I have had this wine bag on my sewing to-do list for awhile. I thought it would be perfect for my mother-in-law’s birthday as she loves wine! I used a retired pair of my absolute favorite white jeans and the white polka dot fabric was from an old jacket. I was pretty happy with the end result. I can’t wait to make some more of these.
My good friend and old co-worker, Jenn Maine, recently got a job in Detroit at Gyro and is moving there soon! I am so happy and excited for her – although I will miss seeing her often. She is very talented and will do great there. As a gift, I made her an owl pillow of course. She is quite the animal lover and it seemed quite fitting. I had been working on this hand stitched felt owl anyway and thought by turning it into a pillow it would be a perfect new apartment gift. Here’s to you Jenn, love ya.
One of the gifts I received for my son was a blanket with ribbons sewed around the edges. Little did I know our son would LOVE this blanket (aka his kiki) and need it with him always. So I decided I needed to make some extras for him for washing days and then thought why not more for gifts! They are really fun to make and here is a glimpse of 2 I have made.
I had fun making business cards for my sister-in-law. She makes custom headbands and other hair accessories for little girls. I printed them on some white sparkle paper. They glitter nicely in the light.
My best friend is expecting her first child in August and I had the privilege of throwing her a baby shower! They are waiting until the birth to see the gender. SO I had to think of a fun gender-neutral theme. I came up with baby birds.
I chose to print the invites on craft paper to give it the earthy and outdoor look. I picked green as the main color since that is the color of the baby’s room.
Here is the envelope, which you can see the title peek nicely as guests open them.
This is a close-up view of some of the bird mobiles I made out of construction paper and sticks.
I had a lot of fun making the centerpieces. I used more cut out birds, which I hot glued to some sticks and placed them in glass vases filled with spanish moss.
We had a wonderful time at the shower and I can’t wait for baby to be here!
Finally! Welcome to my new website and blog. Hope you enjoy :)
