Project Latest

I am still enjoying trying to be a bit more crafty/domestic. Lets be honest, I think that it is a built in/born with talent to just come up with ideas and projects on your own. Maybe with time and practice I will get better at this but for now I am happy with the step by step tutorials on someone else's idea. Someday, maybe someday I will come up with my own stuff, but here you are with my latest....

I got this crayon roll-up idea from a friends blog(thanks KW!) And I think it is such a fun and cute simple sewing project. So fun and cute that I have already made(and given away) 5 of them! Just put it with a couple coloring books and there you go, an easy gift idea. It doesn't take up much room in the diaper bag and is nice to always have on hand.

For mothers day I made my mom some curtains for her kitchen. She picked out and delivered the fabric to me along with the old ones that used to be there, and I just used the old ones as basically a pattern to follow. It was actually a simple gift this year. I didn't have to go to a store and pick out something that she doesn't need or will not use. Feels good knowing my mom will get to enjoy my gift.
Since we had extra fabric I sewed together a quick center piece mat for her as well.

My good friend and cousin E called me up and suggested that we should make birthday shirts for our kids. I was hesitant at first and although pretty amateur, I think they turned out pretty cute. And it helps that we have stinkin cute subjects to put them on!

I have some more stuff in the works so more to come :)
