Fabric Bunting

I’ve never made a fabric bunting before so I was excited when a customer placed an order for one.  One side of the bunting was yellow and blue, with the other side was blue and brown.  The bunting was duel purpose; one side for the baby shower and the other side for the nursery. 

I mixed and matched different patterned fabrics from Joann’s.  I added super thin interfacing to each triangle piece of fabric and then sewed the two pieces together.  The triangles where sewed to double fold bias tape that I made myself.  Not a super fast project but worth the time.  If you don’t know how to sew, you could use Wonder Under Fusible Web to adhere the two fabric pieces together and then possibly a little glue for the bias tape or more Wonder Under. 

Puppies in the Park Crib Set

I have made another baby boy crib set and I was able to get some pictures of this fabulous nursery.  I love the theme of this nursery; “Puppies in the Park”  The soon to be parents are beagle lovers and wanted to incorporate the beagle into the design of the room- a job well done, just a few hints here and there without being too overwhelming.  

The mom to be picked out fabrics from the Backyard Baby Collection by Patty Sloniger for Michael Miller.  I sewed up the complete bedding set, curtain, bobby cover, changing pad cover and additional pillows.

And finally some pictures of the nursery … Lovin’ this room!

The beagle mobile is a super fabulous idea and check out those dog tail hooks!

Thanks to the mom to be for getting me such great pictures.  I love it

when everything comes together and I get to be a part of it.

Ironing Board Cover

Oh it’s the little things in life that make me happy!  … A new ironing board cover!  Yes, I iron a lot.  It’s an obsession that I have.  Go figure. I found this fabulous fabric at Hobby Lobby; another reason why it is my favorite store.

I didn’t use a pattern or a tutorial; but if you need one, check out {THIS LINK} from the blog Sew Much Good.

Western Couch Pillows

I live in Texas- where everything is bigger!  Including home décor items!  I finally got around to sewing up some new pillows for my couch.  I decided on pillows that are 24” x 24” with simple cording;  three large pillows making a statement in the living room.  I am totally diggin' on these.

Halloween Cans

Reusing food cans and decorating them with scrapbooking paper is the easiest craft ever! So simple, so quick and so cute!  I whipped these up in about 45 mins.  Add candy and tissue paper before you give it away.  {HERE} are a few that I made for Valentine’s Day.

Brown, Blue and Crimson Baby Boy Bedding Set

Remember the {BABY BOY SHOWER} that I posted about- here is the crib bedding set for the same family.  Her and husband did not want anything “baby” or juvenile looking.  I think she picked out great fabrics and everything came together as planned.  I love sewing up different color combinations and fabrics that aren’t always meant for their intended purposes; such as the corduroy crimson fabric that was used for this set.  If you live in my area, {2dalou monogramming} does great work!

Fightin’ Texas Aggie Skirts

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I am the Proudest Member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2006! Whoop! With that being said, I decided to make some Aggie skirts for football season.  Even though the Aggies aren’t in the Big 12 anymore, there is still a little bit of rivalry between Aggies and Longhorns. Being the good Aggie friend that I am, I even made a Longhorn skirt for my coworker.  Every Friday, is Aggie Friday in my office.  I will definitely be wearing one this weekend, when the Aggies BTHO Auburn! 

{{sorry for the bad picture quality, it was taken from my phone}}

Simple skirts are basically two squares sewed together with elastic at the top and hemmed at the bottom.

Brown and Blue Baby Shower

Mrs. Rooster and I hosted a baby boy shower for a good friend of ours.  Our friend’s husband is a home builder and the father of two girls; therefore, he does not want anything girly or prissy for his new baby boy.  Mrs. Rooster and I decided to keep it pretty simple with dark blue, light blue, dark brown and a deep crimson red.  Be sure to stay posted for the crib bedding set that I made.

I’m not really a fan of diaper cakes, but I think mine turned out pretty well.  ((Thanks to Cassie from {PAPER ISSUES}  She always has the best diaper cakes.)
