Crafty Swap

Back in April I joined the Crafty Mama Creations swap and I sent off my package on Monday. Jen got her package today so I think I can show what I made for her:


On her survey, Jen said that she loves black, red & white so this is the combination I came up with. I really like the way this apron turned out...maybe I will have to make another one for me!

Jen also has two little ones and I didn't want to leave them out of the fun. I bought a cute tank top and cute t-shirt and did a little applique-

New Dress


Spring should *hopefully* be just around the corner and a I know a little girl who could use a cute little spring-y dress. I love the color combo of this fabric and I think this pattern is really adorable! I am pretty excited at how this dress came out.

My First Quilt




I have finished my first quilt and absolutely LOVE it!

It is already in good use for those cold winter nights (which have been many lately! Yargh!)
My cat Furrgus also is making good use of it!

Day 1

So, I've never done the whole blog thing...It's always seemed a bit weird. But I figured that I could give it a go and see how I like it. Today the weather was good crafting weather (i.e. overcast and drizzle-y) but I had to work most of the day and then once I got off work, my crafter's A.D.D. kicked in and I couldn't decide what I wanted to work on. I am learning how to sew and am really excited about making my own stuff, I just don't quite have the skills yet. Oh, well hopefully if I keep at it I will be able to make stuff for other people and not have them hide it in a closet somewhere! So I fell back on my knitting at least for a few rows. While I knit, I'm watching "What Not To Wear" and thinking to myself...'I could look better too if I had $5000.00 to spend!' Sheesh, clothing envy!
