Towel Wrap

This was a quick, no cut project. I just folded over the top about 1 1/4", stitched the middle, pulled the elastic through, stitched it in place, and then sewed on velcro to the ends. Love it!

Suncatchers

We made these by melting beads in the oven. We used mini-cupcake, regular cupcake, cake pans, and a small casserole dish. The instructions I found said 400 degrees for 20 minutes, but we had to watch and change it a bit for the different sizes.

Beach Bag

Every time we've gone swimming, I've had a few different bags. So I decided to make a big bag that could hold everything I'd need for the pool. I loved this fabric, and I'm so happy with how the bag turned out. Simple and functional, just how I like things! Thanks to Sophia, my bag expert, for the help!

Kindle Case

I made this Kindle case for a co-worker, and I plan to make more to sell. It was quick and easy, and I love the fabrics I found. I have extra of this fabric, and I'm tempted to make another for myself to keep! Another co-worker doesn't have a Kindle, so I made her a bookmark with scraps I had leftover.

Hairbow

I had bandana fabric left over from E's "1" shirt (as seen here), so I decided to make myself a hair flower bow thing. I'm not great with hair, but I see other people and I want to do better. So, I tried it out. I love it! Now I want to try a few different styles! Directions for this one found here

Photo Book

I've been wanting to make this for a while, but haven't really gotten around to it. Today E spent time with Daddy in the garage doing projects, so I could run errands! Yay! Total cost - less than $3! My natural instinct is to dress it up a bit, but I keep reminding myself that this is going to get USED by a small child.

We live so far away from family, I wanted E to have a book that he could touch and play with and learn faces and names. He loves looking at the photo books we have, but he's too rough with the pages. I can't wait to try this out in church tomorrow!

Cinco de Mayo

For a Cinco de Mayo party, I made sombrero cookies, a la pinterest! I was short on time, so I made white cake mix cookies, threw some store bought frosting in a ziploc, and went to town. There are still sprinkles in my kitchen, I think!
