Seat belt travel pillows

I found a tutorial on pinterest for these awesome seat belt travel pillows. They fold over the seat belt so you can rest your head and take a good nap. I made them for the kids (and Aaron!) for our upcoming family vacay.

 One side is cotton and the other side is super soft flannel or minky!  They were really easy to make and I finished all four in under 2 hours. Great Sunday afternoon project  

I hope the kids enjoy them when we put them to use soon. 

Red, white, and blue!

I made the little miss a new shirt to wear for the 4th. It turned out really cute - I think anyway. 

I've really been into sewing lately - I think because I can usually finish a project while she is napping :)

Pillow Time

My throw pillows were looking a little ragged and I needed a change anyway so this is what I came up with:

A New Church Bag

My Mom bought the pattern and the fabric for this tote bag.  She wanted me to make one with her so that she could just look at mine and not have to follow the pattern.  It turned out really cute - but it was a major pain in the butt to do.

A gift for myself!

I made myself a new apron for Mother's Day!  It turned out way cute.

February Crafts

I'm a little behind in posting all my fun crafts I did for the month of Love.  So here they all are in one post:

Danglers

Throw Pillow (I made 2)

Tile Art

Framed Button Heart

Sweet(heart)

February Runner

I love how this table runner turned out!  I used a Moda charm pack for the edges then I made the hearts out of felt.

January Tablerunner

I LOVE how this tablerunner turned out!  I'm kind of partial to snowmen though.  At first I was hesitant when the pattern stated red, black and white as the colors for this month.  I tweeked it a little and it turned out way cute!

Pillows

I made these cute little pillows the other day.  I really like how the tree one turned out - not too sure about the ornament one.

November Tablerunner

Here is my tablerunner for November.  I love how it turned out!

My first refurbishing project!

I saw this tutorial the other day on how to transform a plain shirt into this sweet ruffly flowered shirt.  I could'nt resist.  (I can't find the tutorial now but I will keep looking and post the link)  It seriously took less than an hour.

A friendly sort of spider!

Here is another pattern I made up.  I LOVE how this cute little spider turned out.  He is very simple to make and I have a couple of them around the house.  The boys love them.

A not so scary witch

I wanted a witch to decorate for Halloween with.  Since I was no where near any type of store that sold a witch - I made my own.  The pattern and design came completely from my own mind.  I used what I had on hand and I have to admit - she turned out exactly the way I was envisioning her.  I have yet to put a mouth on her.  I've made several attempts but nothing has looked right yet.  Here she is:

Fabric pumpkins!

I have seen these little babies EVERYWHERE!  I finally decided to make some.  I think it took me 10 minutes to make the 4 of them.  This is a very simple, fast craft!

September Tablerunner

Here is this months' tablerunner:

I love the way the colors and everything go together!  This was one of the easier ones to make.

Camera Strap Cover

I made this recently for a good friend of mine who is a photographer.  I've been trying to figure these things out for a while now and I finally got it down.  I LOVE the way this one turned out so I made one for myself as well.

Art Cases

I made this one for our little guys' recent birthday - he loved it!

And this one I made for a birthday gift for one of the girls' in his class:

I got the idea for these here.

New Pillows

I've been wanting to make some of these ruffled throw pillows for some time now.  I finally settled on some cute fabric and sewed away.  They came together really fast and I LOVE how they turned out.  They go perfectly with the colors I am trying to implement in our living room.
