Mini Album

Can you tell I am in the mood for crafting again!? LOL. Suddenly I am finding all these FUN ideas and I just have to save them all here on my blog so that maybe someday I can USE them!

I am a lover of MINI ALBUMS! I think they are so fun!! This is such a cute idea for a gift album!! I am already itching to go play in my craft room!!! (too bad I have to FIND the craft room first!) The photo for this album really doesn't do the idea justice! You should watch the first few minutes of the tutorial video to really see what is so fun and creative about this album!

Hand towel apron!

AAACK!!!! Will somebody PLEASE remind me that I am NO GOOD at sewing!!!! I recently had a 'friend' fix my sewing machine for me! I really had no idea it was even broken! HA HA!! I took my machine to a group activity by request and my friends husband saw the trouble we were having with the tension on my machine. He came over and started poking around and VOILA! Who knew that he worked in a sewing machine repair department! I DIDN'T!!!! LOL. Every since then I have been ITCHING to get my machine out and see if it was really the machine... or me... that had trouble sewing! My craft room is a nuclear war zone at the moment though... so that must change first! In the mean time I just keep staking up MORE fun looking sewing projects!!!!

Ok- so on to the CUTE project I found! A HAND TOWEL APRON!!!!! When I cook or work in the kitchen I CONSTANTLY use a hand towel!! I am thinking that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this adorable apron!!!!

Fabric Pumpkins

T-shirt to Nightshirt

So Miss A. has been growing like a WEED lately!!! I can't keep this girl in clothing that fits!! One particular problem area is pajamas! Miss A. sweats while she sleeps so her pj's STINK every morning. This requires a new set of PJ's for EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK! Now considering how picky she is in her sleep wear and the fact that most sleep wear is SHRINK PRONE..... we have a problem!

I saw this tutorial a while back and shyed away from it since I am not a sewing gal. however, I am thinking now that I need to give it a go. So here is the link to the tutorial and a picture of her lovely creations. Hopefully I will be able to post some of MY lovely creations here soon!
