Wet Bag

I sometimes have a pile of wash cloths and dish towels in the kitchen that I randomly forget to take upstairs to the laundry room, and why would I make a special trip up there just to do that? :)
So...enter the kitchen wet bag! Or, just a wet bag if you don't want it in the kitchen.  When I made it I hadn't attached a strap but wanted it to hang somewhere since I don't need anything else on the counter! So that was added later.  I sewed it on the bag and then used velcro on the front so I could hang it on a drawer handle.  I already have one person who would like one for swimsuits this summer! A great idea.  I also think they'd be handy in a diaper bag for wet or soiled clothes, no more using plastic bags! Go green!

Tag Blanket

I decided I needed another option for baby gifts so I started making tag blankets.  So easy and it's fun to use such a variety of ribbon and colors!  I have a lot of friends having babies right now and these are so soft and sweet.

Bed Buddy

Again, from my "One Yard Wonders", a Bed Buddy! My mom saw this in the book and said she'd like to have one so I made it for her birthday coming up.  I think it turned out pretty cute and it was fairly easy to make!

Business Card Holder

I found a tutorial for a business card holder and it was so easy!  It can be used for so much more than that. Gift cards, credit cards, etc.  I showed it to my family over the holidays and my aunt pulled out one from Vera Bradley-it was made just the same! The only difference was the name!


Burp Cloth Set

My cousin had her first baby and ordered some burp cloths for me.  She ended up ordering 12 so that she could give some as gifts herself! It was awesome and I loved making so many different ones!

Car Trash Bag

I got an awesome book for Christmas called "One Yard Wonders".  I love it! This is one thing from the book.  Pretty simple to make.  I actually added nylon for the lining so it'd be easier to clean.  I made this one for my mom.  It's the first so there are kinks that I will need to resolve as I make more.  This will go perfectly in her Escape and keep it so clean!

Girl Baby Gift

I got another order for a baby gift for a girl.  So many people have loved this fabric! I don't know what I'll do when JoAnn's discontinues it...
