make full blown posts on some of my stuff, and well most of them are gifts so I can't post just yet. I have to wait until this weekend before I can.

Love takes flight...at night!

My heart with bat wings has become a reality!
Yay! This plushie is roughly 29x12.
He really took no time at all to put together.


It's made out of fleece. I used some wire to hold the wings up and out.


I'm VERY happy with how the wings turned out. I'm proud of this guy!

Oh My! I think I Just Quilted Something!

It's not a quilt, but it's like a made a few tiny quilts, well in a way I did...


I got this idea from one of the free leaflets that you get at a craft store. I thought it was prefect for my kitchen theme.
I have always loved the raw edge look, that shabby chic look.


They are all made from my fabric stash, frankly it was starting to become quite the monster and had to be dealt with.


It is the first time that the applique was completely machine sewn! It was tricky for me but I did it!! Yay!


This was pretty easy. It took no time at all. I did all the cutting and placing in one evening. Then the next evening I sewed it all up!

I think my Granny will be very proud that I made something quilted.
