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.

alexa's nursury

I had so much fun getting the nursury ready for Alexa before she was born in June. This was in our last apartment downtown. I made the curtains, rocking chair back cushion, crib bumber, Alexa letters, 3 colored frames, and ribbon bow holders. I basicaly just used fabric, ribbon, and modge podge for everything.

rain gutter bookshelves

on the "to do" list... someday soon I will make this happen behind Alexa's bedroom door! More info here.

greek food

I'm very much into Greek food right now! I made chicken gyros Monday night and Greek Lamb Burgers with Spinach and Red Onion Salad Tuesday. So yummy! And yogurt-feta dip went great with both meals! YUM!
