Sunburst Curtains

My kitchen was in desperate need of some TLC... and I thought it would be good practice... so I made some curtains today. I told my sister-in-law about my project idea and she had some fabric that had been used for a different project and was kind enough to let me re-use it. It wasn't what I expected, but I still like the way it turned out. And now to see how well it works against the sun light.... tomorrow. :)

Flower Pillow

I decided to try to make a super cute pillow I saw on Make It and Love It,and with some in put from my sister in law, added some random buttons to add a little character to my pillow. :) I used left over material from the quilt I made for my son because it just so happens match my front room pretty nicely. :) I like the way it turned out and I am working on making a super bright and colorful one for my little sister to take to college with her. (I'll add pictures of hers when I'm done.)

Crocheting

I saw some super cute Butterflies that I wanted to try to crochet, but since I've only really done blanket edges in the last 5+ years, I decided to start with the flower and work my way up to a heart. They are so cute and tiny! My hook isn't technically the right size, but I think they turned out pretty good anyway. :)

Bed Spread

So I don't have a picture of the whole thing, but I do have a couple close ups. The first is a before picture, and the second one is an after picture. The bed spread is reversible so the trim is a different color on each side. (There wasn't enough at JoAnn to do it all one color, but I love the way it turned out!) I am done with the bed, and next is the couch. I will be making a couple pillows and cute throw for the couch and then on to curtains for the bathroom! :)

Pillows

So I am trying my hand at making decorative pillows for a lady that my sister-in-law is doing some Interior Design work for. I am pretty excited about how they are turning out. I love learning how to do new things! :)

Nursing Covers

So I decided that I wanted a nursing cover. It is getting a bit warm for a double layer flannel blanket, and I wanted to see how hard they were to make. I decided to look it up, and followed a tutorial by Little Birdie Secrets and it was so easy! I LOVE my new cover! It is perfect... maybe not in every way- but I love it just the same. I have now made 3. 2 for myself, and one for my sister. :)
