I have been wanting to have a knit pencil skirt for a while and keep seeing such great tutorials online for them. I finally found the one below and started looking for fabric to make some similar.
So I was looking for fabric for my sister Raya’s birthday gift, and so ended up ordering  a ton of fabric from Girl Charlee Fabrics. I am happy so far with all of the ones I got, and wanted to show you what I made with a portion of two of the fabrics.
Two weekends ago,  I was able to attend one of my sister’s Baby Showers in Nashville. I wanted a cute gift for my niece other than just the typical burp cloth, headband bows,etc. So I decided to make a quilt. I have been working on this project for a while now without her knowing about it so I couldn’t blog about my progress until now. So below is what I did.
If you are a blogger or get a lot of emails and texts, it can be somewhat annoying when you are trying to sleep. Even if you put your phone on silent it might still vibrate; I sometimes drive my husband crazy with this. I finally decided enough was enough. Some people don’t keep their cell phones in their bedrooms,but for those who use them as alarms like we do this is our only option. Here is my tutorial on how to make this pad.
So here is a tutorial that I worked on that ended up totally failing. This is one of those great examples of when you keep messing with something you sometimes do too much damage than the beginning. I wanted another cartigan and finally found some striped fabric that I liked the look of at Hobby Lobby. Below you can see how it almost turned out great,but in the end it failed.
As you can probably see from my recent posts, I have been trying to accumulate an arsenal of baby shower gifts. 🙂 I have been trying to make them in bulk that when a shower comes up, I can just pick out which colors and am good to go. I used to make the burp cloths only,but I felt 3 burp cloths just weren’t enough for one gift. I still have one type of gift I want to try and make for the gifts so I have 3 items per boy or girl gift, but I need to see whether it is worth the work that goes into it.
