Cupcakes!

Ashley's little ladies are turning 2 :)

Lauren's boys are also turning 2

My first attempt at a giraffe hat

and finally my kid's have an awesome Speech Therapist and tomorrow will be her last day with my kids.  She will be missed so I decided to make an extra extra large tote so she can carry all of her books, toys, and things she carries with her.
Like I said it is BIG and has three outer pockets and one large inside pocket

right now I am working on some totes, another giraffe, some OHIO shirts and the list continues :)

A new bag and Benny is 2 (times 2!)

I made a new bag for a friend as a thank you gift.  I really like the way it came out.  It is a little small for me seeing as I carry an arsenal of supplies with two kids, but I can see myself in a couple of years with it.  It has a magnetic clasp closure.

I have been busy with shirts too.  The funny thing is that I had to make two different shirts for two different Bennys, both who were turning 2.

One was an Elmo (shown here with Cookie Monster and Grover)

and the other was Brobee (which I forgot to take a picture of)
I made some pillowcases with snap closures

another tee:

some hair things
Felt clippies

and felt roses

I am working on some hats, finishing up some more shirts, and trying to perfect some shoes... I am in love with them, but want them to be perfect.

My Bag :)

It is a little sad how ridiculously excited that I am now that I finished my bag.  It is the first time that I followed a pattern and it came out pretty good, I love my new sewing machine!


the lining... (with pocket)

A matching headband (I didn't make them to match, I just had some scrap fabric and I keep trying to tweek different headbands to make it "perfect".   I really like the fit of this one)

Then for Bella.   She is in love with Hello Kitty

I made an extra large pocket on the outside for her to put her doll in.  I even made a sleeping bag for the kitty

I love making shirts and crocheting but now I am totally addicting to my sewing machine and can't wait to try something else :)

Mommy and me....

What is better than a tote bag?

A matching Mother / daughter tote set

Meghann is due next month with a little boy and I made some photo props for her:
A blue earflap hat and matching diaper cover

The next two look much better when modeled by a baby.... but alas my babies are no longer babies so I have no models but this is a monkey hat with a "cape" (keep in mind that this is a photo prop and imagine a sweet chubby baby under that.... is your heart melting yet?)

This is a "peapod" and I had to put a doll baby in it so you could kinda get the picture

And finally for today I have some more Bubble Guppie shirts for my friend Kim

***
Now to get back to work... I am working on 2 Brobee, A princess, Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster... Just got them all cut out :)

Capes and monsters and bugs .... oh my!

I am a bit behind on posting some of the things that I have done lately (it is what happens when you are busy working on things, so for that I thank you!)
I made some capes for my kids.  Jack took his before I was done with it and was running around the house saying "to the rescue!".  He had a Buzz Lightyear one of course.
Bella though, she is part Princess and part Bad-ass so she gets this one


I made some tees for Twinkie Tush

Jaxon and Brady are turning 3


Sofia and Ava are turning 2 and Gia is turning 1!


and I think what I am most excited about is that I made my first bag.... not too shabby for my first attempt!

More hair clips :)

I made several two different designs for Ashlee's girls.
First here they will be ready to celebrate the 4th of July in style


And here are some clippies decorated in felt and adorned with felt roses

Bubble Guppies! (and a whole lot more)

Brooke's little ones are turning 2 and they are having a Bubble Guppies Party.  I will say that they were a little tough to make but I think they came out cute.  Here is Gil and Oona

and here is Oona with a matching hair tie for Lily and a pretty tutu!

Happy Birthday Charlie, Lily, and sweet Annaleigh!

Amber has another set of triplets and they are having a zoo themed party.... a zebra, some fish, and an elephant will complete their party

****
I have done a couple other shirts but I have also been trying to work on my crochet

this is more of a prop hat for a newborn shoot

Here are two different purses for the little ladies



A diaper cover (that also has a matching head band which is not shown)

And then I have also been trying out some felt hair clips... I literally just tried them out this week, so these are the first ones and not perfect yet but I enjoy doing them



okay.. enough pictures,  I have to get back to work!
