The latest stuff

Some cards I made on our craft night (Thanks Cole for instigating this) it was so much fun to giggle with my sisters and mom. Of course Kade was just as funny to talk with too. Guess you have to be one of the girls Kade. (Kayce you are always welcome if you are in town :D)

















Then I was having cravings and want to make cookies, just not the usual ones. Then I remembered I had some cream so I made soft molasses cookies-YUM!!

And here is a gift I made for my cousin that just had a baby.
Birp Clothes

Diaper holder

Wipe case

and a Hooter hider that doubles as a carseat cover. Hope it comes in handy. :)

Well that is about it. I have a few other things I am working on STILL. When I finish them I will post pictures.
Happy Crafting

SOLD

I was so shocked about a week ago when I check my email and saw that I had sold something through Quilted Bear. It is the first and only thing I have sold so far, but hey ya gotta start somewhere right?
I was not able to get pictures of the latest project, but luckily it was for my little sister so I will have to get pictures later and post. I made her a Hooter Hider (I LOVE this new name) which doubles as a carseat cover, a diapee and wipee case and 2 birp clothes. I have not finished the last of her gift (and she does not know what it is and since she reads this I will not be saying what it is :D) I am hoping to finish sooner rather than later, and since she is due next month I have a deadline :O. Don't worry I will get it done.
Other than that I have not been doing a lot of crafts, but that will end as the same sister wants to have monthly craft nights. So at least once month I will be crafting (thanks for the kick in the butt and help to do this). I am SO excited and have SO many project I want to do so this will help so much.

So lately I have been able to do a lot of crafting. I have this cute wood decor that I have needed to paint and now have it mostly done. It is a really cute idea you get the letters HME and then have different things for the O for each month. Here are the ones I have pictures of:
January


February
A heart with a ribbon around its base-need to get a picture and post
March
A leprachan hat with a ribbon and a buckle-SO cute, also need to take a picture
April

May

June

July

August

September

October
A cute witches hat I don't have a picture of yet
November

December-still needs a ribbon around it-super cute when I do it I will try to take pictures.

for Birthdays :)

And here is an extra decoration
A super cute hat I still need to finish for July :)

Then we celebrated my grandparents birthdays and I did the cakes. They turned out SO cute, (I am bias though)




Then I saw a really cute idea for headbands but with not having money I could not buy them, so I decided to try to make them. This is how the one turned out. It is cute and great at keeping my hair out of my face (and since I am waiting for the job before going and getting a hair cut since we can't afford it, I love to have the LONG bangs out of my face)

Then I decided I needed a bigger bag for church. Between buddies, diapers, wipes, and ALL the other stuff I have to take it is nice to have one bag to put it all in instead of having 5 bags.

and with having Presidency meetings that only I go to I hate to bring the big old diaper bag, and really, really hate having all my things like my wallet, keys etc I need to take with no home and then I have to search everywhere for them so I made this bag for my purse. Then realized it was not quite big enough, so I enlarged it to 125% and it is perfect.

So that is a few things I have been working on the last week or two. I have a couple of baby gifts I am now going to work on, plus a few other things I need to finish. Hopefully I can do it in a timely fashion, (HA HA yeah right).

So for Christmas we made a genealogy tree for my in-laws. They LOVED it and said it was the best Christmas gift they have ever received. Here are a couple of pictures of them opening the gift.



I made a calendar for all the grandparents, a cousin and Ryan. I had some problems with a couple of the pages for Ryan, so I am still trying to finish his. But here is what they look like.

Here are a bunch of Birthday cards I have started to make for this year.










I love the theme for the year for the Youth. I decided to make a vinyl 12x12 tile. I love it and decided to take it to Church on Sunday's to display to help the girls remember the theme. Here is a picture of how it turned out!


So for now I have got all my projects posted, of course with not working any more I have more time to PLAY!! So I will be catching up on my projects and working on them inbetween dealing with kids and my calling.
