Valentines Day Boxes

2012-02-11T15:13:00.000-06:00

I found these little favor boxes on the clearance rack at Michael's a few years ago. I didn’t know what I was going to do with them at the time but since they were red, I knew I could use them for Christmas or Valentine’s Day. I was able use them for the women’s meeting at our church.

I added a little ribbon with a scallop cut from my Cricut. The image of the quote is from Crafts and Sutch, {HERE}. I scaled down the image and then used my circle punch to cut it out.

Fabric Tutu

2012-01-30T06:30:00.004-06:00

I did not make this …. But I just had to show it off. Mrs D is so creative and is always fabulous stuff but she cannot seem to update her blog. So I will just post her stuff on my blog! LOL Isn’t this just the cutest?!

Texas A&M Subway Art

2012-01-27T08:15:00.000-06:00

I have really been wanting to make subway art for quite sometime but if I was going to make subway art, I wanted it to be very original. When I found out that Mrs P was going to do Baby P’s nursery in a Texas A&M theme, I knew a piece of subway art was going to be perfect for his room.

I purchased a piece of 12” x 4’ wood, spray painted it, and then rubbed the edges with a StazOn ink pad. I ordered vinyl from Shannon over at {Grunged, Glittered, n’ Branded}. If your are looking for a vinyl person, Shannon is your woman! I have placed several orders with her and she has been wonderful to work with!

Texas A&M Crib Bedding and Shower Decor

2012-01-26T06:30:00.000-06:00

Remember the TAMU baby gear I showed you {HERE} …. Below is the crib blanket, dust ruffle, pillow covers, and bobby cover that I made for Mrs. P (she did not want bumper pads). I am more than thrilled about the outcome of these items! Mr & Mrs P loved everything too!

Over the weekend was the shower for Mrs. P … Here are a few of the TAMU decorations that I made. I cannot wait for Mr. Caleb to get here!

Valentine’s Day Banner

2012-01-24T06:30:00.000-06:00

I made this banner and I am really not satisfied with it … Yeah, it’s cute but it’s just kinda "blah". I am pretty sure that I am going to recycle it next year. I wish I would have used red letters for a better impact. Although, it hangs nicely on my back door.

Valentine’s Day Décor :: Candy Hearts

2012-01-22T23:45:00.000-06:00

There is a small table that sits in our office and I try to keep some type of arrangement on it at all times; usually it is themed for the current holiday. I recycled the Valentine’s day arrangement from last year {HERE} into this one. I made some paper pinwheels and I had purchased the letters a few years ago from Target’s dollar section. There is a vase inside of a vase with the candy hearts in between. I wish these whimsical arrangements photographed better … It looks so much more fabulous in person.

Pink and Black Paper Wreath

2012-01-21T06:41:00.000-06:00

I have the best Mom in the whole wide world! She makes me things …. Really, fabulous things! Check out this paper wreath that she made for me. Mom was inspired by Cassie’s wreath {HERE}. For the record, Cassie’s wreaths are fabulous!

Texas A&M Aggie Baby Gear

2012-01-19T23:01:00.000-06:00

My BFF, Mrs. P, from college is having her first baby. Yay! I am so excited for her. Mrs. P, her husband, some other friends and I all went to Texas A&M University. Whoop! Yes, we are the crazy school boasting with so much school pride that it makes you want to puke. So of course, Baby P, “IS” going to be an Aggie. I was so excited when Mrs. P asked me to make her crib bedding set with a Texas A&M theme. I haven’t finished the crib set yet but here are a few burp cloths, a paci clip and a wipe case container.

Valentine’s Day Cards

2012-01-14T06:30:00.001-06:00

Valentine’s Day projects are in full swing here at my house. I whipped up about 18 Valentine cards to mail out to my friends and family. Working on a new banner too! Should have it done in a day or two. I love working with all of this pink!!

Head over to Paper Issues to link up to the Valentine Party! {HERE}

I am a total dog lover and this bulldog with the wings, is super stinking cute! I just can’t get over how much I love it. I purchased the image from {GRAPHIQUE}, printed on cardstock and then cut out with my cirlce punch. The scalloped circles where cut from my Cricut.

I even have a little decoration on this

dress form that sits in the guest restroom.

Mini Valentine’s Day Mailbox

2012-01-13T06:30:00.003-06:00

I absolutely love anything that comes in a miniature size. When I saw this mini paper mache mailbox at Hobby Lobby, I knew had to have one. I decorated it with paper and embellishments. This little beauty will be sitting on my desk at work … Maybe someone will leave me a love note in it.

iPhone Decoration

2012-01-12T22:43:00.000-06:00

I have FINALLY upgraded my phone to an iPhone … I was kicking and screaming the whole time. Okay so I admit it, I am a little cheap and couldn’t justify paying for the data package. I have not found a super snazzy case that I really love so I decided to jazz up a plane one. A little vinyl and a few rhinestones!

A few days ago, I whipped up these burp cloths too! I have been making these for several years now and they are still very popular. Such a nice gift to give.

2012 Is Taking Off!

2012-01-06T22:01:00.000-06:00

Whoa! 2012 is flashing right before my eyes!! I have a whole list of things that I want to make for 2012; looks like I need to get busy. I already have several Valentine’s Day projects in the works. Are you already thinking of Valentine’s Day?! Also, I have some sewing orders coming in too. Going to be working on two baby bedding sets; one for a boy and one for a girl. Ack! I am so excited about them!!

Here are a few projects from last year that I never got a chance to blog about …

Here is the “thank you” card that I made for the friends and family members who gave me a Christmas gift. The card is really three giant tags that are tied together with a ribbon.

This pink and zebra baby bedding set that was ordered from an old friend. Oh how I wish you could have seen it in person. Pink is the worst color to take pictures of!! Uggh! I need a crib in my house to display this stuff – Ack! Maybe not!! No kids for me!! I made the bumper pads, crib skirt, and blanket. The crib skirt and ruffle on the bumper pads was made out of a sequin material; super shiny!!

Isn’t this the cutest! I didn’t actually make this dog bed. My BFF, Mrs. D made it for her dog “Belle Star”

I whipped up this drawstring bag for a friend’s daughter. A drawstring bag is very easy to make. I didn’t follow a particular tutorial but you can out {THIS} one over at Kitty Baby Love.

