Baby Bunting Banner Quilt

This quilt was too cute to not share! Found on Little Birdie Secrets. I love the bunting and the ric rac on the edge! So cute!

dress

I made this dress today for Alexa to possibly wear at my sisters wedding this Saturday. It's two pieces. I just kinda made it up. I may add sash... I still need to take care of the wrinkles.

beaded lamp

Alexa needed a cute lamp in her room. I threw this together because I love the beaded look and these colored ones are fun.

my clutch

So I decided to make my own clutch. I like how it turned out.

gathered clutch

Um... cute. Check out the tutorial here.

play kitchen

cutest home-made play kitchen ever! someday i will be copying this!

Pillows

These are just basic pillows I made. Nothing fancy. I love the houndstooth pattern.

Behind-the-Door Book Shelves

I was going to make these rain gutter bookshelves I posted earlier. But, it turns out the end caps are more expensive than the actual gutter part. So, when my family came to visit a couple weeks ago, my wonderful dad and brother helped me make these cute shelves. They were just different pieces of molding from Home Depot. The piece that the books sit on have a little ridge which keeps the books from sliding off. We just self-cut them with the saws they have in the store, nailed them together, and painted them. Simple! And a great way to use the dead space behind the door.

ruffle scarf

Vera ruffled scarf $35.
$32 scarf from Anthropology. Very cute!



These are two I made for less than $5 each. No, I didn't show my face :) I'm not a model! Mine are made from a knit fabric unlike the Anthropology one. But a very similar look. I made mine from a tutorial on Hope Studios. Hope studios shows several ways to wear the scarf. These can be made in about 10 minutes.

ruffle bib and burp rag

These were a lot of fun to make. I somewhat followed the tutorials from Homemade by Jill. I used flannel which worked very well and did not use batting. There are a ton of cute flannel fabrics so I need to get to Joann's again!

leg warmers

I made some leg warmers for Alexa several months ago. Leg warmers are great because it takes a lot longer to grow out of them. Alexa still wears hers five months later. I made mine from the tutorial at Everything Your Mama Made.

Another cute (and easy) style are ones with ruffles at the bottom, which can be found at Calico.

flowers and bows

i've been experimenting making baby bows... it's fun! I really love this little pink one, especially since alexa finally has enough hair to hold a bow!

ruffled bib

this bib is adorable, the ruffle makes it so feminine! another item on the to-do list...


There's a template for the burp rags and bib here: Homemade by Jill.

pelmet boxes

I threw together these window treatments for our living room. It does a lot for that side of the room. They're actually pretty simple to make.

While I was at it I made this remote/magazine holder with the same fabric. I also have some ruffle pillows in the works.
