Teachers gift

Logan's 1st grade teacher is awesome

(and it happens that he will have her again for 2nd grade!!)

And i wanted to make her something as a thank you for a great year.

So i made her an apron.

And Logan made her a hot pad.

It's reversible.

All folded up and ready to go!

Here are Logan and Derek.

Logan is holding the apron (obviously)

and Derek is holding his pot holder in process.

Peekaboo Bonnet

So.  I could not resist.

I bought Rae's adorable bonnet pattern.

And I have made several already for that little niece of mine.

Here is one on Mia.

She is the daughter of a friend at work.

Too cute.  Really.

This front view shows how much coverage it gives.

And even though Miss Mia is looking into the sun in this one

**where are her sunglasses?**  :)

you can still see that its pretty deep.

Now go to Made By Rae and get your own!!

Or, let me know.

I'd be happy to make another one.

Denni's quilt

i used the same pattern as i did for Peyton's quilt.

i totally do not know what fabric i used.

i should write these things down!

 i bought wayyyy too much fleece backing

so i made a separate throw.

so cuddly!

Hoody for baby

As promised

Using the fabric that I won (yeah, I won!)

The pattern from here...

I made this:

Love it!

Next time I will not add the bottom or the cuffs

and not sew the front pieces together

just use maybe 2 larger buttons instead

You know, change the whole pattern!

Have a great day~

booties

Let me tell you about the c.u.t.e.s.t. booties.

And, easy.

Being a self-taught-left-handed-crochet-er (is that a word?!?)

finding patterns that I can understand can be a challenge.

But, thankfully, I have a go-to etsy shop.

Seriously-I have purchased many-a-pattern from her.

Without futher ado: http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamachee

too cute, right?

And some for baby

Not my baby.  My BIL & SIL had a little girl in April.  Precious.   Seriously.  I wish we lived closer together so that I could see them more often.

And, since I can't be with them, I made them stuff for baby.

Here is a diaper bag that I made using Craft Apple's pattern that I bought at a LQS.  It was so much easier than it looks!

And some nursing covers I made using Diary of a Quilters tutorial:

And some too cute burp cloths.

I'll post the quilt and a little hoodie that I made soon :)

it's been a while...

Well.  Life.  What can I say.  It gets busy sometimes.

 I have been crafting-really.

I will catch this little blog up bit by bit-starting now.

My 1st 2011 finish was Logan's quilt...

but I am super lazy and have not taken any finished pictures of it.

God forbid i drag myself upstairs and do it now...

But here is the first of a few finishes. 

This is a baby quilt I made for some really good friends for their 1st baby girl.

Well, their 1st baby.  And it was a girl :)

I used Fandango Suger Pop.

It was several months ago and I forget now.

I used the Simply A Bloom. 

I only made 1/2 of the quilt though.

It's for a baby, afterall.

I will post more completed projects soon, promise.