Picture Christmas Card

2011-12-23T06:30:00.000-06:00

Wishing all of my bloggin’ friends and followers a very

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

My Mom took this picture of the bullies and me. I was able to edit the photo in
Photoshop Elements & add a few digital items to the picture.

See you next year!

Gingerbread Houses

2011-12-22T06:30:00.001-06:00

Christmas Day is almost here and I haven't even made a dent in my "To Make" list for Christmas. Ack! I totally need to get on the ball for next year!! Before I know it, Valentines Day will be here. My ideas are already brewing . . .

I love making gingerbread houses! We are about to get our icing on! Here are a few we’ve made in the past.

Burlap Wine Bags

2011-12-19T06:30:00.000-06:00

I handed out about a dozen bottles of wine to coworkers and work associates. I whipped up some burlap wine bags and added a snazzy stamped tag. Another quick and easy project- my style!

Christmas Ornaments

2011-12-18T21:13:00.000-06:00

Check out these super snazzy ornaments that I made! The base of the ornament is a cardboard coaster! Can you believe that?! (Found at Michael's in the dollar bins.) I then layered it up with a snowflake ornament and some paper. Super easy and simple! I gave these four to some friends but I am going to make a few similar to these for my tree next year. Thanks to my good friend who gave me the idea for these ornaments.

Pretty Packages!

2011-12-16T06:30:00.000-06:00

I would love to show you what is inside these pretty packages!! However, the recipients have not received them yet. I like it when the wrapping looks as fabulous as the gift. I sewed up these skinny bags specifically for the item inside. Found those tags at Hobby Lobby.

Check out these super snazzy treats that Mrs. Rooster made.

Christmas Deer Head Tags

2011-12-14T06:30:00.007-06:00

Last year I purchased about 7 pairs of Crocs for all of the guys in our family (Black Friday: buy one get one free! Score!) I wanted to make a tag specifically for the guys. When I saw {THIS} image over at Graphics Fairy, I knew it would be perfect.

I edited the image in Microsoft Word and then printed on white cardstock.. Each deer head was cut out and mounted onto colored cardstock.

Christmas Trees & Decor

2011-12-11T22:05:00.000-06:00

I did not put a Christmas tree this year. Crazy, right?! I did not put up a tree because I want to redo my Christmas tree decorations. My current decorations are red and gold; which I really love, but I am tired of them. All season long, I have been thinking about making new decorations for next year. And lets not forget about hitting up the after Christmas sale at Hobby Lobby.

Even though I didn’t use my Christmas tree decorations at my house, I was able to take them to my church for the 12 foot tree and another small tree in the foyer. Decorating at the church was a ton of fun! (I made a big bow for the tree topper, but I took the picture before it was put up. Also, the tree looks WAY better in person.)

Check out those big berries! I found those at Hobby Lobby last year.

I am in love with them!! Hoping I can find something like these in brown or

bronze for next years Christmas Tree. They came on a big vine and I cut them apart.

Here are two of my favorites in my house. Reindeer are my favorite!

FA LA LA!

2011-12-06T06:30:00.000-06:00

Over Thanksgiving, my Mom was knockin’ out some Christmas projects! Check out this pin wheel arrangement with peppermints in the jar! I am lovin’ the “FA LA LA”

Christmas Banner

2011-12-04T06:30:00.001-06:00

Check out the Christmas banner that my Mom made for my aunt. I was kinda bummed that she didn’t keep it for herself; however, I know it will look fabulous in my aunt’s home. I wish the lighting in the pictures was a little better.

Be sure to check out the linky party that is happening {HERE}

Bucee’s and Carmel Popcorn

2011-12-02T06:30:00.001-06:00

Have you ever been to Bucee’s?! It is the most AMAZING gas station ever!! (These stores are generally located in the Southeastern part of Texas.) Actually, this store is more than just a gas station. I am pretty sure that I could do ALL of my Christmas shopping in this place.

Also, their bathrooms are more than fabulous! Over the Thanksgiving holiday I stopped at the one in Madisonville on I45, and there was a tenant in the bathroom directing people! Seriously!? A tenant in the bathroom!!

Buccee’s also has caramel CAMO popcorn! Who comes up with that?! Bucee’s does!! I decided to go ahead and buy a bag of the caramel camo popcorn because my Mom and I wanted to try our hand at making some caramel popcorn. Of course, we decided to die ours red and green!! {HERE} is the recipe we used. This stuff is super easy to make! Pretty delicious too! Go ahead and plan to make twice as much as you think you will need. Mom and I made a double batch and then we had to make another double batch because we at so much!

Justin Bieber Stockings & More

2011-11-30T22:36:00.000-06:00

Back when I was making the Justin Bieber {PILLOWS}, I purchased enough shirts to make a few Justin Bieber Christmas Stockings! I cut up the shirt and added interfacing the back of the shirt to avoid the tshirt fabric from stretching while sewing. I have two of them in my Etsy shop {HERE}.

Here are a few Christmas stockings that I made a few years back before I started blogging. Who says Christmas stockings have to be made out of Christmas fabric?!

Burlap Christmas Stockings

2011-11-20T21:12:00.000-06:00

If you remember, in the beginning I really wasn’t a fan of burlap … I thought it looked kinda hokey (and white trashy). However, now that I have worked with it a few times, I have grown to love it. I knew I wanted to try out some burlap stockings for this Christmas season. I am lovin’ how they turned out; the leopard with the burlap looks super snazzy. Also, I am wanting to possibly add some freezer paper stenciling to them. Maybe a big monogram?! They need “something” just not sure what …

Some are listed in my Etsy Shop {HERE}

High School Reunion Vases

2011-11-14T06:30:00.000-06:00

Last month I was asked to make about 10 table centerpieces for my high school reunion. Of course, I said yes! Our colors were black and red & our mascot was the falcon. I knew I wanted to use some of those big feathers in the arrangements. I my mind, I wanted to use about 6-10 for each arrangement, but I just couldn’t get the arrangement to look “right” … So I went with just one feather per arrangement and staggered them at different heights. (I almost had a craft “fail” ….)

