etsy

I just added a few things to my etsy shop...go check them out and let me know what you think!!!

the letter E

i bought this 3-D letter E at a local craft store.  i added colorful & patterned scrapbook paper to cover the brown cardboard.  i also decorated the t-shirt that E is wearing.  my thought was to make petals around the neck of the shirt so it would look like a little flower.  she is one stylin' & sweet little girl!

great giveaway!

check this out-lots of great handmade goodies! my friend, plum tree studio, is in on the giveaway too!

zebra print

i am trying to make up for my lack of posts over the past few months!!! i thought this bag turned out really cute with the zebra print microfiber! a co-worker of mine special ordered it for her granddaughter. a special thanks to teale for doing the monogram!

craft show craziness

i did a craft show last weekend with teale. we sold some stuff, bought some stuff, and had a great time hanging out! it's always fun to see what other crafters are creating. happy weekend!

great giveaway!

baby quilt

Have I mentioned that my mom is crafty too?  She made this quilt for baby E...it has been in the works for a while, but is complete now!  She had the machine quilting done by a local quilter.  It has soft green minky fabric on the back. Handmade gifts are great-the receiver knows that thought and love were put into creating them and cherish the gifts all the more for it.  Support your local artists and buy handmade!

wrap around dress

I did it! I made this dress and bloomers for baby E.  The dress is lined in the brown and pink polka dot fabric that matches the bloomers.  I found this floral fabric in the clearance room of my favorite quilt shop in atlanta back in January.  The back of the dress criss crosses and buttons on the top.  This was my first attempt at button holes (much easier than I thought)!  E hasn't tried on the final product, but once she does I will add a picture.

fancy folders

supplies

you can buy file folders that are pretty and patterned-i've seen them at office depot.  well i decided to make my own...i bought scrapbooking paper on sale at a local craft store and then glued it to the front of the folder.  then i cut out the paper to the shaper of the folder.  now doing paper work and organizing is so much more fun!

swap results

i participated in a "my favorite things swap" a few weeks ago that teale put together. i received a book-nights in rodanthe by nicholas sparks and a willow tree "free spirit" figurine from crystal. i devoured the book as soon as i got it and love the willow tree! it was so much fun to get a surprise in the mail...sorry it took my so long to post about it!
