A few crafty projects I've been working on....

Hello everyone! It's a rainy gloomy saturday morning here. I just thought I'd pop in for a moment to show you some of my latest projects.

I am currently working on a total of 5 hooded bath towels and here is the first one. I cut the little flowers out of some fabric and then adhered them to Steam-a-Seam. I cut the little leaves with my cricut and put it on Steam a Seam also. Then I found this cute ribbon for the stems and put it on Steam a Seam (Love that stuff!). After it was all ironed on, my mom carefully stitched around each flower to make sure they wouldn't go anywhere. 

I've also been making some more glass pendants to sell in my craftbooth. Here are some examples of the ones I've done.

I also made this jewelry set. It was much easier than it looks! I love this one. I think it is quite possibly my favorite so far!

My First Pillowcase Dress

Ok , so I just had to show off! This is the first sewing project that I have ever done where I wasn't afraid to show off the results. I am NOT a sewing person. I am dying to learn all there is not know though. My mother is good at it and my grandmother was fabulous, but I just never learned how. So what better time than the present? I have been seeing these adorable dresses everywhere lately and I decided that they looked simple enough for me. I know what you're thinking....wait a minute, You don't even have a little girl! I know I know! I'm hoping that I will someday, but in the meantime who says I can't make fab clothes for someone else's precious little one. So this first one is for my son's little "girlfriend", Lilly. I'm sure her mom will love it. In the photo the dress appears to be red and white, but it is acutally a reddish pink color. When you hold it up against red, it looks pink and vice versa. Well if you're wondering how I made this, I found this amazing tutorial online, complete with step by step pics of how to do it. So easy to follow! Go here to see.
