Homemade Heart Felt gifts!

 My oldest daughter has a blanket that was made for her before she was born that is similar to the one above, just different fabric. Well, Little sister has fallen in love with it and loves the edges. So, Mama made Bugs one for her Birthday , so Big. sis. wouldnt get mad that her blanket was getting stolen. I had lots of fun making it. We have all seen these blankets that have been around for at least about 8 years. Everyone probably has one, BUT they are so warm, soft and Cuddly. So, Bugs was one Happy girls when she opened this present on her Bday and it also came with a mini one for her Baby dolls!

 Here is one more gift that I made for both girls for their Bdays. Just a side note, this mama would love to scrap book, but doesnt have the time nor the patience or space to do it. I have loads of cute scrapbooking paper and supplies that are shoved back in the closet and dont get to come out very often. Its time that I just get all those digital snap shots printed out and put into an album for these girls to enjoy!

 They absolutly love looking at these pictures and I have found them several times lately sitting on the couch or in their rooms on their beds looking at these books. I didnt think that they would care much for them right now, BUT I was WRONG!

Crayon Roll

My version of the crayon roll!


I have been wanting to make one of these for a while, so I just decided to do it! I took alot of time,because I came up with my own pattern, but it was so fun to watch it come together! Now doodle is extra excited to color and we can keep all th crayons together instead of in a plastic bag or in containers!

Travel Pillows

Doodle Loved this pillow! She picked out the Fabric and the ribbon that she wanted me to use! Then later that night she was so excited about it that she wanted to sleep with it!
The finished product, my pics keep loading backwards so just bear with me!

Fabric covering the size of the pillow to show how much I would need to make the pillow case big enough!

I stole one of my hubbys pillows the one that was on the bottom of the stack of three, and YES I did ask for permission. I wanted to make these pillows so that we could use them to travel with next week. I took a pillow and just cut it in half with regular scissors, then had to kindof tear the stuffing a little. Then I sewed it shut with my sewing machine.

The next step was to pick out what faric to use and Doodle did a great job of picking out the fabric that she wanted on her pillow. I measured the fabric by wrapping it around the pillow and leaving just a little extra to sew it.

I think it turned out GREAT and it was a fun inexpensive project that didnt cost be anything cause I had all the supplies at home!

WARNING: Most of my sewing projects I do not even use a measuring tape on, I just EYEBALL it and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I love to look at other people's ideas and come up with a similar idea but add a new twist of my own! So I hope you enjoy this blog as it is a new adventure to share with others what I do and How I do it.