Made For Others …

2011-11-13T15:32:00.000-06:00

I am always thrilled to get pictures from my customers, showcasing the items that I’ve made. So here are a few …

Fall Table Runner and Decor

2011-11-10T23:42:00.000-06:00

Back in the summer I spotted some super fabulous fabric at Joanns’s and I knew it would be perfect for a fall table runner. Ever since, I have been anxious to put it on the table. I am in love with this fabric! Over the past month, I have been so busy that I almost didn't even get a chance to put out my fall décor. Every year I try to make at least one super nice home décor item … this year, it was the table runner. Swoon ….

The pumpkin topiary, ribbon pumpkins, and my fall table decoration are my favorites.

Halloween Baby Food Jars

2011-11-02T07:43:00.002-05:00

I am a bloggin' bum!! I have been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to sit down and blog. This holiday season is definitely going to be a busy one. This weekend and I am going to try to organize all of my pictures and get some blog posts going on. I know Halloween has come and gone but here are some treat jars that I made.

I started with a few baby food jars (original label removed) and black licorice; however, you can use any type of jar and candy. I simply glued a piece of black cardstock to the top of the jar and then I hot glued some eyelash trim around the edge of the lid. Add a Halloween label and BAM! You are done! Seriously, it was that easy!! Literally, this project only took me about 10 minutes.

I found my labels on the clearance last year, made by Martha Stewart. However, you can still find something similar {HERE} at Joann’s or Michael's. Even if you cannot find them on sale, they are still pretty cheap.

I think this is a great Halloween treat idea for your child's classroom or even your coworkers. You can mix up this idea for any holiday.

Door Knob Décor: Halloween

2011-10-02T06:30:00.001-05:00

While I was making cards, I had few extra door knob hangers left over from {THIS} project. My Halloween creative juices where really flowing that day … I got a banner coming up too! I made the door knob decorations similar to my {HALLOWEEN CARDS} I am going to send these out to a few friends instead of a card.

My Mom is going to put this on her apothecary jar. Like she did {HERE}.

Super Fab Tassels: Texas Sized

2011-09-28T23:04:00.000-05:00

My Aunt K & Aunt G came from Ohio to visit a few weeks ago. Mom was telling me about these tassels they made and honestly, I was like yeah … yeah … yeah … I knew they would be awesome but I wasn’t expecting what she brought me. Whoa! I was totally blown away!! These tassels are more than fabulous!!

They used the instructions from Hobby Lobby {HERE}; however, they wanted their tassels to be “Texas Sized” & decided to use a water bottle as the middle of the tassel. Once all of the fabric strips/ribbon were adhered, they added all kinds of junk jewelry, rolled flowers, or just whatever. I can’t wait to make my own but I am lucky because Mom gave me the blue one. What a great way to use up fabric scraps and any kind of other junk.

Notice the size?! My window is 5 feet tall! Definitely a “Texas Sized Tassel”

YES! That is doll hair!! Crazy right?! I still LOVE it!

Halloween Cards

2011-09-25T06:30:00.001-05:00

Last weekend my Mom came up for a visit. She is the best! Why?! Because she altered and hemmed, every single pair of slacks that I own .... I own about 25-30 pair. I've lost a little weight & have dropped a pant size. I cannot afford to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe for work. Also, she is awesome because she is the one who actually purchased the {MINI CLOCHE} for me! She rocks!

We also whipped up our Halloween cards. I am really proud of us; it seems like we get better every year. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this paper from Canvas Corp; I bought the big ‘ol pack from Hobby Lobby. Doesn't the harlequin pattern and damask patter look amazing?! I inked up the edges with some Tim Holtz ink and used my Cricut to cut out the images; we also used some stamps. The pictures really do not to the cards any justice … just sayin’.

Be sure to head over to PAPER ISSUES!

The Halloween link party starts Oct 1st and runs all month!

Nursery Letters: Pink and Brown

2011-09-23T06:30:00.002-05:00

I made the pink and brown {DIAPER BAG} for my cousin and I also made her some custom letters for the nursery. I didn't want the traditional floating letters that are wooden ... I wanted something with a wee bit more pizzazz & something that made a statement. I purchased some cheap pictures at Dollar Tree for a $1 each and covered them with patterned paper and then I added the letters.

Don’t you just love the way she hung the letters? They definitely have the “pizzazz” I was going for. I am lovin’ the piece of metal art above the letters (I have it in my house too!). AMAZING! Everything looks so stinkin' cute.

Spider Under Mini Cloche

2011-09-22T22:25:00.000-05:00

Last weekend I went to a local shop called Serendipity. Ack! This place has the most fabulous home décor items. I wanted to purchase everything in this store or maybe even live there. I will definitely be shopping there again. I purchased this mini cloche with a stand; oh how I love mini things. I placed an oversized fake spider under the cloche. I love the way it looks for Halloween.

Check out the picture below; I need this print for my home! Serendipity has it and I would totally be purchasing it if I had a place for it. My house has very traditional pieces mixed with typical western décor along with vintage western pieces and a few random western décor pieces. This would totally fit in; wish I had more wall space!

Picture via Serendipity’s Facebook page.

Halloween Test Tubes

2011-09-18T23:06:00.000-05:00

You might have missed me over at {Every Creative Endeavor} last week. I shared some test tube Halloween treats. Remember those test tube {Valentine favors} that I made last year? They were such a big hit and I really wanted to make some for Halloween. A few weeks ago I walked into my scrapbooking store and spotted test tubes like {THIS}. I snagged four of them for a $1 each. Also, I have seen some test tubes made by Martha Stewart, you can find them at Joann's Fabrics. This project is quick, easy and barely uses any supplies. You could up a ton of these in no time. A little bit of paper, some scrap trim , a mini tag, and fill up with candy ... BAM! You are done!

{HERE} are some Halloween favors that I made last year.
Be sure to head over to {Every Creative Endeavor}to check out
the FALL FEVER going on during the whole month of September.

Diaper Bag: Pink & Brown

2011-09-16T07:24:00.002-05:00

I am super excited that my cousin is finally having a baby girl! She currently has two boys and this new little girl is going to be the Princess of the family. I made a pink and brown diaper bag to go with the baby’s color scheme.

