leg warmers

So this week in church Chloe was complaining about her tights and made me take them off. I was trying to figure out what she could wear to keep her cute little legs warm and the thought came to me leg warmers. So I got online and found a tutorial on baublesandbits.blogspot.com and made these from a pair of my socks that cut off my curculation. They were so easy and turned out cute. My sister Melanie and I were actually making them while we were talking on the phone:) So fun

Little bag, BIG BAG

So I made this bag cause I thought it was cute but when I finished it I could probably only fit my wallet in it so I made it bigger !! Anyone who knows me knows I like big bags.

Kaylas birthday is coming up and she wanted me to make her a purse. I think this one turned out super cute. I got the pattern off of my favorite website youcanmakethis.com
I also made the girls costumes. It was alot of work cutting them out.

I also made them halloween skirts. Kayla wore hers but chloe wanted a dress instead of a skirt. Don't worry I made her wear it:)

bags


Lately my friend and I have been making bags. I have only made one in the past so I thought I would try again and now I am addicted. We have the cutest quilt shop by me that has the funnest fabric. I am banned from going there unless I need something because when I get there I somehow NEED everything I see:) Here are a few of the ones I have been working on.


This bag I made for my sister-in-law. I used decorator weight fabric . The pattern I used is an Amy Butler pattern. It's called the swing bag. Very easy and fast to make.




These two bags are also an Amy Butler pattern. This one is called the birdie swing bag. I loved making this bag. The first one is mad out of decorator weight fabric and the second one the fabric is from the cute quilt shop by my house.
I am copying my sisters and doing a craft blog. So now anyone who wants to see how creative or creatively challenged we are can come here. I will put a link to my sisters blogs to. So far I have alot of projects completed and so I will post those soon. I also have a stack in the corner of my craft room to finish so there should be lots of fun things to see.
