Oh My!

Check out this cute Owl flash drive! I mean, it just doesn't get much cuter then this! HERE

Did I Mention I Love Owls?

Have I mentioned that I love owls....? I think once or twice right?! It's kind of annoying that owls are so popular because it makes me feel all trendy but I have been into them WAYYYYYYYYYY before you could find them any where other then thrift stores. Now you can find them at Walmart. It's nice but annoying. Any ways...I made me a wallet with some cute owl fabric I got a month or so ago. I think it turned out really cute.






Kayla LOVES her snuggy pictured here




She sleeps with it. She HAS to have it with her to sleep. That and her thumb in her mouth. So I wanted to make her a new one. Her's used to be Tyler's and it's looking pretty sad. So I made her an owl one. I think it came out cute. The blanket I made is one of the worse sewing jobs ever but that's okay. She won't know. HAHA





She was loving the button eyes and nose. I hope she'll grow to love it.

Owl Cupcakes

They didn't come out as cute as I was hoping because my vanilla icing was to warm and it ran when I put it on the cupcakes. BOOOOOOO But here are the owl cupcakes we made for Kayla's b-day tonight

For the Love of Owls

To all my owl loving peeps I have found the blog for y'all! Check it out
HERE It is SO cute! I am in love!!!

Apron Kick

I wanted to make an apron. It all started with an owl dishtowel from target. I am sure you have all seen it if you shop there. It is SO cute and I ended up with 6 of them. I bought four and my lovely niece Madison picked out the other two for me. I decided I REALLY did need to make something with at least one of them. That sent me on a search for a cute apron. I am not a girly girl but I saw the old fashioned ones that are a heart on the top and I HAD to make one. Weird right? Any ways. I freaking love how it turned out. If I ever make one again I will make the top a lot smaller because it makes my boobs look even bigger then they already are and really, I don't need that. Maybe 8 years ago but now after the kids, I'm good. haha






I have had the owl fabric for like 3 months now dying to use it. Everything I kept thinking of to use it for was summer stuff and it's got WINTER owls on it for goodness sakes so I just hadn't used it yet. I love it paired with the owl dishtowel I used as the heart and the pocket. Isn't it cute? I have an oven mitt and a pot holder to match, not that anyone will ever see that. The funny thing is now I am on am apron kick. I already have another one in the works that I can't WAIT to make. Maybe one of these days I will actually get around to it. I have too many projects going on right now. I need to focus. One is something for my husband for Valentine's day. I can't wait to get it done so I can post it in case any one wants to copy it because I think it is going to be hysterical. Hopefully it turns out that way and doesn't come out lame. I needed embroidery floss though and I don't have any and haven't gone any where the last two weeks that carry it. Tomorrow I am taking the kids shopping and we are going to get some. WOO HOO

Aside from that I have also done some hair clips recently.



I absolutely LOVE the way the zebra one with the red flower came out! LOVE IT! Hopefully my friend likes them too.




I also did this owl dress for Kayla. I got this owl onesie at a Kid to Kid place in Waco for 50 cents. It still fits Kayla width wise but is too short for her. So I took some more of that lovely pink material I have been using a lot lately ( for any one who is wondering just how much of that pink crap I bought, it was a sheet set so I have A LOT of it ) and made a skirt, gathered it and then sewed it on. I think it came out adorable and can't wait to see it on her. Her birthday is in two more days and I could just cry. That first year just went by WAY too fast!!!

Purses

I am OBSESSED with making purses!! Here are my latest

For my SIL Stacie





I made this for her ON Christmas! haha It only took me two hours tops and I think it turned out really cute. I LOVE the fabric I used for the top and inside. I have had it forever but it is stretchy and so I hadn't figured out what to do with it yet.

Then I made this diaper bag for myself



And guess what I made it out of? ( and guess what? I have another one in a fabric that is WAY cute so I can make something else out of it! )




I took the sleeves off to make the bottle holders on the side



And the stretchy pocket on the inside of the bag. I separated it by stitching in down the middle.



Then I took the existing pocket from the shirt/cover thing and put it on the other side of the inside of the bag!




I LOVE how the bag turned out but I am not in love with the bag itself, if that makes any sense. I made it a little too big and I am not IN LOVE with the pattern on the material. I like it a lot, I just don't LOVE it. But for it being my first diaper bag and pretty much winging it, I love it. It was pretty easy too. Now I just need to make a cute one out of material I LOVE and figure out if any one wants this one.....Any takers?


Then I made a purse I AM in love with. I don't know how often I will use it because the fabric is LOUD and its a smaller purse but check out how cute it is






The inside is SOFT! Cody turned it inside out and rub his face with it. heehee Now I have to make a purse for my sister in law Lauren, a purse for my hoodrat Stacy and a diaper bag for my bestie Sarah! Yeah

I know it seems like I have been a busy sewer...Not really. This was all during Christmas or the week after. Cody left on Monday and the only thing I did this week was this:




Both I did by hand while watching TV after the kids went to bed. I really want to get to a place where I feel like I am good enough that I can maybe sell some things. The hair clips I could totally sell now because there really isn't much to those, but the sewing makes me nervous. Any ways the one owl thing is a holder for my phone which turned out cute but I made it slightly too short so I need to redo it one of these days and then the other is a beanie I made for Kayla. I LOVE how that one turned out BUT It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too big. I decided to just wait until next year instead of trying to fix it. It will still be cute next year because I KNOW I will STILL love Owls then too. :) I made it out of a sweater my friend Sarah gave me. Don't worry, I asked permission before I cut it up. She just laughed at me and then wondered what I was going to do with it. I LOVE IT!