I know everyone is always wanting a tutorial … But I stink at tutorials. However, I like to use patterns instead of following someone else’s tutorial. Once I master the pattern, then I modify the pattern to my specifications.

Flower Cupcake Toppers

2011-09-13T06:30:00.000-05:00

One more cupcake for the road ….

I made these cupcake toppers using Grafix’s vellum … For some reason their vellum cuts a 100% better than any other vellum that I have tried to put through my Cricut. I layered the topper with cardstock and the vellum. Bent up the petals a little bit for a 3D effect.

New Blog Design

2011-09-09T07:44:00.001-05:00

Getting my new blog design today! Whoop!! I am getting a favicon!! Super excited!! Kim over at Seven Thirty Three is AWESOME!! Go check her out! (She must be a mind reader, seriously!)

Scrabble Tiles & Idea Words

2011-09-09T06:30:00.000-05:00

It seems that Scrabble tiles are all the rage these days. I heart them too! I picked up this “Queen Bee” Scrabble tile holder at the {ROUND TOP ANTIQUES FAIR} this last spring- super fabulous place! If you live in Texas, you should make the trip this Fall. The tiles are actually glued onto the Scrabble holder tray. I have this sitting on my desk at work and there isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t get a comment on it. This is such a great gift idea. Cheap too!

Below the picture is a list of words that can fit onto the Scrabble tile tray. I didn’t copy this list. I actually thought of it on my own. LOL I have to much time on my hands!

Mini Fall Burlap Banner

2011-09-07T06:30:00.001-05:00

I am so really for fall! I love the cooler weather, Fightin’ Texas Aggie football and the holidays that are coming up. I was whipping up a custom burlap banner just like my {SWEETS BANNER} and for some reason, burlap makes me think of fall. Since my creative juices where flowing, I decided to whip up a mini fall banner. I’m not to sure where I am going to hang it but I’m sure I can find a place … Possibly on my living room armoire.

Who Needs A Cupcake?

2011-09-05T06:30:00.002-05:00

Who needs a cupcake?

Homemade cupcakes. Cupcake toppers were made with my Cricut and circle punch. Purchased the cupcake wrappers at Micheal's and then glued on the flower.

E-Reader Case

2011-09-03T06:30:00.000-05:00

I am pretty sure an e-reader is the best thing since sliced bread. Last year for Christmas I received one from my boss and I FINALLY downloaded a book on it. I do not like clutter or having a million romance paperbacks cluttering my house, so this is the perfect item for me.

When I was working on the {BEDDING SET} I had a little bit of scrap fabric left over, so I decided to whip up an e-reader case. This is one of my favorite fabrics from HL. Click {HERE} for a tutorial from {ONE PEARL BUTTON}.

Sinners and Saints Welcome

2011-09-01T06:30:00.001-05:00

Not only is my boss, a loan officer, he is also an ordained pastor and runs his youth program at his church … due to his status everyone feels the need to come to him for a confessional and advice. He never passes judgment on anyone, so when I came across the verbiage “SINNERS & SAINTS WELCOME” I knew I had to use it. Once again, I used {COMPUTER GRAFIX} blank transparencies that you can print on.

I placed the adhesive transparency onto one of those

cheap plastic frames and then inserted a piece of cardstock.

Birthday Party Banners & Cupcake Toppers

2011-08-30T22:13:00.000-05:00

I love making banners! A customer ordered birthday banners & cupcake toppers for her son and niece who are having a joint birthday party. She sent me invitations for each child and asked me to mix the boy and girl colors with out it looking too girly for the boy but yet, still girly enough for the girl. I decided to go with the orange as the “common” color to tie it all together.

Did you know you can run crepe paper through your ruffler foot on your sewing machine! Yep! That is what I did. Once the crepe paper was ruffled, I then glued it to the back of the circles.

I used my Cricut to make the cupcake toppers and then used my circle punch to cut out the words that I printed from my computer.

Zebra Aprons

2011-08-28T06:30:00.000-05:00

We all know how much I love making aprons and I was super anxious to get started an order for Mom and Daughter zebra aprons. Zebra is one of my favorite prints of all time. Aprons make great gifts for all occasions. Check out {THIS LINK} for 40+ free apron patterns and tutorials.

Grafix Custom Signs:Queen Bee and Rhinestones

2011-08-27T06:30:00.001-05:00

I was on FB and my BFF commented on another friends status, she said “When In Doubt Add Another Rhinestone. –Dolly Parton” This couldn’t be more fitting for a girl who lives in Texas and crafts. Rhinestones make EVERYTHING better!

A little scrapbooking paper, a round piece of wood, {GRAFIX} blank transparencies, and rhinestones … make a super cute little sign for anyone who likes a little bling. The best part of this project … I didn’t have to buy anything! I already had all of these supplies.

I am on a sign making spree and in a super girly mood! Who doesn’t like to be called “Queen Bee” Once again, I used the {GRAFIX} blank transparencies for the wording- seriously, you need to go get some of this stuff. I used {GRAFIX} vellum layered with solid cardstock to create the flowers. I was able to cut out the flowers with my Cricut.

Grafix Custom Signs: Halloween and Name

2011-08-25T00:26:00.001-05:00

I was given the opportunity to use {GRAFIX} products and OMG! This stuff rocks!! I am in love with the {COMPUTER GRAFIX}. Computer Grafix blank transparencies can be ran through laser or ink jet printers to print your own custom designs. (So happy they can be ran through laser printers, because I do not have an ink jet printer.) Also, this product comes with and adhesive backing, which was the perfect product to create a few decorative signs that I have been on my crafting to-do list.

I purchased some pieces of wood at HL, painted them up, drilled a few holes for a wire hanger, then created my design and printed it! BAM! I was done! I am super excited with my results and I am definitely going to whip up a few more signs.

Brown & Blue Cupcakes

2011-08-24T06:30:00.001-05:00

Yes, I am still on a cupcake making spree!! I can’t help myself!! I am getting better and better at making the icing “perfect” on top of the cake; as well as, not overfilling the cupcake pan. These cupcakes are the best ones that I’ve made. They are all consistent with each other.

