popcorn bucket

this is for our MOPS (mothers of preschooler) group at church. our theme this year is adventures in motherhood. we are going with a carnival/theme park motif. this will be at the entrance gate and then there are smaller versions as the centerpiece on each table

Baby Wallace!!!

Our dear friends the Wallace's have had baby number 5. and while i passed the floor waiting to hear how it all turned out i made this cute little diaper wreath. it was fun and i think turned out pretty cute!

Autumns Quilt

now Autumn Grace has a quilt too! i made it a bit larger and added a pink satin A in the middle. this was my first try at applique. i wish i had done some reading on applique before i started. but i will get better! and she loves it!!!

chocolate and turquoise

I am LOVING the turquoise and chocolate fabric, here are some of the things I have made with them. and I am really loving my rolly polly model!!!

my first tutu

Or tute as Autumn Grace calls it! its ok, my later ones are much better

she was SO impressed with pictures in the crunchy grass LOL!

my very first order!!!

and it was a big one too!!! thanks so much Amber!!!!!!! i hope your cousin loves her pink and brown nursery!

this was a series of letters spelling out the babies name. every other letter was like below and the others were pink with chocolate polka dots

a few things i made over the summer

My first quilt! its a rag quilt made of several chocolate and baby pink prints. it is smaller, meant to be hauled around by little hands. there were some mistakes, but all in all i was delighted with my first quilt

and the happy recipient. she really loved it, which warmed mommy's heart!!!

I'm not quite done with this bag even still today. it was just something to do with the extra scraps i had. I put it aside to come back to another day. But I did make one for my mom. The same idea but just 4 blocks instead of the extra half blocks at the end. it was much more thought out than this. and it was in black and white prints similar to these. The inside i lined with a fuchsia satin. and then the top of the bag was trimmed with fuchsia roses that were feathery and beaded. i am kicking myself for not taking some shots of it before i sent it off. perhaps Ms. Jan, the recipient of my mothers gift, will be so kind to send me some pics. or maybe i will just make another.

this turned out cute. it was my first attempt at one of the crayon rolls that seems so popular this year. the pocket portion is yellow satin. i think it turned out cute and Autumn LOVES it!

All rolled up!

I love this print so i used some scraps to try my hand at covered wipe cases, also popular this year. i did find that lining the top made them much nicer than many i have seen in the boutiques. the ones i have for sell also come filled with unscented sensitive wipes. but i am thinking i will offer them filled with reusable flannel wipes. they are becoming more and more popular lately!

Another wipey case. this is from scraps from the quilt

This was a gift for my sister in law. i wanted for several months to cover a clip board and finally had the opportunity when she graduated college. she is headed off to be a teacher and i thought this might come in handy. we clipped a gift card to the teacher supply to the front. handy card holder ta-boot!!!
