Circle Skirts

Ok ya'll! I am in love with THIS blog in general! I have made several of these skirts for my girls and many for my friends too. They are so easy and the possibilities are endless!! The pic with the girls were the first ones I made, followed by the Oklahoma State ones and OKC Thunder! So much fun for game days!




Water Bottle Tote

My girls are 4 and still want me to carry their water bottles around wherever we go. They load down my bag because they are so heavy and with twins, I need my hands free! I looked around and found this tutorial for some water bottle totes. They turned out great and I love that my girls wear them. They wear them cross-body usually and take them to church with them and many other places too!




Wild Kratt Vests



One of my friends reached out to me and asked me to make her son and a friend of his some form of a Wild Kratt vest. She was looking around and found this site. They were the easiest things to make! I actually zig-zagged around all my color squares and circles instead of just using an heat n bond. I figured little boys were going to be playing with these so I made them hopefully more durable. My girls liked them so much when I was making some that they asked for a couple. I ended up making some for them with pink shirts. So fun!!!  My friend that requested them made them all some Creature Power discs that they can Velcro on the circle.



Bike Baskets

My girls are always wanting to take some toy outside with them to play in the summer and I, honestly, don't really like them to. We have inside toys and we have outside toys. Whatever Mom, right? I looked around and finally found an easy bike basket tutorial. So, they have these on their bikes now and they love them! They work perfectly for what they want. Tutorial

Prayer Pockets

When my grandmother passed away, my Mom found a prayer pocket similar to these in her stuff. It was given to her from a very dear friend. What a great idea to keep near your Bible or in your purse to write down prayer requests, anyone or anything you'd like to pray for. It's truly giving it to God. Write it down and put it in the prayer pocket. I was in a group at church this session called Missional Moms. I decided this could part of our journey in our mission and so I replicated the one I had from my Meemaw and made several for all the women in our group.

Valentine Envelope



I saw something similar to these in a magazine and thought, I can make those! My plan is to use them as a countdown to Valentine's Day and put a note or surprise in them for the girls each day.  I made them to hang on our kitchen chairs.

TRY Change Travel Cases

My mom has really cool glasses and she can interchange the frames.  I made her a travel case (seen in an earlier post) and she took it into the optical shop and the owner has placed several orders from me! Here is a sample of his favorite picks.