Baby Headband Flowers

2011-08-23T00:26:00.000-05:00

I am super stoked about my cousin having a baby girl! I made the little princess a few flowers for some headbands using my “easy flower technique” {HERE}. Basically, you take apart a fake flower, add a rhinestone in the center and add a clip to it so it can be clipped onto the headband.

Damask Tote Bag

2011-08-10T06:45:00.000-05:00

One of my friends wanted a really big ‘ol tote bag. She ordered and I delivered … A huge black and white damask tote bag with a monogrammed “K”. This is by far, the largest tote bag that I have ever made. I have to admit, it was little challenging due to the size. I didn’t use a pattern and we all know that I stink at tutorials.

Paisley and Zebra Bedding

2011-08-08T00:13:00.002-05:00

I am so proud of this bedding order that I completed and it was so much fun to sew up. Oh how I can’t wait to have kids one day. They will have the most rockin’ bedrooms ever.

These pictures are taken in my guest room and I am hoping that I can get some pictures of this bedding in the little girls room. Not to brag on myself, but these pictures do not even give this bedding set any justice. It looks way nicer in person.

I sewed up a duvet cover, (2) euro shams, (2) regular pillow shams, (2) throw pillow covers, and a dust ruffle.

Cleaning Cupcake Pans

2011-08-03T23:17:00.000-05:00

My cupcake pans have taken a beating over the past few weeks … they were getting pretty nappy. {Under the Table and Dreaming} showcased {THIS} dryer sheet idea on her Facebook page. You read that right! DRYER SHEETS! I cleaned my cupcakes pans with dryer sheets and they look a million times better. I didn’t even have to scrub very hard and it was very quick.

Aprons!

2011-08-02T06:45:00.003-05:00

Oh how I love making aprons! I think they make a great gift for all types of occasions. Two years ago I made about 18 of them for Christmas gifts. Easy to personalize with fun fabrics and not very costly. Recently, I made four of them for a customer who was giving them away as hostess gifts. Aprons are a great beginner sewing project for anyone who is feeling apprehensive about sewing.

Cupcake Icing

2011-07-31T14:49:00.000-05:00

I am still trying to perfect my icing recipe and trying to practice getting the icing on the cupcake absolutely perfect. I have come to find out that you can alter the icing {RECIPE} any way you want. I have added cream cheese, liquid coffee creamer, sour cream, whipping cream, and you could probably even add in yogurt if you wanted too. I like adding in liquid coffee creamer because it gives the icing a rich vanilla taste but only add in a a little; however, if you add too much, just keep adding in more confectioners sugar. I know with time, that I will get better at applying the icing to the cupcake. These are red velvet with cream cheese icing.

I work for a mortgage company inside of the building of {KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY};
I felt it was only appropriate to make some of the real estate agents
cupcakes that were personalized.

Still Sewing ...

2011-07-28T13:07:00.001-05:00

I have been missing for quite some time now ... However, I have been sewing and sewing and sewing. I am currently working on a bedding order for a little girl's room. I am in love with the fabric selection!! Oh my, I can't wait to get it finished and see it in the bedroom.

Pink, Brown and Green Room Decor

2011-07-22T06:45:00.006-05:00

I was super excited when I was able to make some décor for a little girls room. Check out the fabric selection! Isn’t it fabulous?! I didn’t use a pattern to make any of these items; I looked up all of the sizes online and used my rotary cutter.

I made a dust ruffle, (2) standard pillow shams, (2) euro shams, (2) throw pillow covers, and a set of curtains. The customer purchased an ivory duvet to go with the items that I made.

I know the picture isn’t too great because all of the pillows aren’t in the covers, and it’s not actually in the room. I am hoping that I can get some pictures of the room.

Cupcakes and More Cupcakes

2011-07-20T06:45:00.002-05:00

I have been on a cupcake making spree! Mainly because I have been trying to master the fluffy icing that comes on cupcakes when purchased in the store. I finally found a recipe that I like and it is easy to manipulate. I used the recipe below. I have modified the recipe with cocoa powder and cream cheese. Apparently, you can modify this recipe with other ingredients such as heavy whipping cream too.

Also, you have to use a HUGE icing tip! I don’t remember the exact name of the one that I purchased at HL but it is 2" long with a 3/4" opening. It worked like a champ! I am pretty proud of myself … Onto “perfecting” the icing recipe for the perfect taste.

Icing Recipe:

2 sticks of unsalted butter

1/2 bag of powdered sugar

vanilla extract

I didn’t use the giant tip on these polka dot cupcakes.

Brown and Blue Baby Bedding

2011-07-18T06:45:00.000-05:00

Remember the custom baby bedding order that I made {HERE}. I was able to get a few pictures from the customer via her cell phone. Everything looks so stinkin’ cute in the nursery. I can’t wait to do another baby bedding order.

Personalized Sign: Letter “L”

2011-07-03T05:50:00.000-05:00

Awhile back I made this “L” sign for my Mom. I used an old picture that I painted over and purchased a wooden L. I used scrapbooking paper and other odds & ends to jazz it up. I really enjoy making easy personalized gifts like this for people. Remember the “A” that I made for Mrs. Rooster {HERE}.

Personalized Baby Food Containers

2011-07-01T22:32:00.000-05:00

Have you seen these baby food containers at HL? When I saw them, I knew I had to make some for Baby Carly. They even have other containers, like coffee cups, paper weights and etc. Super easy and super cute! My kind of project.

Train Case

2011-06-29T05:50:00.002-05:00

One of my Mom’s coworkers revamped this train case for a birthday gift. I would love to get a handmade gift like this from one of my coworkers. She painted the train case and then Modge Podge’d vintage pictures on it. I think it turned out super fabulous! I purchased one a while back at the Goodwill and now I totally want to redo mine. I am inspired!

Christmas In July

2011-06-26T23:11:00.000-05:00

I am feeling like a champ today! My Christmas cards are DONE! The Christmas season is such a busy time of year and I like to enjoy every minute of it. Last year, I had made my cards in the summertime and I was so glad that I did. I was able to get so much more Christmas crafting squeezed in. I made about 20 of them.

Coffee Filter Flowers

2011-06-24T05:50:00.000-05:00

My Mom made these super cool flowers out of coffee filters! I think they turned out pretty cool. She used chalk to color the coffee filters, mixed in some tulle and rhinestones for a finished look. They are a little too messy looking for me but I like the idea of using of coffee filters.

