Baby Ts and Yellow Blossoms

While Munch was munching on snacks I got out a free iron-on that was on a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and put my iron to work.

They didn't come out to bad, but let me say that using a cardboard iron-on is a major pain.

When John got home I FINALLY got to finish a skirt I've been working on. It's pretty simple, but I'm proud. :o)

It's excellent for playing tug-of-war with Kaiser.

Found Craft: Cherry Shorts

I made these shorts when I first got my sewing machine. I just took apart a tight pair I had and added the cherry fabric, so nothing fancy. I found them while I was going through my clothes last week. I was actually surprised I could fit in them again!

I forgot how super comfy they are...I might have to make some more.

Found Craft: "Flopsy"

I haven't had much time to do anything crafty lately. I've been very busy packing, painting and going through boxes. The perk of going through boxes is that you never know what treasures you'll find. We found this doll at my mother's (soon to be our) house. We can't remember her name...so I'm calling her Flopsy...since that is what she is.

I knit her for my sister when I was 13 or 14. I had just learned to knit and found the pattern for her in a kids craft book. (Which I also hope to locate.) The stitches are to lose and she probably could have used a little more stuffing...but she was made with lots of love.

I gave her to Arianna during a Christmas we spent in England. Arianna didn't think that she would be warm enough with the clothes I made her....so my Grandmama made her a cute poncho and gloves.

And here is the rest of her wardrobe. The gray "skirt" she's wearing in the first picture is actually a dress and the vests I made go over that. I can't wait to see what other goodies I find.

A Present For Papa

Last week my sister-in-law and I went to Kil'n Time so the kids could make a gift for Papa. It took a while to pick out exactly what we were going to do, but we finally decided on making race cars using the kids feet. I think the kids had fun and they were all so good and patient!! I got lost going to and coming back but I want to go again to maybe make something for John.

Etsy Spring Bash....FINALLY!

First...here's a picture of Munch in his Scooby outfit I made him.

The Etsy Spring Bash was smaller than Funky Finds, but just as good. We saw some old favorites and a bunch of new and fun stuff too.
I got these charms made using scrabble pieces from http://karmacrochet.etsy.com/
I already have two necklaces that were made using the same idea, but I couldn't pass up the cherry and the camera.

John and I picked out a bunch of vinyl stickers from
http://www.one-updesigns.com/index.html
It was really hard to pick just ten. They will be great for crafting gifts with.

Finally I bought a shirt for John at http://www.dowdystudio.etsy.com/
He knows I got the shirt...just not which one so I'm showing you the stamp that's on the back of all their shirts. I will definately be buying from them again as there were a couple more that would make excellent gifts...I'll try to remember to take a picture of John wearing his when he gets it...I'm thinking for his birthday.

That's all for now. I'm working on a skirt for me and a toy for Munch, we are in the process of packing and moving right now so we'll see when those actually get done. I hope it won't be to long though.
