Life is like a bag with cherries.

I finished my cherry bag. It didn't come out like the first bag...because I tried to add a lining and screwed up...but it all worked out.

I put a pocket on the inside for fun...

and here is the blurry but finished interior.

I think I like the "screwed-up" version better.

Go Stars!

I finally finished Lyndon's Stars blanket. I only took it apart 3 times...and it's a lot bigger than I meant it to be....but I guess that means he'll just get to use it for a while. Kinda makes a good throw blanket actually. Don't mind the messy house in the background.

And heres a picture with the outfit John picked out.

Belly Pics

Alisha asked if I was taking pictures of my belly so I thought I would share one of my digi-pages. I do all my pages using Adobe Photoshop and the free kits I find. This particular one is done using:

Grow Tag - Mary Mary Quite Contrary - Two Peas in a Bucket
Background and all other embelishments - Blossom Kit by Art Nation

I might start posting more pages in between actual crafts...after all it is a form of crafting...kinda.

Space Dinosaur

I found white bibs at Babies R Us...and decided to decorate. So here is what I've done so far.

The directions on the bib said no ironing...but my iron on transfers required it...so I tried and it seemed to work out. No damage that I can see. The words I did on my own. I think they turned out pretty well...even if I do say so myself.
The bibs came in a pack of ten...so I'm sure I'll have eight more to show off at some point.

a bag and a blanket

I'm finally posting pictures!

My sister came over a week (or so) ago and requested I make her a bag from a pattern she found on http://www.burdastyle.com/ it's the first time I've ever attempted to create anything with a pattern before. I think it worked out pretty well.

The stripes on the fabric gave me a little bit of a headache...so the next bag I do will be with a cherry fabric for me.


In other craft news...I finally finished a blanket for Lyndon. It may not look that complicated...but I tore it apart and restarted it so many times I lost count. Thankfully I'm finished now so I can start working on other things.

Next on my list of things to do: a second bag (as mentioned above) and finishing a Stars themed blanket for Lyndon/Daddy. The Stars blanket has only been pulled apart 3 times so far...I'm hoping that will be it!