Personalized Bracelets

2011-06-22T05:50:00.001-05:00

I have seen these bracelets at HL for quite sometime and I finally caught them on sale. I printed tiny little pictures, cut them out and placed them into the bracelet squares. Then I placed clear dimensional gloss medium on top of the prints. {THIS} is what I used; I believe you can purchase this at HL too. I think this would make a great gift for a Mom/Grandma using pictures of their children. I even made on with vintage cowgirls, but I lost it the first day I wore it . . . Kinda bummed about it.

Custom Baby Bedding

2011-06-19T22:00:00.000-05:00

Finally! A friend of a friend asked me to make a complete custom baby bedding order. I don’t have any children, and I was dying to make a baby bedding set. The Mom of the order, picked out some super cute fabric for the little boy and the monogramming with brown piping really made the bedding look even more fabulous.

What did I make?
(3) sheets
blanket
bumper pad
(2) pillows
(2) boppy covers
curtains
crib skirt
diaper bag
diaper stacker
letters of the baby’s name

(I wish I had pictures of the bedding in the actual nursery.

I totally forgot to take a picture of the diaper stacker and the letters.)

Bra Purse

2011-06-06T21:53:00.000-05:00

My uncle is an avid sewer and is always searching around online; he finds the best stuff. He sent {THIS} to me and I just had to share with the rest of you all. I find this HILARIOUS!!! People sure do come up with the darnest things!! Although, I think it is pretty creative!

It’s a BRA PURSE! I can barely notice! I think this would be a great gift for a lingerie/bachelorette party! If you would like to make one, click {HERE} for the instructions.

Porch Spruce Up

2011-05-09T06:45:00.000-05:00

I have taken a pretty big interest in plants and sprucing up my back and front porches this spring season. Yard work and plants are a love/hate relationship with me. Plants make everything look esthetically pleasing to the eye; however, I do not have a green thumb . . . trying to get there. I really dislike mowing the yard too but I love to edge! I know, it’s crazy! Here is what I have been working on.

THE BACK PORCH

I have to have pillows. I am one of those crazy pillow people!

I found this bench in Round Top for a steal and then I made the bench pad & pillows.

I have two single chairs that I found at Sam’s last year.

I am debating on rather or not I should get more of these planters.

I think I want one for the front porch railing too!

THE FRONT PORCH

Clean, simple with a touch of jazzyness . . . Totally my personality.

I had several small flower pots out front but I wasn’t feeling it with them. I really feel like this planter gives me that statement that I am looking for with out looking cluttered. I actually grew those caladiums from bulbs and the azaleas (I think that is what they are.) in front are from seeds! I am so proud of myself.

Mother’s Day Card

2011-05-07T18:27:00.001-05:00

Ack! I have been such a bloggin’ slacker! My crafty mojo was gone for about a week or two. I don’t know what my deal was. I AM BACK! Super excited about some things that I have in the works. I even have an order to do a complete baby boy bedding set. It is going to be awesome; the Mom really picked out some super fab fabrics.

Mother’s Day is tomorrow and I made my Mom this card. I didn’t really give her an actual present this year because I will not be seeing her. I got her a GF to Lowe’s so she could buy a chandelier for the guest bathroom that she is redoing. When I go home, I will be sure to get some pictures.

Three Topiaries

2011-04-28T20:59:00.000-05:00

Last year I made {THESE} topiaries to sit in my kitchen windowsill. Oh how I still love them! I really like them because they look good for all seasons. I have yet to find something that will replace them. I keep thinking that I need to add a bow or something . . . What do you think?

Styrofoam balls from the clearance aisle, floral foam and moss is from DT, spray painted $.69 pots and free sticks from the yard. Cheap & fabulous home decor. I am totally diggin’ this DT moss; I need to find some other uses for it.

Eyeglass Case

2011-04-23T07:05:00.001-05:00

I am officially getting “old” . . . I had to get glasses. Actually, I am not old, the computer ruined my eyes. I whipped up this eyeglass case out of some fabric remnants. This would make a great summertime gift for your friends to put their sunglasses in. Hmm . . . Might need to whip up a few more of these.

We all know I stink at tutorials. {HERE} is one from Sew Many Ways. Her tutorial is exactly how I made this one.

Bible Tote Bag

2011-04-21T07:05:00.001-05:00

I have a bag for EVERYTHING! I am just weird like that and it helps me to keep everything organized so I don’t forget anything. I recently made a new mini tote bag to carry to church on Sunday. I am stocked on pens, highlighters, sticky tabs, gum, notepad and of course, my Bible. Grab it and go on Sunday morning!

Need a tutorial? {HERE} at Skip To My Lou. It is exactly how I make all of my totes. I adjust the size according to what I am going to put in it. It leaves out interfacing; you should definitely add some if you want your bag to be a little more stiff. I also buy premade nylon webbing at the fabric store; they offer a little more stiffness to the handle.

Fabulous Rubber Boots

2011-04-20T07:05:00.000-05:00

Spring is in full swing and so are the spring fashion accessories. Have you seen the super cute rubber boots? And have you seen their PRICE TAGS- outrageous! Most them are a little more than what my budget wants to spend on a pair. Apparently, my Mom thinks the same thing too because she has a regular old black pair that she wears out in the country. She can blow through a pair of rubber boots in a year or the dogs grab them off the porch for their chewing pleasure. Mom is genius (we all knew that) and used my easy flower technique {HERE} to add a little fabulousness to her boots. How do you think they look? I am thinking that they look pretty snazzy! Maybe some spray paint? I wonder how that would hold up . . .

Red Velvet Cookies

2011-04-19T07:12:00.002-05:00

Have you seen the amazing blog called {WHIPPERBERRY}? They have some of the best recipes. I tried their {RED VELVET COOKIES} – IMPRESSIVE! I am totally lovin’ how they are made from a cake mix. These cookies were a big hit at my bible study last week. I will definitely be baking them again.

Peepin’ Crazy!

2011-04-18T07:05:00.000-05:00

I know everyone in blog land has seen the super cute Peep printable from {Eighteen 25}. I made 30 of them for the real estate agents in my office building. I thought it would have taken me a long time to do that many, but really, it did not take long at all.

