What I've been Up To......

Wow I can't believe I've been absent for so long!  I have been kind of busy and have neglected posting a bit...  But I am back :0 )  Here is a little peek at what I have been up to this month.

 Payton turned 1 years old, we had a fun party.

I made his Winnie the Pooh cake, 

it turned out pretty good but I had a rough start with the outlining.

A recent trip to the flea market inspired this tricky treats Halloween apron.  I based the pattern of a vintage find, enlarged the pocket and added a second one for maximum candy storage capacity.  This would be a great apron to wear on Halloween night, it will keep you from running back and forth to the candy bowl.

I just completed this Strawberry Fields travel/makeup tote.  The idea was inspired from a recent book gift from my husband.  Simply Sublime Bags, 30 No-Sew, Low-Sew Projects.  I highly recommend this book, the instructions were supper easy to follow.  This bag sold with a few days of posting on Etsy.  I will be doing another strawberry bag soon and other patterns soon.  

A Busy Week

Well I have had a busy crafting week, it's been great getting back into the swing of things again.  And my brain is working again on some fun new ideas like the one I had this morning for this "Tweet" pillow.  I managed to concept and complete it all in one day.  I will take some official pictures in the morning when the light is better so I can post on Etsy.

I finally finished my Roosters apron, and it is officially posted on Etsy as of this evening.  I cut this fabric out to start months ago and for some reason just couldn't get it started.  Now I am sorry I waited so long look how cute it turned out!  I am really happy with it :)

I also did some work on my baby wash cloth and burp cloths.  I combined the wash cloth and burp cloth sets into baby bundles.  You can now get a set of 2 wash and 2 burp cloths for $20 which includes new packaging and gift tag.  All you have to do is write on the card and this gift is ready to give!  There are now 2 new sets that were posted just this week!

  

I have about 3 more baby bundles cut and ready to be sewn and posted on Etsy.  I am hoping to get them done this weekend.  Hopefully I will have some more time to come up with so off the cuff ideas like the "Tweet" pillow as well.
