Baby Blanket and Pillow - Fireman Theme

So my cousin and his wife are expecting a baby boy! My cousin has loved the fire department since he was a baby himself almost. Hence the theme.

This blanket and pillow set is in a fleece fabric I purchased, so it will be nice and soft for a baby. :)



The pillow is 13 1/2" x 9 1/2"




The blanket is 30" x 37 1/2"





Thanks for looking! I love displaying what I make and I will be listing things in the near future for sale! Keep an eye out! ;)

Quilted Block Letter Wall Hanging

I have been wanting to make letters to hang on the wall spelling out my daughters name for a while now. I toyed with several different ways of doing this and this is what I finally had the urge to create!

Happy 4th of July


Hope you and your loved ones had a very happy and safe 4th of July! Ours was a quiet one. Needed a mini vacation. Planning on living it up next year! I owe my little girl some firework action. ;) Maybe with a picnic. Hmmm Picnic Blanket!!! I will get right on that ;)

My Latest Fabric Spree

So yesterday I went on a shopping spree. I needed some Mommy time. ;) Of course one of my stops was to buy fabric! lol Here are the latest patterns I purchased...



This is a nice shiny, minty green shade and the pink and white candy cane pattern is glittery. Couldn't pass this up!!


Loved this for Halloween!


A shiny patriotic fabric! Had to grab a few yards of this ;)

My daughter is starting school this year so I have been loving the school-type patterns! This I loved with the apples, letter graphs and the fabric is shiny and there is glitter on the apples. Cannot wait to use this!

My First Handmade Dress - Results

So here it is....The inspiration was a pillowcase dress, though this wasnt from a pillowcase. I used raw fabric and some embellishments. I love the way it looks though I think next time I will be changing how it ties on. The ribbons on the shoulders keep slipping off.

Overall, I think it's pretty! Thanks for looking!
