More Appliques

I decided I'd better get busy creating or poor baby Ollie won't have much to wear. Soooo, the kids and I spent Sunday afternoon listening to A Wrinkle in Time and I got busy stitching. :) Both fabrics are from pants of mine that I've cut off to shorts. I have 3 more Onesies in the bag and this is pretty addicting so I'm sure they'll end up with something brilliant on them. See Ab, boys are fun to create for too!

I tried to get a close up shot so you could see the cute designs on the boots.

Not a very good picture. Meet Ray. He's a hip hippo. Here are the final 3. Final as in, as of right now I'm officially out of onesies.
Mr Crabs

Beep Beep! As I was sewing these cars on, Delia kept saying "cute elephants Mommy!" Once the wheels were added they looked more like what I intended. She gave me a new idea though! Elephants shall be making their appearance soon.

The turtles didn't turn out as cute on the shirt as they did on paper. My stitching is...well...you can see. Anyway, If you can't tell, the first turtle is skating. I almost added an umbrella in his hand but I got lazy.

The End.

My Second Attempt

Ugh! I posted this on my family blog on accident!

Here it goes again!

After making the first diaper, I was a little disappointed with the results and wasn't too excited to keep going. Then as I poked around the web a little more I found the error of my ways and I'm so glad I did because it all makes so much more sense now! I sewed the PUL on backwards! HAHA! I'm a freak. Duh, you should not be able to see the shiny sticky side! I was thinking that the baby's legs would get stuck to that diaper and I wasn't impressed. This way is so much more cozy! Plus I like the tweaked pattern better. Next time I plan on using thicker elastic around the legs making it a little more bunchy.I dig the leak guard in the front and I also like the tabs. You just close them up in the back before washing, so as to protect them. :) I haven't ordered snaps yet but so far I'm liking the Velcro. Maybe for the larger diapers we'll try the snaps.

I didn't have a pattern and there are a few things I would do different next time but am rather pleased with the outcome anyway. As for how it will fit my Ollies bottom...only time will tell!

Thumb Friends

We've been trying to get Del to stop sucking her thumb at night. I've made her thumb guards that wrap around her wrist and she liked them for awhile but when I saw these I couldn't resist! She was so excited and kept asking me to make her thumb friends. I didn't have any gloves to chop up but then I remembered, I'm a HOOKER! Hello! They didn't turn out as cute as AMH's but Del is happy. :)

I'm in LOVE

So, I haven't learned how to add videos to a blog so hopefully this works...Anyway, this Chick is super amazing! I'm in love with the felting process, every stinkin way to felt is awesome! Check out how cute these are! She also has some cute mary janes I want to attempt in her etsy shop. Darling.

New life

Kyra had a sleepover a couple of nights ago and the girls wanted to paint t-shirts. So I bought a couple of cheap white shirts for them to decorate. What I didn't know was that her friend had a silk screen kit! They made me this totally awesome shirt! The craziest part is that I didn't have to do anything! No supervision at all. My baby is so grown up. *tear.

I only have one regret and that is, the shirt I gave them to print on is pretty old and a little tired. I should have given them a new shirt so I could love it longer.

And next we have a hole :(

I thought about patching it with fabric flowers or something but it was just in a weird place (on the back of my arm between my elbow and shoulder) so I chopped off the arms instead.

Before, in all it's loveliness.

After. (still lovely but I do miss the 3/4 sleeves) Still love the shirt though. I'm pretty sure it's the only yellow I own. Sad huh? I love yellow. BUT, now I can wear it again and make some earings to match! :)

More dangles and stuff.

I couldn't find earing hooks in this copper color SOOoOOoo I made my own hooks with this pair above and the pair below. Yay!My first bracelet... well, out of wire.

An awesome sneak peak of what's coming next! So excited!
