Bugs First Birthday!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Bug is #1


Well the big #1 birthday party was a success!  My daughter and I had so much fun planning this party and making all the decor.  It was a Kate Spade inspired theme :).

Check out what we made!






















I got the luxuryhandbagsvg file from SVGCuts.com.  The DP In Bloom from My Minds Eye purchased from Scrapbook.com as well as the gold foil paper.

We put hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works, bubbles, sparkly pink nail polish and neon pink glow bracelets in the purses.  Boys got plain black bags with quads, bubbles and bracelets in neon green.  :)

Crochet baby sweater...

Hello Crafty Friends!

The other day I shared a post about the sweater I crocheted my beautiful granddaughter.  Here she is wearing it.






Baby gown into dress and crochet baby sweater


Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I thought I would share what I did to a really cute baby gown that my granddaughter never wore.  She didn't like the gowns.

Found this gown at Hobby Lobby when we were
in the baby shower planning stages.  Mermaids was
the theme and color scheme was Coral and Aqua.  


After my granddaughter was born, we realized she really didn't love the
gown idea.  So a few months went by and I thought,
"Why not make a little dress out of it?!"
It was made a of a thick tshirt type fabric so I
just trimmed off the bottom and stretched it out (no hemming...YAY!)
It turned into a really nice ruffle effect which was perfect.
I realized I had about a 5" piece of fabric left with the elastic
bottom and thought..."Make a headband!!"
I trimmed off the elastic bottom and rolled it and ran a seam up the opposite
side to math the original seam and VOILA!  Headband!!
With the left over couple inches of strips I made the flower.

I found this free pattern and made this cute little sweater too.
It's finally getting to be fall chilly weather so this will be perfect.  :)



My Little Miss model.  We added a pair of white capri leggings.
I love how this turned out!

 Until next time...

Hugs,
Terri

Pillowcase dress, Take 2...

Hello Crafty Friends!

The other day I shared a pillowcase dress from Melissa Mortenson at We All Sew.  You can check out blog posts HERE and HERE.  While the size I first made was the 0-3 month size, as you can see in previous blog post, it is a little big for her right now.  So I cut down the measurements to 17"x11"  for the body and 17"x5" for the hem piece.  She is 2 months now and this fit her a bit better.  I still think it could be a little bigger than this, although it does make a cute top size (we are going to pair it with leggings).  I think for the next one I will make something in between.  This is a really quick little dress to make.  Probably only took an hour on this one.

Here she is, my little model...

  
She has become quite mobile and wiggly these days and this was the only shot in focus.  haha!

Here is a little sneak peak of the next color combo I have in mind...



Stay tuned!

Crochet Turban for baby and update on Pillowcase dress...

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today was spent with my little miss granddaughter and I wanted to share with you one of the many
turban headbands I made for her before her arrival.  I had quite a few days of waiting for her to get here so I busied my hands crocheting head bands and hats for her.  LOL!

I found this pattern on Mamachee crochet patterns.  It is a free pattern and you can find it HERE!  It was very easy to use and I just loved making it.  Go check it out!  It's a little big but she will have plenty of time to grow into it...I hope!  It goes by so fast!!  :)







Here she is wearing the pillowcase dress I showcased the other day HERE!  It is definitely to big for her right now but she will grow into it before the end of fall I'm sure. I'll try to find her a cute little white cardigan to wear with it.  I will cut down the other one a few inches all the way around.  It is a very easy rectangular pattern so shouldn't be hard to adapt a little bit smaller.  :)  She wasn't her usual smiley self this time of the day...she saved up some pretty wonderful smiled for her Pop Pop tonight at dinner though!  I just can't get enough of her!!  :)  (It's a grandma thing I hear!  LOL)

Well until next time,

Pillow Case Dress

Hello Crafty Friends!

Hope you all are well.  It's been a while I know.  This grandma business is the BEST!!

I found this pattern on Pinterest from Melissa Mortenson at We All Sew and couldn't resist trying it out.  It was super easy and super fun picking out the fabrics.  Here is the first one (trying it out for size before I make the next one).  I'm sure it is going to be to big, but since we have summer weather thru October she just might fit into it while it is still hot.  This is the 3-6 month size.  You can see the size chart and easy to follow instructions on the We All Sew link above.






Couldn't resist adding a little pic from our 1 month photo shoot.  She is just to fun!

Until next time friends,

Baby Reveal for our first grandbaby

Hello Crafty Friends!

Catching up on some postings today.  (Better late than never, right?!)  ;)

We threw a baby reveal for Kayla and Chris back in early December 2015 to share what the baby's gender would be.  It was a beautiful day filled with family and friends.  We are so excited!!!

Thought I would share some of the crafty goodies we made...












Countdown blocks I made with months on the other side
so when baby gets here we can take monthly pics.  



I hope you enjoyed.  There are tons more crafty projects that have been going on through the months to share, but will have to wait until after the baby shower.  Stay tuned!!
