Large Fabric Basket!!
I made this adorable fabric basket/bag for my sister-in-law for christmas. Next to a wipie box so you can see the size, its big! I saw this small basket tutorial online and thought it was great. I wanted a basket much bigger so I made my own pattern to create this large bag. My sister-in-law is going to use it as a church bag because she always has so much stuff to take but didn’t have a bag big enough to carry it all. Maybe I will try to make a tutorial for this basket:) Anyone interested? To view more please visit my blog!

Homemade Baby Spider Costume!
This is a super easy homemade spider costume for baby!! This is what you will need….Black hooded sweater, black pants, soft black material that matches (enough for 4 legs and a back), pillow stuffing, flat back googly eyes. You’ll need a sewing machine and a needle and thread. I cut the legs out of fabric, about the size of the arms on the sweater, sew them together and sew a circle at one end (that part is completed in the picture below). Then you will cut a big circle for the back. First stuff the legs with stuffing, and sew them onto the back of the sweater 2 on each…

Bag Embellishment!
For our ward enrichment service project we got 25 fred meyer reusable grocery bags donated. So I decided to embellish them with cute puppy faces. I just cut 3 ovals out of felt for each face and a little white for the patch. I used a hot glue gun to attach them to the bag (less is better, it doesn’t show through as bad with a thin layer of glue). We then filled the bags with blankets, hygiene kits, stuffed animals, crayon roll ups (see below), coloring books, and story books. It was a great enrichment! We donated the bags to our local foster care center. 12 of the bags!…

Jam Jar Decorating!
My crafts are centered around the baby shower I am throwing this week. For one of the prizes I am giving away a homemade jar of Strawberry Jam. So I decided to decorate it with the theme of the shower (brown and blue). I used scrapbook paper on the top and around the base and printed out a cute clipart picture of a mommy and baby (edited to my colors) and added wording and the date of the shower. I put some ribbon around the top ring and added a descriptive tag on top with a ribbon bow. To view more please visit my blog!

Bean Bag Toss!
These little bean bags are simple to make just cut out some squares and sew right-sides together, leave about an inch or more open slot to turn right-side out and fill with beans, rice, or craft fill beads. Then hand sew opening closed. For the board I just traced and cut circles out on one side of a large cardboard box. Paint if desired.I was in charge of sharing time last Sunday for the Primary so I put this together for the activity. The kids loved it! To view more please visit my blog!

Applique and Shorts
I made this very adorable outfit last week for my little neice Katie for her birthday. Before I sent it I took some pictures of Sam wearing it (it’s so cute I think I am going to have to make Sam one!) Not super hard to make either. I bought the shirt and used fusible web (like double sided interface) to put the applique on. I also stitched around the edges. I had a pattern for pants that I just cropped into shorts(a nice length) and vwala…. I would like to sell something like this on etsy, I think it might do well, and it was very fun to make!…
