Been a long time :(

Sorry it has been so long since my last post.  Life has thrown me some challenges and I've put crafting and blogging on hold.  I hope to pick back up sometime in the near future.

Baby Gift Ideas

So I want and need to make some baby gifts for a friend and family member coming up soon!! 
I made my nephew a clothing and blanket set when he was born and it was fun, so wanted to continue for others.  Here is a pic. of the set I made him:

There are so many cute ideas it is hard to pick what to do.  After doing some searches on the internet, I've narrowed it down to these links:
Baby Shoes

Felt Baby Shoes

Felt Applique Tee

Baby Girl Roundup (Tons of Craft Ideas Here)

10 Minute Onesie Dress

Cloth Shoes

Baby and Kid Tutes

Nursery Crafts

When I finish my gifts I'll post some pics!

Transform Tuesday ~ Tee Transformations

There are loads of projects and how to instructions here:


Check out these Easter Eggs!

Here are some cute St. Patty's Day crafts too!


I'm so excited to share with you an awesome website full of vintage images!!  It is called  The Graphics Fairy. There were 3 Easter ones that were so appropriate for the season, so I thought I'd post!  Just print out the clip art and decoupage away on an item of your choice!!



Easter Cards
2 Chicks
Easter Basket with Eggs

Super Book Sunday ~ Sew U

These books are awesome!  If you want instruction and patterns all in one, these are the books.  There are three different books that include: making your a wardrobe, sewing dresses, and sewing with knits.  The instructions are easy to understand and very helpful with diagrams and illustrated pictures.   The outfits are trendy and include variations to most of the patterns.  These are great for a beginner and also great for a more experienced sewer that wants to learn more skills.  These would also be great reference books for any sewer.

Surprise Saturday ~ Craft Blog
