Curious George

So...I haven't posted family pics...ALL SUMMER. I really do not sit by my sewing machine ALL day. (I only wish!)

We went to Curious George in June (I think) and the kids were crazy! They got to see Curious George and then we went to go and do crafts...and ALL my kids wanted to do was run away and down the hall...But it was fun and the kiddies enjoyed.

I'm here and some recent projects

I have been meaning to blog for a while, but I got caught up reading and I forgot all about life!! I should post a picture of my kitchen to prove my point!

Anyways, I will probably post a few posts...just to get caught up!

I have been in a sewing/craft mood lately! Well for about the last 6 months. I figured I would post some of my "finished" products!

PROJECT #1

I was blog hopping and this blog showed something similar to this...and my mind started circulating and I made these cute onesies (I forgot the original blog :()

These were really easy. I just grabbed some digital scrapbook embellishments and then I printed them on Iron-on transfer paper (make sure you print the image reversed) and then I just ironed them on to some old onesies I had...just to see if they were cute.

Here are 2 of my favorites:





Here is all of them:



You can use any clip art, or pictures...and it was SUPER easy!



PROJECT #2

My friend had made some of these pumpkins and I LOVED them. SO, 9 months after the fall I decided to start them. I have made two...but they are fun. There was a tutorial, but it has been taken off the web. But you can go HERE to see inspiration...and maybe next time I start working on them I will make a new tutorial. Because they are adorable and cheap to make!





All I need to do is tie ribbon around the stems for leaves and make enough to fit across my mantle...I will post the pictures this fall when they go up!


PROJECT #3

Ruffle-butt onesies.


My friend is having a girl and I made these for her shower! Thankfully she loves them as much as I do and they were a hit. HERE is the tutorial I followed...


I started with these onesies (from Target)




I used my serger for the edges of the ruffles, if I owned pinking shears I would have used them...maybe I will have to steal (I mean borrow for a long time) my mom's when I go to visit.








Here is the cute packaging I did! (I was impressed)




Project #4


I was letting will rip paper and glue it and I had this fun idea for a card.


Basically, I just glued ripped scraps on a 12x12 sheet (if you cut the paper to 8 1/2 x 11 it will save time later) and then after the paper was all covered I cut it into 4- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 pieces.


I then glued it onto the front of the card. (to make a card you cut a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock (or cut a 12x 12 piece) in half lengthwise...and just fold each piece in half)



You can then further embellish as you want.







Project #5

I love the ties on the onesies...I no longer have a baby in onesies so I made them for a friend who had a little boy.

I used this tutorial. They are super easy and I zig-zaged around the outside...I thought it was cute.






I do have some others, I just forgot to take pictures...so when I get to that point...I'll post.
