My projects

This first one is of my camera strap (so hard to get a shot of the strap w/the camera it's attached to!), a nursing cover (I thought the fabric was pretty funny), and a foam pad for Gabs to lay down on in our tiled family room.
This sock monkey quilt was a gift for a new baby, and I liked it so much I made one for me too (although it's sitting unfinished calling my name every night...)
I got a new ruffler foot for my sewing machine and I figured out how to use it! I made this doll blanket to see if I could get the hang of adding a ruffled border instead or regular binding and it worked!!
This was a table runner I made for Isa's class auction. Each class at their elementary school was in charge of a gift basket and each had a theme. Isa's class was "Mexican", so I found these fabrics pretty cheap (I'm SO not a fan of the southwest look) and made it for them. Bren's class was "chocolate", but I can't seem to remember if I did anything? hmmm...
Cupcake pincushions that were made at my friend's sewing party! I made the little one first and it was definitely a "rough draft", so I went home and made another one and it turned out a lot better.

My cousin Gina wanted me to make a carseat cover and I really hadn't seen/heard of this kind of thing. She found a picture for me to follow and I tried it. The first was my rough draft (sensing a theme here?? I could fill a closet w/them!) and the bottom picture is the one I made for her. Turned out pretty cute! Back to my monkey quilt :)

They look so beautiful! You are so talented.
I may have to buy some items from you for a few baby showers I have coming up. I so enjoy your blog.
The kids look happy and wonderful.
I hope you are all well.

I love my car seat cover, thanks! I also think that nursing cover is hilarious! If I nursed, I would so buy it from you. Who was the monkey blanket for? I'm totally jealous. :)

You have found such CUTE fabrics! Do you have an actual website where you sell these things? You should take them to craft fairs! They're beautiful! Grandmas like me would not be able to resist!
