Made this when I thought FOR SURE I was having a girl.....I was wrong.

We are expecting a baby boy in December! Let the crafting begin!

An entry way sign, for those of us with little ones!

I caught a sewing bug last week....haven't kicked it yet!

So, I was googling "spring table runners" in search if ideas of things to sew for my memas birthday. I came across the cutest Easter table runner of a chicken laying colored Easter eggs. I HAD to recreate it, it was perfect for my mema. So it took me a day of applique and sewing from start to finish, then I thought I would make more since it was so easy. I have been sewing daily for a week now. I sent one of the projects out ( popsicle themed table runner for my mom) before I remembered to take a picture of it, so I will have to get a picture of it somehow and post it soon.

Toy box for our little boy. this was an old footlocker my husband brought home from work. i had fun painting this. turned out better than i expected!

Bee hive

I have to admit, i coppied this idea from my sons daycare. they had something like this hanging in the entry way and i loved it. So...i had to make one of my own. these bee's are made from paper mache and water balloons. once the paper mache dried, i painted them and used pipe cleaners for litle bee legs. the wings are just cut out computer paper. the hive is twisted up grocery bags. i used hot glue to hold the layers together. fun easy project, hardest part was painting the stripes, and hanging them from the ceiling.

Grinch quilt

i made this quilt for my boys in December, as u can see i got a litte burnt out and didn't finish the binding. i will have to finish that minor detail later on.  this was an easy project. good for a beginning quilter like myself.
