Burp Cloth Gift Set

I made this burp cloth gift set for a special friend's new baby girl.  Actually, it's one of my sister's good friends and she asked me to make it for her to give.  That was fun and I even changed the way I made them a little and they turned out so much better than others I have made! I love the combination of fabric too.

More Crayon Rolls

I am on a Crayon roll frenzy right now! I love making them and they seriously take less than 30 minutes each.  I made a couple to surprise my girls with on our holiday trip home, a couple for our relative's boys for Christmas and more for other friends too.  So fun and fabric choices are endless!



Eyeglass Frame Roll

 I adapted my crayon rolls to make a roll for my mom's interchangeable eyeglass frames.  I didn't have the frames on hand, only measurements so I hope it works out.  I am going to make one for a friend of hers too.
The comb as just to show where the pockets are and the size too.

These are the ones I made for my sister and my mom's friend.

Tote Bag & Keychain

I made this tote bag and keychain for a raffle prize at my church for our Women's group.  I actually loved the way it turned out.  I have to say it's almost perfect and I think it's because it was a no pressure deal.  No one knew I was making it.  If it turned out ok I would give it away.  It's when someone asks me to do something that I think I feel more pressure for there to be no mess ups or glitches! It has yet to be raffled so I'm anxiously awaiting to see who gets it and what they think!

and More Reusable Bags!

My sister asked me to make some snack bags for my niece's gymnastics team.  They break for a snack in their session so she thought it'd be fun for them to use.  I had her pick out all the fabric and supplies, she chose according their colors.  They are really fun.  I had some disappointing run ins with the fabric and sewing machine at times but they still turned out cute!

5 Loaves and 2 Fish

My mom recently asked me if I'd Google a tutorial on making loaves and fish so she could have something tangible when telling the Bible story to the young children in her Sunday School class.  I looked and couldn't find anything and then thought I could just easily make them myself!  After I finished them my husband asked me if they were potatoes.  Well, I guess they do look a little like potatoes.  I planned to add a little embellishment across the top or something like a loaf of sourdough bread does, but figured I'd let my also crafty mom do that if she feels like they need more.  I didn't want to make them worse!

More Reusable Bags

This is the lot of reusable bags that I made and sent to my sister and her 2 girls.  Her girls are in school and thought they would benefit from using some very cute and eco-friendly snack bags.
