Being Inspired!

The great look of the fall is so much fun! My favorite things I now see on clothing as well as jewelry. It's the mix of a modern look with a vintage flare! Lots and lots of lace, pearls and mixing chains! I just saw today at Old Navy that they had tank tops with ruffled lace and ribbon down the front of the shirts which brings me back to my point, mixed fashion is great!

Plus mine are really handmade...I love how that's always added to the description, but yet there are probably thousands available.

What I have been up to Lately!

Roses are red... you know the saying! Well, I am working on a special project for myself, which I never do, so I am needing to make about 20 of these beautiful roses in two shades of red that I will be adding to a black scarf. I can't wait to see how they turn out. After I am finish maybe I will write something up so everyone else can make themselves one for the winter season...

I love poppies, I now will have poppy headbands at my two shows (look for details soon on the shows!) in November as well as poppy earrings, poppy necklaces, poppy phone charms, poppy hair clips and whatever else I can come up with that is poppy!

Happy Halloween, look at these cute little witches legs coming out of this fun pillowcase dress I made for one of my dear friend's daughter. It was so easy and fun, since I only have a boy and will only have boys is always fun to do some girly stuff, if you need anything just stop by the shop and make a request, I am always looking for new things to create!

Here is that sweet princess and her beautiful halloween dress! What a smile!

Anyone want to eat scary dirt! We went to our first halloween party of the year and I made some yummy dirt pudding! It's so easy to make and kids love the idea of eating all kinds of weird stuff!

Recycled Flower Pin

Handmade Recycled Flower Pins! Find some cute sweaters you don't wear anymore and start cutting them up into squares to have on hand. For an up coming craft show, I wanted to create some cute winter pins. Here a simple way to create them in less than 30 minutes!




Pick color choices for your pins, I pick some great colors for winter that will look great on any jacket or top!

Cut circles is to several different sizes so they will layer on top of each other. I use only 3 or 4 depending on the fabric thickness, otherwise your flower will be really large and sticking out too much on your jacket.

Here is the flower layered on top of each other.

Next pick a cute button to hand sew on top of the flower and through all the layers which will hold your pin together.

Next you will need a piece of felt, your color choice, I picked green so it would look like a leaf from the back. You will need a pin also that you can find at most every craft store.

I cut my felt to a round shape or you can make a leaf shape. Next cut to little slits into the felt and feed your pin through it. Close the pin so you won't have to worry about it fall out before gluing it.

Everyone loves Tacky glue and you know it will hold about anything together. So Add the glue to the back part of the green felt and pin.

I lay my pin closer to the top of my flower so it won't fall forward when I wear it on my jacket. Let it dry over night so it will be completely dry to wear!

Pick your favorite flower pin to wear and you got a really cute new accessory that will add fun to any winter wear!

Baby's love toys

I found a blog a couple of weeks ago showing you how to make cute tag toys for your baby... I gave it a try and was able to make three cute tag toys that make fun sounds for baby "e". Now if I can rememeber where I found it so others can make it too! Well I will come back and list it later...presenting tag square toy!

Robot birthday Bash

To Celebrate my son's 4th birthday, We did it in Robot Style!

The food displayed with cute name tags.

I had a handpainted robot banner to take cute pictures.

( Later I plan on using each guest picture to make my thank you cards with plus I think mom/dads will like a new cute pic of there child)

I made this really cute banner of my son over the years to display across the counter so people to see how he has changed over the years!


Made recycled robots out of tin cans, painted bolts and nuts. Hot glues them together for a very cute silverware holder for the party!

Had a train come, my son loves trains and has had two Thomas the train parties, so it was a nice change to have a different theme, but just for his love we had a train as well. It was a big hit and all the kiddos got to ride atleast once around the yard before the conductor got over heated and had to go home!

Well my cake was really plain and not very creative, but I had over 50 people coming and who had time to bake that many cupcakes when you can get tranformer cupcakes from SAMs 30 of them for 13.00 bucks you can't beat that deal. Plus I wanted to spend more time coming up with cute crafty ideas than baking all day!

Well lets hope next year he changes the theme again, it was really fun searching for ideas for the party, there are so many people that are very creative and I loved search for new ideas as much as making them.

I say go cheap and have fun, no since spending a ton of money on one day when there are so many great inexpensive ideas out there waiting for you to use them in your next bash...

I will be updating on all the new things I have made lately for baby "e"...two hootie hiders one for winter and one for spring, cute cloth toys, burp clothes, changing pad cover, hot sling, baby holder and some great shots of the baby's room as decoration comes along...theme woodscape. color theme: tan, white, browns, and red

LoVe ya,

Carseat Cover

I have been working really hard lately getting ready for baby #2 to come into this world, making burp clothes, a changing pad cover, diaper holder, hootie hider and much more... I really wanted a new carseat cover so I began to look around etsy and discovered they are very expensive. Why, its just a cover, so I decided to take up the challenge myself and make one for my sweet new boy. Poor Ethan he only started getting fun stuff about 9 months after he was born, for one I was not in the mood to create and for two I did not even own a sewing machine until he was that age, praise God for my wonderful mother-in-law.

Now back to the cover, I began to take apart the old cover to use for a pattern as well as the batting, it was a long night in front of the TV with my seam ripper and the cover. When that was all finished I then had to cut all the pieces and start putting it all back together, note to self always take a before picture so you know how thing work, I am a very visual person but with a pregancy brain, you tend to forget something. I did only have to redo one part but the rest was all done correctly....and now the finished project!
