Hat Holder

This was my dad's Christmas present. It is a baseball cap holder. The hat goes in each "X." He loves hats, so I thought this would be a good way for him to store his hats. I think he liked it, but he is my dad and is supposed to love everything I make, right? :)

Christmas Bows

I went a little crazy at the craft store when I found this sparkly ribbon. I just loved it! Here are the Christmas bows I made.

Christmas Leggings

Well, I didn't have much luck at the dollar store with socks, but I did find these for some Christmas leggings! I am obsessed!

My sister-in-law Melanie directed me to some tutorials for how to make these. My favorite one is here. But I didn't cut the foot (the cuff) and re-sew it. I just turned it inside out then right side out...

Leggings

I am very excited for my new passion. Making leggings. I went through my socks and found several I was willing to part with and several still with tags, so here are my beginnings:

These were toe socks! At first, Kaitlyn was not thrilled with leggings, but now she loves them.

Next stop, dollar store for dollar socks!

More Bows!

Remember how I said I was done making bows? Well, I wasn't. My friend Natalie asked me to make some for her sister-in-law. Hurray! I love making bows. While I was at it, I made a new white one for McKenna.

Car Seat Covers

Here are two more car seat covers!

Cape

This is nothing spectacular, but I made it! So here it is. I made this cape for Kaitlyn to go with her Halloween costume. Simple, but she loves it. Children are so easy to please.

Dainty Bows

I have been continuing my crazy bow phase. I found some bows I had made for Kaitlyn when she was a baby that I never used much. I love them on McKenna! She has a smaller head, so they are cute on her. They are great for the dainty heads. So I had to make one in very color I could.

Here is a new version:


Here is the old version:

I made some more flowers

Here is the old version in a larger size of ribbon

I made a couple of these:

This was new. I wanted a dainty bow that could incorporate a lot of colors. So I braided all of these ribbons together. It looks cute on. I will have to get a picture of it on her.

A bunch of new colors:

A couple of the flower ribbons:

Sadly, there are more I want to make. I know, I am obsessed. I am going to move on to something new for now and come back. I think she has enough to get her through a month or so ;)

Flowers

I have been making some flowers recently for my girls. I am really liking putting buttons in the middle of them right now.

Here I made one set for each girl so they can both wear pigtails and match (once McKenna gets enough hair)

For this one, I did a bead in the middle instead of a button


All of them together. The orange-ish, white, and pink ones all just have normal middles, so I didn't think you needed to see them up close :)

New Blog

Lately, I have basically been packing. However, I have also spent time making fun activities to do with my kids. I decided to team up with a couple of friends to do a Children's Learning Activities blog. Check it out here:

Bracelets

Here are my most recent bracelets I have made for myself.

This is the tear drop bracelet that inspired the little girl flower bracelets. I love it because it has so many different colors.

This was my Fourth of July bracelet. It was like fireworks.

My red teardrops

My green

Bows

Here are some bows I have made recently.

This first is McKenna's three month photos bow.


Next is McKenna's Fourth of July bow.

Next are Kaitlyn's Fourth of July bows

And finally Kaitlyn's bows to match her yellow and orange shirt.

Baby Bracelets

I have been making jewelry again lately. Here are my recent baby bracelets:

This is for my niece Amy. I love these little things! I was making a tear drop bracelet for myself and thought, "These look like flowers" so I made some flower ones!

This is Kaitlyn's flower bracelet:


And I loved it so much I made her a Fourth of July one

This one is for my nieces Kayla and Chloe

Then next four are for some twin girls that my friend recently had:

The next two are for a friend of Brayden's:

The next two are pics of the same bracelet. This was McKenna's 3 month pictures bracelet

Another Car Seat Cover

You can see that I really do love these things. My friend Natalie just had a baby boy. It was harder to find cute boy fabric (you know, cute but respectable?). Here it is!

Instead of the bow at the handles I did a nice big button.
