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
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
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
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
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
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.
