Shirt for Little B

I have been busy working on lots of projects and thought I would share one that I finished today. It is nothing   extravagant, just a shirt for Little B.

 I bought this shirt and was not sure what I wanted to put on it, I just knew that I wanted something a little different. So while looking through my designs I stumbled upon this darling snail I bought in a set from  Designs by JuJu and knew that I wanted to use it on a shirt.

Grandma made cute green and white ruffle pants that will match this shirt perfectly.

4th of July Towel

I am in the process of making a towel for each of the major holidays, I am making two sets, not sure why, but I thought about giving them to teachers as a Christmas gift. I am sure they will just go in my box of gifts to  use at a later time.

I decided to start with the 4th of July since that is the next holiday that is coming up.

 This is the first one I did, I am not sure what I am putting on the second towel since it is a red, white, and blue plaid. The design is from Embroitique, they have so many cute designs and is a site I am on frequently.

Here is a close up of the design.

I will add the others as I get them done.

Bookmarks

Here are a few more headband book marks I have been working on, I still have a bunch of headbands that I plan on making into headbands, but it will be a little while.

All about mom coasters

Here is a simple, inexpensive,usable, but cute project you can have your kids make for mom, or grandma for Mother's Day.

Materials needed:

• 4-8-4.5" x 4.5" tiles(you can use any amount you prefer. these can be found at any hardware store for between .16-.25cents
• Windex
• paper towel
• Modge Podge
• foam brush
• felt(which I forgot in the picture)
• Printable from  HERE or you can make your own. 

Step 1: Start by cleaning/drying each tile with windex

Step 2: Have your child answer the questions on each square and or draw a picture, use the blank one for a picture of the child. (I would have had them color their pictures or use markers to write their answers so there is a little more color to them)

Step 3:Cut out each of the squares

 Step 4: apply a thin coat of modge podge on the back of one of the papers(it is kind of hard to see in the picture) and apply to the center of the tile(picture below), I had the after thought of adding a piece of scrapbook paper to the tile first before adding the question(I would cut mine as a 4x4 square).

 Step 5: Once tile is completely dry apply a thin coat of modge podge on top of the tile over the paper, then let dry.

Step 6: Repeat step 5 

Repeat this process with each tile until you are done

 Step 6: Cut a 4"x4" square out of felt and hot glue onto the bottom of each tile this way there is no worries of the tiles scratching the surface.(Using white felt makes it hard to see, sorry)

 Tie all of the tiles together with a cute ribbon and you have a cute mother's day gift.

Baby Gift

Thought I would share a baby gift I just made for a friend of mine who had a baby a few months ago, I intentionally bought it bigger and waited to give it to her so he could fit into it this summer.

I embroidered on the onesie using a design from Planet Applique.

Here is a close up of the onesie.

Teacher appreciation gift

The kids had to take a flower today for Teacher appreciation day today, so I made these cute bookmarks for each of them to take.

The design was a free one from Embroidery Garden's Yahoo group. I got the jumbo paper clips from Walmart shortly after back to school time for use in another project but then never used them.

Conference Sewing

Today was our yearly tradition of having my mom and this year my niece and nephew over for Conference Sunday, where we sew and have ableskeivers.

We taught the kids how to make scrubies,I guess I should have taken a picture so you know what I am talking about. 

After making scrubies I made a cute t-shirt dress for the little one using the tutorial found HERE.

 Here is the front. I made the flower on the front with part of the t-shirt I cut off using THIS

Here is the back of the dress.

I love how it turned out.
