Crayon Roll

Here are some photos of the Crayon Roll I made.  So fun, quick and easy! This one is going to be a birthday gift for a little boy but I've already starting thinking of who else might need one!?
I was thinking how nice it would be to have on hand when you go to restaurants or in the car too!

Lainey's Blanket

I finally finished Lainey's T-shirt/onesie blanket.  It started out easier than Kami's but it ended up being a lot harder to finish toward the end.  However, I am glad it's done!

Tote Bag

One of my sister's friends found a scrap of fabric and I made her a tote out of it.  I had a lot of hiccups on some of my very last stitches, but I think it turned out alright for the most part.

Keychains

I found a tutorial for these keychains and thought it would be a simple craft.  I was right! And they are so quick to make.  If you have any scraps lying around, you probably have enough to make these!

T-shirt/Onesie Baby Blanket

This is just one blanket I have done.  I still have to do one for my other daughter.  Everyone is making T-shirt quilts now and I thought this would be a great way to save some of my girls' special shirts instead of just having them hidden in a box somewhere and never seeing them.  T-shirt material is VERY unforgiving while sewing on the machine.  I had a really tough time so I'm not really looking forward to making the second one to say the least.  I stitched all pieces together first, then added interfacing and backing.  I chose not to do a bias tape edge since it would hide a lot of the cute designs on the shirts.  

Burp Cloths & Wipes Case

Another set of burp cloths and wipes case that I made for a baby gift for a little boy.

Updated Toddler Purse

This purse is a little different and updated from the previous Toddler Purse post.  I made this one for my 3 year old niece and I thought she'd need some way to close it.  I just sewed the tie to the outside of the finished purse and added buttons for embellishment and to also cover the stitches.  I also added a little Okie Girl tag for advertising!


Baby Gift-Burp Cloths & Wipes Case

I've made a couple of different sets of these to give as gifts.  One of my friends saw them and asked me to make her one to give as a gift at a baby shower so here it is!  These are so easy to make.  JoAnn's sells colored burp cloths which would be darling with a little fabric or embroidery!

Crib Pocket Organizers

I made these organizers for the girls' cribs.  Mostly it was to have something useful that would also cover up the rail where they chewed while teething.  They are working out really well and the girls are even putting their animals and toys in the pockets! It helps clean up their crib a little too.

Oklahoma Book

This is a book about Oklahoma that I made for the girls.  I like to have cloth books in the car because I can't really monitor them tearing or chewing on their other books at this age!

Car Organizer

I created this for my backseat in between the 2 girls' carseats. I was tired of everything on the floor! And those of you who know me know that I love being organized and everything having a place.
I searched several tutorials but didn't come across one that worked for me so I made it up. It also has a piece of fabric that you can slip the seat belt through so it doesn't fly off the seat! I just put several pockets in it and it's great because now the girls can get out what they want instead of me reaching back all the time.

Toddler Purses

Little purses I made for my twin girls...they love them!
They are so easy to make. After I made the first one, it only took me about 30 minutes to make the second. I glanced at a tutorial but then used my own "pattern" to make the finished product.

Felt Food

Ravioli I made for my girls to play with and "cook".
Orange slices
Eggs of course!

I made all of these from tutorials I found online. It will take a while but I will post the tutorials I used so they get some credit too!
