Baby Shower

A while ago now, I threw a baby shower for 3 baby boys that were born into 3 separate families in our church. I of course did a teal and green color theme with the Bible verse "Every good and perfect gift is from above," as my inspiration! Here are the pics :)

Onesie shape cut with my Silhouette!

Tissue paper clouds hung above the food table.

Made with streamers of all things :)

10 little napkins for this one.

Little clouds cut with my Silhouette of course.

Favors I had to design in Publisher.

Yes it was a lot of work but so worth it for my sweet little baby friends!

Gift Wrapping

UPCYCLE

How many of these do we throw out each year??? TONS

Well, I have recently discovered a super way to recycle them!

 The perfect UPCYCLE!

Some More Stuff

Here are a few recent projects.

The first is a gift I made for my friend Nicole to thank being such a generous person. 

 And what's inside??? You guessed it! Another one of those pincushions.

I think I've made 5 now :)

Here is a little something for my Secret sister at church. I found this itty bitty hand lotion tube for your purse and it has butterflies on it! Perfect :) 

I wish the lighting were better :(

 No purpose for these yet but it is a box of handmade cards with matching envelopes.

 I found the basic design idea for these cards here and made it work with the supplies I already have.

 Had to make some matching envelopes! I just love this set :)

 This is just another box I designed with the same cards inside.

It's a prettier green in person...

 Found the tutorial for this here and made my own version :)

LOVE IT!

Sew a Little Ruffle

I use my sewing machine mostly for paper as you know but once in a while I like to make a fabric ruffle for this or that. It is so easy and yet so stunning when finished. For this project I had two kinda boring silver pillows and I was in need of a centre piece for my spare bed. Well why not turn two boring pillows into one stunning one with a little ruffle work!

TA

DA!

What I've Been Up To

OK so it has been months...and months. Well, after being away all summer I came home just in time to start my morning sickness or should I say all day nausea and headaches. Didn't have the energy to keep up with my blogging. I am 24 weeks now and sick with an eternal cough. At least the morning sickness is over and I am functioning again! Ok so I've been functioning for a while just not blogging. Anyway, I thought I would post some of my latest projects. 

Thought I would decorate for Valentine's this year! First time ever :)

  The banner was so easy to make. I found an old Hymnal at a second hand store and cut out tons of hearts from it's pages. I was able to cut quite a few at a time. Then I just fed them through the sewing machine two at a time to stitch them together. Like I said soooo easy but I love how they look!

Found this subway art this awesome site:

It has tons of free Valentine printables!

Today I taught a card making class here at home and combined it with a play date for mom's with kiddos like myself. Evenings are hard to get together some times but crafting while the kids played worked out fabulously. Here are the projects we completed.

The next pic is what I am putting in my valentines this year!  

Isn't he the cutest!

While everything is red here are a few other projects:

Sorry about the crazy lighting!


One Last Thing

One of my super stampin up friends came for a visit a few weeks ago and brought a tons of her products which I took advantage of! Thanks Rena :) I die cut a ton of scalloped squares in my favourite fabrics so that I could make these....OK so I've only made one but I can make many more!

I got the idea straight from the Stampin Up catalogue. I just love it!
