Flower Onesie

My sister Theresa made a New Year's resolution to post one new item to Etsy each week. I decided that sounded like a worthy goal, but mine might end up more like "an average of one a week".

But, here is my first one of the year...

I bought these newborn onesies and appliqued this red flannel flower on it and put a button in the middle. I also attached a hand-crocheted (by Amy, my sister) flower to the back. Also with a button in the middle.

I think it turned out pretty cute! Thanks for the great idea Sonja!

Sara's Bags

I was commissioned to make a knitting bag for my friend Sara, so I decided to do a bit of experimenting with it.

Well, it didn't work out the way I had hoped so I decided to keep it for myself. I put handles on it today so it will be much more useful. :o)

I love the pocket fabric!

the big pleated pockets inside seemed like a good idea at the time

Since the first attempt was a reject, Sara bought some fabric she liked so I could try again. This time I went simple and it turned out great! It's nice and big for those beautiful afghans she crochets!

I hope you like it Sara! It's ready whenever you are!

Flower Princess

I just finished the flower princess costume for my niece's Christmas present. I made the skirt out of an old duvet cover.

It turned out pretty cute! I hope she likes it. It kinda makes we wish we had a girl...

Skirt Bag

My friend Sally commissioned me to make a bag for her daughter for Christmas. For the fabric, she gave me an old skirt of her daughter's that she no longer wore.

I cut it up and made a really cute messenger bag out of it. I even took some of the fringe off the bottom of the skirt to put on the flap of the bag. I hope she likes it!

Chris thought it was so nice that he thinks I should offer to make custom bags out of old clothes for people for my Right Back At Ya store. Great idea honey! I think it will have to wait until after Christmas though. :o)

I Did It Again

I just opened another Etsy store! Maybe I'm crazy! But the nice thing about Etsy is I can do it at my own pace (unlike a bazaar). You can check out my link on the side bar.

Girls' Nite- Stampin'

Tonight was our Girls' Nite Out at church. We did stamping. I love to do it and wish I had time to do it more often. I forgot to take pictures - AGAIN! I wish I had remembered, because we all had such a fun time and made lots of cards. Especially all the little girls. But I do have pictures of the cards I made. (not the same, but it will have to do)

this one is my favorite

It's A Bazaar World

I have spent the last week frantically sewing and trying to get ready for the bazaar I did yesterday with some friends of mine from Friday School.

I was so crazy busy (and tired) that I didn't take any pictures. :o( But I did take a few of some of the things I made. I will try to post more later.

If I do this again next year, I am going to start sewing now!
