Pinterest sure has come in handy! I've found a lot of ideas of things I never knew I always wanted to make! Like this crayon roll up. Actually, I think I found this well before Pinterest, but having it on a board that I check frequently, reminded me that I wanted to make it. I used this tutorial, and I made it in about an hour. I love the way it turned out, and the picture does not do the fabric justice, at all.
Yet another Pinterest inspiration. I didn't look at a tutorial for this, but I used a picture as my inspiration and made my own. I made tags with everyone in the family's name on them. The person whose birthday is next hangs in the front, that way it's easy to remember all the birthdays. I made one for my mother and my mother-in-law.
It has been a long time since I've made any earrings, and I was seriously missing it. So, I made a goal to make 4 earrings in 40 minutes (or something like that), and I ended up with 5 earrings in 55 minutes. I honestly don't need another pair of earrings. I have well over 100 pairs, but I just needed to make some. I really miss playing with my beads.
Another great Pinterest find. This is one of the very first things I pinned. I don't have a little girl yet, I hope to someday, but I just loved this dress. Come to find out that my sister-in-law is going to be having a baby girl this summer. I jumped at the chance to make this dress. I even made it reversible by using snaps instead of buttons. I am absolutely in love with this, and cannot wait to be able to make one (or 10) for my own little girl someday.
It would seem that I spend all my time on Pinterest these days...hmmm... But, I saw this idea, and it was less than an hour before I decided I needed to make this. And, less an hour later, I had a fabulous new shrug! Can't beat that!! Now I am on the lookout for any other shirts that I don't wear that I can convert.
Ah, the ever popular burp cloths. I loved the fabrics on these, and I was so excited to be able to use some ric rac as an accent. They matched some super cute blankets I made with a friend, but I didn't get a shot of the blankets before we gave them to the recipient.
And that same cute dress pattern from above, but for another friend. I forgot to take a picture of the other side of the dress. But you can see the fabric peeking out. What I am most excited about is the fact that I was able to use some of my heat transfer vinyl AND create my own accent design for the dress. It turned out perfectly, I only hope it holds up to the washings and such... It's supposed to, but we'll see...
I think that is everything for now. I am finally getting into a groove where I'm able to fit in some crafting along side taking care of the cutest little monster there is. And he loves to help whenever he can, so that's an added bonus (or something)!
