Felt Lettered Christmas Pillows

I get so excited about the Christmas season that I can barely contain myself.  Last fall, while watching Aggie football I would cut out felt letters for this project; I love to watch football but I like to be multi tasking when watching any kind of TV.

I simply printed out letters onto paper to create a pattern for the letters.  I cut out the paper letters, then traced the letters onto the felt and cut out the felt.  Once I had all of my letters cut out, sewed them onto the burlap/fabric.  Trick: I hot glued the letters onto the burlap/fabric before sewing. The hot gluehelped to keep all of the letters straight while sewing.  

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes

I'm sure you've seen these before .... Minnie Mouse Cupcakes! Aren't they just the cutest?! Whipped these up for a birthday party.

T-Shirt Quilt

I'm super excited how this turned out! My friend asked me to make this tshirt quilt for a graduation gift. We used all if his tshirts from high school to complete the quilt. We even found maroon minky dot cuddle fabric for the back and I think the chevron border adds a nice touch. Such a sweet gift to give and to receive. I can't wait to get started on mine from Texas A&M.

I cut each shirt in half and then ironed on interfacing to the back. Then I cut each shirt it with my rotary cutter. Sew it up and you are done!

Burlap and Grapevine Wreath

I'm pretty sure this is one of the most amazing things that I have ever made.  I wanted a really fabulous wreath for my front door and I knew I wanted it to be burlap but I did not want the same old burlap wreath like I've seen before.  Those are cute but I really wanted something a little more over the top.  I feel like I achieved the look that was going for- burlap, grapevine, flowers, and a few feather stems.

Mini Bench Makeover :: Turquoise & Paisley

I purchased this little bench at a yard sale about three years ago.  It was the perfect size to sit right in front of my couch.  I don't have a coffee table due to the size of my living room, and I needed a place to set drinks and things like that.  Even then, I knew I wanted to paint it turquoise.  I had the perfect piece of scrap fabric that matched my living room.  Finally, after the long wait and getting around to fixing it up, it is all finished.  Perfect!

"Because of Who You Are" Signs

I made these two signs for a friend of mine that works in the same industry as me.  The quote is actually from a song.  My friend said that her and her daughter sing this song to each other; so I made one for her and one for her daughter.  How sweet? Right?  I think they tured out fabulous & I really like the quote.

Simple piece of wood from Home Depot.  Purchase pre cut, add paint and then adhere your vinyl.  I was thinking about adding a big piece of burlap ribbon for hanging, but I just couldn't decide.  I didn't want it to take away from the words and I am unsure how that might look with my friend's home decor.

Texas A&M Bean Bag

Remember the {PATCHWORK BEAN BAG}? And how super cute it was?! I still think that it is one of the most fabulous items that I have ever made.  A bean bag- such a good idea for a gift!!  When I was working on the patchwork bean bag, I knew I would be making one for Mrs. P's son.  I've already made Mrs. P's {AGGIE BABY BEDDING} and I wanted the bean bag for her son to match.  His first birthday was just right around the corner; perfect timing for coming across this fabulous idea.

  

Dinosaur "Gold Fish" Jar

The guy that I am dating eats gold fish non stop. When I found this out, I knew I wanted to make him a special jar/container for his gold fish. The mouth of the jar needed to be large enough for his hand to be able to reach inside and it needed to be able to hold one large box of gold fish. I headed to my trusty craft store, Hobby Lobby. I purchased the jar while it was 50% off and used my coupon on the dinosaur. I attached the dinosaur with screws and then spray painted the entire lid.
