Fabric Wreath

I'm not quite sure why in the world I started this, but I needed something to replace the Fall  decor that was still hanging on my door. My cute girlfriends came over on Saturday night do have a girls night/craft night away from hubby's and kids. Cute friend T had this fabric she was using for our necklaces (craft post coming soon) and I decided to use her scraps. What a good friend. She ended up giving me all the fabric when she was done and even came by the next day to give me more so I could finish it. Here is the end result. Now Im not a big wreath fan at all but for some reason this made me wanna make one for every holiday. The cost of this gem? $1. Yes, a wreath from the good ol' dollar store and fabric from my buddy. Couldn't get any better than that but free...


A lighter and closer look. If you dont like it, well I do! To each his own =)

Car Seat Canopy

Yes! Finally a post and it's something I did! If only I had known these existed with my two other kids, or I guess for all I know they didn't exist. A car seat canopy! Oh you are the answer to my car seat problems.! Trying to keep that blanket on there is such a hassle and when you don't have something there it somehow gives people (random ones at the store mostly) the opportunity to come touch your new little all over! Oh the terror in my eyes. "I hope you washed your hands!" These are the ones that I made and they aren't as fancy as some you may have seen BUT it serves it's purpose right?

Rag Quilt and Burp Rags

I haven't posted much lately due to the fact that I find myself completely busy with the 2 kids and preparing for this new baby of ours! I've made a few things for the little one to keep myself busy which has totally helped keep me sane as well ( as much as a pregnant girl can be that is!)

Now I already knew how to make rag blankets, but here is a tutorial I found for you just in case you need it!

(I hurried and googled it and this is the best one I've found and makes it soo simple for you. P.S. those spring scissors they're talking about..trust me. They make the job much easier!)

How grateful am I that rag quilts are pretty much one of the most forgiving blankets to make!! I did make a few mistakes here and there, but good thing you'd never know if I hadn't of told you! I made the burp rag bigger than most just because my other baby boy was a puke fest so most likely this one will be too. (Thank you to my husbands genes)

T-Shirt Skirt

Remember how I featured my friends blog and she made the t shirt skirt? Well, I decided to make one finally. Good for the first time, but I need some serious practice! Please dont look too close! Loving my model though! She insisted on wearing her swim suit and did her own hair....
