Secret Project Reveal: Baby Shoes

A couple weeks ago I made a little itty bitty pair of shoes for my hubby's cousin who is pregnant and due in December. I think they turned out pretty darn adorable, but I'm pretty sure anything is adorable that small.

Secret Project Reveal: Sewing a Key Chain

My mom has had some trouble finding/keeping/not breaking a key chain and told me to keep an eye out for one. I saw this tutorial here and decided to make one for her myself last week!

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope it lasts for a bit!

Secret Project Reveal: Wedding Invitations!

So my wonderful Molly is getting MARRIED TODAY!! I am so excited for her and her fiance, Dan, to start their life together! This is them and us!

Anyways, I thought that this might be a good day to reveal the invitations that I made for their wedding! For privacy sake, I changed most of the info but you still get the idea!

Secret Project Reveal: Wedding Survival Kit!

My friend Molly is getting married tomorrow and I made her this little survival kit for her big day!

Secret Project Reveal: Sewed Party Favors

On day 113 I worked on a secret project and now it is time to reveal!

For the little give aways for my friend's shower, I made little heart pouches full of chocolate kisses for our guests to eat on their way home. Here are a couple pictures! Cute and sweet!

Secret Project Reveal: Flamingo Embroidered Envelope Pillow!

My lovely friend's wedding shower was today so I can officially reveal one of my secret projects! Earlier I had embroidered a flamingo for her wedding invitations and then I added a few things to it and made it into a pillow! The absolutely best tutorial I've found on making an envelope pillow is this one. It is simple and easy to understand!

Here are some pictures:

Two lovely little flamingos!

The back--made from an old skirt I had. I thought the colors went perfectly with the front!

Molly and me with the flamingos!

Day 47: Cat Embroidery

I worked on a little Valentine's Day present for my husband (I know, I know...a little late) this evening but instead of showing that I'll reveal a previous secret project! Here is a little kitty I worked on for my friend!

 

I got the patterns free from Speckless!  They are just so cute, aren't they?! It was hard to pick only one kitty to embroider.

This is my third post about cats. This is ironic because I don't even like cats. Well...I really like them in theory....does that count?

Secret Project Revealed: Cat Embroidery

I made this little cat embroidery for my brother in law a couple weeks ago! He loves cats so why not a cat embroidery?!

Secret Project Revealed: Nephew's Mood Chart

On day 29, I hinted that I was working on a project inspired by a mood chart.  My mom has made several comments about how she loves all of her grandson's facial expressions. So my mind started turning and I couldn't resist making a mood chart out of my nephew's many expressions!

My adorable nephew and his many moods

Today I feel....

Looks pretty good on my fridge!
