My hubby and I finally moved.  We have been very very busy with painting the new house, him doing a side job, and unpacking.  Please bare with me while I try to organize my life back together! :)

Crafts to Remember: Bridal Survival Kit

Monday, May 11th, 2009

I was browsing this week on the net just looking at random websites.  I came across a “Bridal Survival Kit” on 100 Layer Cake. I went to creating my own.  I bought clear bags from Michaels.  Then I placed the following into the bag:

- Bobbie pins

- Tylenol

- Wet One wipes

- Lip Balm

- Tic Tacs

- Bandaids

Lastly, I made my own label in PhotoShop.  Below is the end result:

YAY! I finally made something for myself and my husband.  I made art using art canvases, paint, scrapbooking paper and mod podge.  This will end up hanging in our master bathroom in our new house!  Hope you enjoy!

More Baby Stuff

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I continue to work on my sewing skills, which means doing and redoing a lot of stuff.  Below are some more of my current projects, which I have completed and probably not redo.

Elephant Squared Onesie

Zig Zag Elephant

I redid the elephant onesie, seen previously, with a zig zag stitch. Hopefully this will allow it to not fray at the end so much.

Zig Zag Upclose

Up close of the zig zag elephant stitch.

Sewing has definitely been a challenge to me. I often have to do other stuff and come back to it because I get so frustrated with it; however, I am determined.
