:: *CRAFTS* ::

I have been wanting to do this for a little while. I am constantly finding crafty cute ideas on other blogs, and I thought hey maybe I will post a few things that I have recently worked on. I have tried to take pics as I go along. Hopefully it may be helpful for someone else trying to do the same thing : ) I just want to start off by stating that I am CHEAP!! I usually buy my furniture at the DI and refinish it. If I start a craft it is because I have found some ribbon or something on sale at Michael's or I have used my 40 % off coupon at Hobby lobby, Michael's or Joann's. I love, love to do crafty things. I most definitely am not a perfectionist. I am a pretty lousy seam stress, but I can in vision what a crappy piece of furniture can be : ) Good luck and have fun crafting

Changing table was purchased on Craigs list, total score : ) I was so excited to find my baskets at Home Goods,they match Henslee's room perfectly !! I just printed the labels off on my computer and covered a clothes pin with a tiny peice of paper to attach the label. Some of my labels were Diapers, wipes, lotions, headbands, etc....

Alright ladies this stuff is super, duper. I love it. Like I said before I am not much for sewing so this stuff comes in handy. I used this to attach anything you see on the following onesie's. All you do is cut it the same shape of fabric and apply heat. It's as simple as that!

I just used ribbon scraps for the Christmas tree & a gold pom pom. I made her leggings out of womens socks that I found at walmart for $1.99. I cut the feet out and stitched a hem. But I could've used the HEAT N BOND, to do the same hem.

I love, love this fabric. They have some really cute fabric at Hobby Lobby. My sister in law made me a darling bag using this fabric. I had to go get me some...and do something with it. Well this is what I came up with.

You know I was going to have to show off my beautiful little girl. I also made her a little skirt out of the fabric. I did not do a tutorial on that but it was super easy. Maybe I will take photos of the next skirt.

These letters and star applique's were at Michaels. They were only a few dollars and I still have a star and letters left over. I had the ribbon and the fabric. Once again I used the Heat N Bond to

attach. Pretty much if you cn iron, you can do all of these : )

We recieved this from a friend before Henslee was born. I loved it but thought it needed some color. It was used but in really good condition. After I washed it I just added some RIT Dye to the fabric. I got it at walmart for I think $1.99. I had this black ribbon from last years after Christmas sale for like 80% off : )

Once again cute fabric from Hobby Lobby. I got the burp cloths for about $1 a peice. I don't think I will buy that brand again( I think it was Gerber, they are just cloth diapers.). As you can see in the pic above they balled up after I washed them. But they come in very handy with Henslee, she never spits up but she slobbers like crazy while she is eating.
