Feeling Patriotic?

I'm very excited to be working on some 4th of July creations - it's got me feeling very patriotic! Here are a few items, that are listed for sale on facebook and in my etsy store..... I'm working on some custom orders now (including some cute little boys shirts) that I'll post soon.

Mother's Day Craft

My son and I enjoy giving handmade gifts, and we weren't sure what to do about Mother's Day this year.... until my mom mentioned her birdhouses needed repainting, and  I vaguely recalled seeing decoupaged birdhouses on Pinterest. Then it hit me - I have a ton of fabric scraps from all of the dresses I've sewn, why not decoupage them onto the birdhouses? So off to Hobby Lobby I went, to get Mod Podge, paint brushes, and a new birdhouse to give to my grandma for Mother's day, as well. What a fun project!

 

It's so easy!! Just paint the Mod Podge onto your birdhouse, and start placing fabric. If you do the hard parts first (the underside of the roof, around the bottom, etc) it's easier later on. I also found it easier, and more fun, to use smaller, randomly shaped cut pieces of the scrap fabric. I put 2 layers of Mod Podge on the birdhouses once they were done, and then sprayed a clear coat of indoor/outdoor Krylon on them for extra protection against the elements. 

 We sure do hope they are liked, not only by the recipients, but by the birds as well! :) 

Happy Mother's Day!

Summertime Sibling Set

I'm so excited to have completed this cute little summer sibling set!! If you look closely, you can see that I modified the straps on the Sweet Summertime dress. It's now knot ties, due to length issues with the straps in different sizes - what a headache that was! Now, it's adjustable, so it's guaranteed to fit your little girl perfectly!

And the boys shirts, how cute are they? The dinosaur is my favorite, his tail wraps around the back of the shirt. I know the little boy getting this shirt, and he specifically requested a dinosaur, I think he's going to be pleased as punch that the tail wraps around the shirt :) I cannot wait to get pictures of those three in these outfits!!
