The Avery Tote

A friend that used to be in my ward asked me to make a scripture tote for her niece's baptism.  This might just be my most favorite one I've ever made!  (And between my mom and I we've made well over 100, so that's saying A LOT!) 

I took some quick pictures of it this morning before it got picked up so I could always remember it's awesome-ness!  The pictures could use a little more awesome-ness, but I get NO direct sunlight in my house.  NONE.  Our house has a two story house on each side, which shades us and keeps our electric bill in check, but it totally cramps my indoor picture taking style!  And I didn't feel like going outside :) (Too hot!!)

I had to ghetto crop these two pictures to cut out the toys that were on the floor :)  Aren't those polka dots just THE CUTEST!!??  They add to the favoritism! 

I also love the green bottom.  (And my new nail polish.  Thank you Sephora!)

If you haven't notices, I really love this bag! :)  I forgot how much fun they are to create and make.  Maybe I'll start selling them in my Etsy shop again...  What do you think?

Copy & Paste

My sister and I have a friend named Gayle, who is having IDENTICAL TWIN BOYS in a few weeks.  While randomly searching Etsy one day, I saw this shop here and decided that copy and paste twin onesies were a brilliant idea and too cute to pass up.  Freezer paper stencils to the rescue!

After reading this freezer paper stencil tutorial (I'm a firm believer in Dana @ Made!!), I went to work.  Freezer paper stencils are so stinkin' easy!  I don't know why I'd never done it before.  Now I have a whole list of things and projects that I want to use stencils on!

Gayle still needs to keep her kiddo's in for a few more weeks, but hopefully when they're all plump and ready, we can take a few pictures of them in their cute new onesies!

My new friend

This is Poke-A-Hoot.  The other night when I was sewing, I knocked over my box of pins.  It was at that moment I decided that I needed a pin cushion.  So I gathered up some of my favorite fabric and went to work.  Now that he's done, I feel a little bad poking him with pins!  He's just so darn cute!  I am totally in love with my new little friend!

Noodles & Milk Pattern Testing - Kinley Lounge Pants

The second pattern I got to test for Sabrina at Noodles and Milk was the Kinely Lounge Pants Pattern.  Lets just say that these pants are STINKIN' CUTE!!  They are so cute and girly!  The pattern was great!  Sabrina writes them so they are clear, easy to follow, and include wonderful pictures.  When the final pattern hits her shop, get one!!!  The little girls in your life need these pants!!

Cute on the hanger, yes, I know.  But look how much better this little cutie makes them look!!

And I have to add one of that sweet little face!  Just because it's so darn cute!!  Thanks to Ginny & Colin for letting Mayli be my dress up doll!

Speaking of dolls... my GIANT son makes daintly little Mayli look like one!!!  I know he's 4 months older, but good grief he's HUGE!  It's ok, I love him anyway!  Even if I will have to special order shoes for his big feet some day.  Thank his daddy for that!

But anyway...Noodles and Milk...awesome!

Noodles & Milk Pattern Testing - Nursing Pillow Cover

I had the pleasure of testing two patterns for Sabrina at Noodles and Milk!  The first one I made is the Nursing Pillow Cover (aka Boppy cover).  This pattern was wonderful, easy to understand, the project was easy to make, and it fits like a snuggly little Boppy glove!  I totally recommend it!  The pattern is still in the testing stage, so it's not available in her shop yet, but once it is, snatch one up!  This would make an awesome baby shower gift that you could coordinate to the mommy's theme or favorite colors.  I made mine out of pink minky dot fabric and a birdy design flannel by Dena Designs for Fabric Traditions.  I'm not sure what it's called, but I'm sure it's something like Super Cute Birdies and Flowers!  It's girly, I know, but I'm not nursing Harry anymore so WHATEV! :)  Hope you like it - Noodles and Milk - good stuff!

Kinley Loung Pants pattern testing pictures coming soon!  I just have to try them on my super cute little model Mayli.  Harry convinced me that they were just too girly for him!  He needs a sister...some day!

Snowman family

I'd like you to meet my new little snowman family :)

Mom and Dad Snowman (he looks like he should be the mayor of a snowman town!)

The floofy hat gang

The earmuff crew

And last but not least, the not so perfect wobbly eye twins :)

I made these little guys for the craft show we're doing, and I must say, I am absolutly in love with them! They're so stinkin' cute! I'll be sad to see them go, but then I'll be able to create more little snowman friends :)

Just thought I'd share :)
