Owl Doll Friends

If you saw the last post, you saw the blankets for my neices' dolly day bed. Well, I couldn't stop there. Their doll babies need something to sleep with!

 

Doll Blankets

My wonderful little neices need blankets for their doll daybed. These are for them! I hope they like them.

Kitchen Angels

Kitchen Angels done for Christmas.

Hawaii Quilt

First attempt at a quilt...

Nightlight

This is using glass gems (I think that's what they're called), an upside down spaghetti sauce jar, and a small string of Christmas lights.

I have lights hanging out of the jar because the lights I had on hand aren't the fancy ones so when I remove a light, the whole thing goes out. I am going to dip the lights that show in black paint and possibly paint the power cord.

If I do another one, I think I would try using LED Christmas lights because it does get warm, not hot, but warmer than I thought it would.

Picture on Canvas

This is using a canvas, picture printed on tissue paper, puff paint and mod podge.

This one didn't work out. It was using canvas, picture printed on regular paper and mod podge. I might try it again using wood.

Sewing Machine Cover

This doesn't get used often but it's nice to have when I want my space to look cleaned up!

Plushie

I made this for little boy but can't remember what it's name is!

Gift Card Holders

Cute and easy...

Pictures with nature

Baker in North Shore Oahu shells and sand.

Babydoll Diaper Bags, Diapers, and Wet Wipes



Play diaper bags, diapers, and wipes...

Found great tutorials at mommybydaycrafterbynight.com for the bags (I added outside pockets) and craftaholicsanonymous.net for the diapers and wipes.

 

Wreath

Just basic. I had this empty wreath that I got at Big Lots for 70% off 4 years ago...will probably fill it up and add more in 4 more years.

Turtles

I made one of these for each of the little girls in my life and one for me!

 

 

Thread Christmas Trees

OK, so very cool idea and poor execution. I may try again some other time because they didn't turn out like I hoped. Good thing is they are only about 3 inches tall.

Rice Therapy Bag

I've used this several times. Its a removable cover with a little "pillow" of rice inside. Put in the microwave for 2 minutes and you've got a heating pad! I didn't have any essential oil at the time but I think I want to add it to this bag once I actually remember to find some when I'm out. It smells like rice when it's warmed...

Sock Snowman and Family

Merry Christmas...

Ankle sock, fleece or felt, craft paint, buttons and thread.

 

 

Pin Cushion Frames

Have to say that I love this. I have the tomato pin cushion but I really wanted something more flat and that would stay put on the counter. I used stickable foam to layer on the back. I used the tutorial from craftaholicsanonymous.net.

 

Same theory as the rectangle one but this ended up being a little too small.

 

 

Owl Plushie

Love it!

Christmas Tree Runner

This was supposed to have 2 more trees to be a real table runner but I didn't have enough fabric so it's more of a hanger type thing now.

Anywhere Chair

I was shown this on Pintrest when we were visiting Thanksgiving. I looked it up when we got home and found a great tutorial at madebymarzipan.com  and Voila! It's a gift for LilyBear.

Tissue Holders

VERY Basic but nicer than having the plastic cover.

Pillow covers with different techniques

This pillow is done with the center strip pleated.

This pillow is done with a flower applique.

 

 

This pillow is done with using the "Honeycomb Smocking" technique in the center.

This pillow is done with using the "Lattice Smocking" technique. So much fun but I need to adjust the stuffing so it's evenly distributed.

Ear and Neck Warmers

Welcome to Minnesota!

Tooth Fairy Pillows

These were made very early for the Girls!

Baby Blankets

This is blanket #1 that I had to re-do because I did the corners wrong. That mistake made me cut off a bunch of material so now it's more of a lap blanket (as you can see in the comparison of the green vs yellow blankets).

 

 

 

This is blanket #2. Corners worked much better!

 

Hat's and Scarves

These were made for the Girls for Christmas. The only difficult thing for me was measuring correctly for their heads, which I ended up not doing so well. They'll be wearing them for years!

Overnight Bag

Birdie's Christmas present. This is by far the most difficult thing I've made. Not liking zippers!

Car Litter Bag

I thought this was a cute idea. Didn't think I'd use one but the tutorial looked easy enough :o)