Super Busy!

2011-04-17T21:09:00.002-05:00

Ack! I feel like my plate is full! It's a busy home buying season which affects my job, the yard needs mowed all the time, and my Etsy shop with custom orders, is keeping me occupied from my blog. However, I am NOT complaining- just wanted to let you know where I was. Here's what I've been workin' on.

Bieber Fever!

Here are some new items in my Ety shop. {HERE}

Dirty Laundry Bag

2011-04-11T07:05:00.000-05:00

I seem to travel a lot . . . And I always have this phobia of my clean clothes touching my dirty clothes while in the suitcase. I also have this phobia of the hostess or someone seeing my dirty underwear; I know, I am crazy! I took about a yard and a half of fabric to make a drawstring “DIRTY” bag for traveling. Like duh?! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?!

More Bieber Fever!

2011-04-09T07:05:00.001-05:00

I posted my {ORIGINAL} Justin Bieber pillow on my personal FB page and then I got an order for TWO more! Yay! Guess the “Bieber Fever” really is running rampant through adolescent girls. LOL

He’s totally checking me out as I write this post! :)

Vinyl Cups

2011-04-08T07:05:00.000-05:00

My two BFF’s from college came into town a few weeks ago for a girls weekend. They came into town due to my drama a while back and I really wanted to give them a token of appreciation. When I spotted some colored insulated cups at WalMart for only $5! I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. They were perfect for both of the BFF’s because they are both trying to drink more water.

I jazzed up the cups with vinyl and rhinestones. Of course, they are hand wash only. You can check out some other water bottles that I jazzed up last year {HERE}.

Mrs. Rooster’s daughter can’t go to softball practice

with a plain ‘ol water bottle! I found this at the dollar

store and jazzed it up!

Actually, I made this cup first; for one of my coworkers.

I like playing around with small pieces of vinyl using my

Cricut. Not sure if I would ever try to do anything really large.

Paper Mache Dress Forms

2011-04-06T07:05:00.002-05:00

I am super dee duper stoked about how this project turned out. My Mom came to visit over the weekend so we could whip up this project that we have been talking about forever. I won’t flap my jaws too much- I will just show you.

Aren’t they fabulous! I have always been in love with the dress form look.

Surprisingly, these were super easy to do and since they aren’t huge, you can

use a lot of scraps. We made a total mess of my craft room- using sewing

supplies, paper crafting supplies, and everything else. Anything goes!

Yes, I just had to use an English Bull Terrier on the red one.

These two are Mom’s. Even though they are a totally

different style than mine, I still love them! Check out that bird

nest!! Ack! I just can’t get over how fabulous they turned out!

Yellow Egg Topiary

2011-04-04T23:03:00.002-05:00

Ack! I feel like I have been missing from my blog . . . Well, I guess that I have. The new {ETSY SHOP} is keeping me a little busy and I haven’t really felt very motivated here lately. Not sure what my deal is; can’t seem to get into the groove. However, I do have a few things in the works to share.

Remember the Robin’s Blue Egg Topiary that I made {HERE} and remember, that my Mom made one too. Well, my Mom got an order for THREE! The customer wanted yellow eggs with red speckles. WHOA! The customer totally hit the nail on the head with this one. It turned out AMAZING! I don’t know which one I like better. The yellow or the blue. What do you think? (It is missing some moss . . . DT was out . . . Mom was leaving and I needed to get a picture.)

Luggage Tags

2011-03-30T07:05:00.000-05:00

This year Mrs. Rooster’s oldest daughter is playing softball! Yay! A reason for us three to make something fabulous! We decided on baseball bat bag tags and hair bands. These are two items that can be personalized and jazzed up without costing a ton.

You can purchase plastic name badges from an office supply store; however, Mrs. Rooster found hers at Wal-Mart for less than $5 for a dozen. They come in horizontal or vertical- choose whatever one you like the best. We cut scrapbooking paper to fit the size of the plastic badge, used the Cricut for each girls’ initials and then jazzed them up with rhinestones. Gotta have the BLING! They turned out super fabulous, and for the price- you just can’t beat it. Seriously, I think we could have used scraps if we really wanted to.

The hair bands where super easy as well. We cut a several pieces of ribbon at different lengths, and then tied ALL of the ribbon to the hair band at once.

Paper Rabbit Hanging

2011-03-29T07:05:00.001-05:00

I absolutely adore the vintage Easter bunnies. I was squealing when I saw this paper pocket that my Mom made. It is so simple and so fabulous; I am pretty sure she used all scraps too! The vintage bunny is an image she found online. Oh I wish there were more hours in the day for craftin’!

Easter @ Mom’s- Paper Mache Eggs

2011-03-28T07:05:00.001-05:00

I am so jealous that my Mom beat me when it came to making these paper mache eggs! I wish she lived closer so we could get together and make more things, more often. These eggs came out so classic looking; exactly how I imagined them. They are displayed on candle sticks that sit on the dining room table. Of course, I have purchased some paper mache eggs from HL but I can’t seem to get them done. Way too many things on the crafty to do list!

Check out a few more things that are at my parent’s house. I need a house the size of theirs!

I love the way this apothecary jar looks with the blue eggs!

The table ALWAYS has a four person place setting set. Mom has a million dinner plates, chargers, napkins, place mats and etc. She is really good at mixing and matching all of the pieces together. (You're probably wondering how we eat at the table with all the "decorative dishes"? We place a paper plate on top of the “place setting” dishes! LOL)

This particular bird will forever remind me of home. Mom has had a collection of birds since before they were “cool” and popular. Under the cloche with a nest, the bird looks more fabulous and luxurious than ever.

Egg Topiary

2011-03-27T07:19:00.001-05:00

I am super excited about this next project. I would like to say that I thought of it myself but I did not; I found it over at {Let It Shine}. She has some of the most amazing topiaries and when I saw this one, I knew it would be fabulous in my home. I sent my Mom the link and she made one too! I am totally lovin’ the blue. Head on over to {Itsy Bitsy Paper} for the full picture tutorial.

Easter Bunny Peep On A Straw

2011-03-25T07:44:00.000-05:00

Before I get to my craftin' idea . . . Be sure to go to Coffee Cups & Crafts!! There is a special going on over there.

