A busy Easter

About a week before Easter I started sewing like a mad woman. I made the little onesies I mentioned in the previous post and I made totes for each of my kids and a cute little owl for my baby to suck on. I made the totes with this tutorial and the owl with this one. I also made two taggie blankets with this tutorial but I never did take pictures of those. Grief! You would think it was Christmas right. Nope, just Easter. I guess I enjoy a little stress during the holidays or I'm just crazy. Maybe a little of both.Those cute fabric roses on Heidi's tote are made with this tutorial.

I love these totes although they are too big for children. I wish I would have made the dimensions smaller. However, if you are going to make one make sure you buy at least 1 and 1/4 yards not just one like the pattern suggests. I didn't have quite enough fabric for each one and had to get creative and turn to my scrap pile which made for a cuter bag though, don't you think.

Little Ties

These are a really cute and super easy baby boy gift you can make with scrap material and an hour or so of spare time.

Designing...

A baby boy quilt is so much harder for me than a girl quilt. Just saying. I don't want it to look girly but I want it to be cute. Also, after this process I'm thinking I need to make a design wall.

Siggy Sway...finally done.

All 101 blocks done, signed, and mailed just in the nick of time.

My new diaper bag!

I tried out this new tutorial on Izzy and Ivy. They have such cute stuff. You must all go check them out. I'm excited about my new tote. If I were to make it again. I would probably make more pockets since I'm using it as a diaper bag. It's sooo much cuter than my yucky old black diaper bag. Here's me trying out the fabric on my couch. What do you think? Pillows? It looks bright and fun. I need something to remind that spring is close at hand. This bag would be great as a library tote for my kids. I'm thinking possible Easter gift.

Pinks and greens

I just finished this beautiful baby quilt last night. I love the vibrant colors and all the yummy fabrics. It measures 37x41 inches. I think it will look great as a car seat cover or even a throw over the back of a rocking chair. It's nice and cuddling too because of the soft pink flannel on the back. I hope my soon-to-come niece likes it. No tutorial link this time because this quilt is all me baby!New project on the horizon. Can you guess what this awesome fabric is for? I kind of want to go buy more because I think it would be great for pillows in my living room but no, it's not for pillows.

Recipe Card Holder

My sister turned 25 yesterday and earlier this month she joined the ranks of wifedom. She was having a party in her new apartment yesterday at 7:00 and at 2:00 I finally decided what I wanted to give to her for her birthday. Just a simple recipe card holder with some tried and trued favorite recipes of mine. I hope she enjoys them.
