Proud Mama

I know it has been a long time, but I've been a little caught up in life :)
I have learned something new and I'm slightly addicted >giggle< I made stencils from photos and created a completely unique shirt for myself. It was quite a bit of work, but it turned out really cool, I think.



Now I really want a cool new toy. It is a little bit like a Cricut, but it connects to your computer so it can cut any shape, not just the expensive cartridge ones. Of course it's not cheap, but I'm gonna keep my eyes open and maybe someday I'll be able to find a good enough deal and scrape together enough change at the same time, LOL.

In the mean time, I'm just spending hours with an exacto knife :P

Loving this one!!!

 

 

I am loving this new set I made for Butterfly! A tie-dress, appliqueed tee, ruffle pants, headband, and bow socks. I would love to find some little flip flops and rag tie those too... There are so many ways to wear this set! In fact, she got it dirty yesterday but this morning when she got dressed she grabbed it out of the hamper and wouldnt' wear anything else, LOL!
I hope to make the same set for the other two girls too. They're thoroughly jealous.
The other night when I was first working on it, DH was heading to bed. I asked if he wanted to see what I was working on, and he politely said that yes, of course he would. The jumper was most of the way done at that point. He LOVES it too! Being rather extensive, this set would probably be offered for $50 to $60.

Ribbon tees

This is the second time I've tried my had at ribbon tees. I just love the way they look! These are actually for two little girls I don't know for Christmas. I sure hope they like them! The older one is 3 years old, the younger is 9 months. I made a matching hairbow for each of them. I also made an interchangeable headband for the little one. I don't know how much hair she has, so they each have a no-slip lined alligator clip and hers can go on the headband as an option. What do ya think? I won't even get to see how the girls like them, so I have my fingers crossed on this one!
(In case you can't see in this picture, there are little lady bugs on the ribbon.)