I saw this idea “somewhere” years ago or I think my Mom was telling me about it but the idea never was saved because I wasn’t blogging at the time. This is so stinkin’ easy and looks really fabulous! If you bring this idea to your Easter dinner table- your family will think you are awesome!

I found some funky straws at Target, (I think.) and stuck it

right through the middle of the peep! Takes about 5 minutes!

Guest Post: Lindy from Itsy Bitsy Paper

2011-03-24T07:05:00.004-05:00

I am super stoked to have Lindy, from Itsy Bitsy Paper, at my place to give a tutorial! Lindy is a really talented when it comes to stationary and invitations. Oh I can't wait to get my note cards in the mail that I ordered from her Etsy shop {HERE}; very reasonably priced! She is super crafty too! Be sure to check out her {BLOG} for some great ideas and inspiration.

I am Lindy, from Itsy Bitsy Paper and I'm thrilled to be here on Haley's great blog sharing a fun FREE Download for Spring with all of you. I hope you will stop by my blog someday soon and say "Hi".

I love creating "freebies" for all of you and I wanted to create a spring themed one. It is a very simple design but I hope you will add some embellishments and make it fun and colorful. It is set up for a 5x7--I printed mine on 5x7 cardstock but framed it in an 8x10 frame.

Easter Peep Arrangement

2011-03-16T22:54:00.001-05:00

I sure do love Easter peeps! Too bad I think they taste like poo! However, they are just too stinkin’ cute. You can’t have Easter without peeps. My peeps went into a vase instead of in my mouth. I paired the peeps with some jelly beans and spring like flowers. I found this huge vase on clearance at Target a few months ago. It turned out to be just the right size for this arrangement. You can check out the smaller one {HERE} that I did last year.

Time to change the subject for a moment . . . . I finally decided to go ahead and open my own Etsy shop!! {HERE)Woo hoo!! I am super excited about it. I don’t have a lot of variety in there yet, but I will add little by little. Go check it out and let me know what you think. I am my worst critic. I really hope it does good, especially since I have some super snazzy camera strap covers for under $20.

Bunny Topiaries

2011-03-16T07:05:00.000-05:00

I walked into Pier 1 the other day, just to browse around and possibly get some inspiration or ideas. My eyes went straight towards the Easter décor. I spotted the cutest bunny topiaries for ONLY $3!! I picked up two of them! I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I left Pier 1 and went to the dollar store.

(Is the word "topiaries" really a word? My spell check says no!)

The $3 bunny. Isn’t he cute? All fuzzy and fresh looking.

I purchased the blue pot from DT.

Already had some floral foam & moss on hand.

Those came from DT too! Quick, easy, cheap and super fabulous!

My kind of décor! He looks fabulous on my desk at work.

This arrangement sits on my dining room table.

I placed a bunny in the arrangement; kind of unexpected.

(I tried to change out the big arrangement for something

more “springy” but it wasn’t happening with my décor.)

The day I left Pier 1, I immediately called my Mom so she could

get in on the goods too! Here is what she came up with.

The green balls came from WM for about $3 and more moss from DT.

I think it is so awesome that two people can take the same item

and create two totally different looks. I am in love with her arrangement.

Check out these “mossy balls” that she made.

Styrofoam balls on clearance, cover with glue and

add on DT moss.

Diva Rubber Gloves

2011-03-14T07:05:00.000-05:00

I am back!! Woo hoo! Thanks to everyone who gave me some much needed words of encouragement from my "Slacker" post. It really meant a lot and I am grateful to have such caring followers. It's nice to know that there are people out there who care, even if I've never met you face to face.

This project is inspired by my BFF from college, Mrs. S. She was always wearing rubber gloves to clean & I thought she was wack! This was a super quick and easy project. Cheap too! The rubber gloves came from DT and came in several colors. I ran the fabric through my ruffler foot and then sewed the fabric onto the rubber glove. I had assumed that the rubber wouldn’t be able to feed through my machine, but actually, it worked out great! When I ran it through my machine, the rubber was on the bottom and the fabric on top.

Time for my friends to get a jump start on their spring cleaning!

Made a cute tag . . . I wanted some snazzier wording but I couldn’t come up with anything.

Feel free to right click on the image and use it for yourself.

Slacker!!

2011-03-10T10:30:00.000-06:00

I feel like such a slacker. I have totally ignored my blog for almost a week. I haven't linked up to any parties nor have I been commenting or making my rounds on other blogs. I had some really big changes happen in my life over the past week (needless to say, they weren't "happy" changes), thus, leaving my blog to suffer. I haven't even had a chance to craft; something I do every single day! Any who, I have some great things in the works and should be back ahead full steam by the weekend.

Trying Out Gum Paste

2011-03-06T07:05:00.001-06:00

Mrs. Rooster and I decided to try our hand at gum paste for her daughter's birthdays. Wow! It was so much easier to master than fondant. We purchased the mix from Michael's with a coupon. We used cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. Gum paste shapes really keep their form, unlike fondant that can stretch. The daisy flowers were placed on an egg carton that was flipped upside down. Our next plan . . . To actually sell a cake for profit.

We ended up being lazy and didn’t roll circles for the centers of the daisies.

Bieber Fever!

2011-03-05T07:05:00.002-06:00

I got a first hand experience with Bieber Fever this past weekend! Mrs. Rooster’s daughter had a Beiber Fever birthday party; we took the birthday girl and a few friends to go see the Bieber movie. And OMG! I was totally surprised at how crazy these girls are about this kid. I am pretty sure I gave the birthday girl a really awesome gift. Now she can sleep, snuggle, kiss, and carry around Justin! He can hang out with her all the time. (Showing off the cake tomorrow.)

I purchased two shirts at Walmart to make this pillow; it is actually double sided. I ironed interfacing to the shirt material so it wouldn’t stretch, and then added fabric to the shirt material to adjust for a larger sized pillow. Used the ruffler foot for a ruffle and added a flower for some embellishment. I think it turned out so fabulous! I am pretty sure I need to dig out my New Kids On The Block t-shirts so I can make one for myself – no wait, that would just be weird and I don’t think King would let me snuggle to it.
