Welcome Fall

I'm ready for Fall!!!!!  For months I have been seeing this "mesh ribbon" at AC Moore.  I have to admit....I was slightly intimidated to work with it.  However...it is awesome!  Very easy to work with and makes amazing wreaths.  This is the first one that I came up with.  I saw it on Etsy and it was selling for $50.  I thought to myself "I could totally do that!"  What do you think of my pumpkin?  It certainly will not be the last!

Kitchen Lover

I am in love with Amy Butler fabric!!  She has the best patterns and I could go crazy on fabric.com.  Well....maybe I did...ssshhh.  Anyway I had fun putting together this set of dish towels; apron; and oven mitt for my sister in law's birthday.

The oven mitt is a terrific invention!  It is all one piece and keeps your arms protected from splatters and is washable.  I followed the tutorial on this page to make it:  www.sew4home.com

I have to admit...I'm slightly obsessed with that website.  Do you think my boss will allow me to bring my sewing machine to work???

Taggie

Here is another one of my taggie blankets.  I made this with love for my new Godson!  I tried to use brown thread for his name but it kept jamming...urrrggg.  Anyway it is a special gift for my little guy...I'm honored to be his Godmother.  I love you Carlo....xoxoxoxox

Snakes from scraps

Now.... normally snakes are my WORST fear.  However they are a great way to use up your leftover scraps of fabric!  I made these for my girls and they love them!  Who would've thought?!  The great thing is they only take about 10 minutes to make.  Love that.

Mickey Birthday Bag

This was my second try with applique.  I sacrificed a new red T-Shirt to make Mickey's "pants."  It was an after thought but I think it came out super cute.  I made this for a little guy's 2nd birthday....can you guess what the theme was????

TuTu Tote

I'm always excited to receive an order for a tutu bag!  This one came out super cute with 3 layers of tulle and a pretty brown rose.  Every little girl that I know is getting one of these for Christmas!

Wedding Shower Gift

I've been wanting to give this one a try for a while now.  I finally had a chance to make cute kitchen towels!  I bought the towels and added adorable fabric ruffles to them.  Then I did my very first applique!  I used heat-n-bond to put the letter "C" on both towels and sewed them with a zig zag stitch. Next I made a coordinating apron and homemade sugar lemon scrub to complete the set.  This will be my gift for a bridal shower that I have this weekend.  I topped it all off with a homemade card!
