Ok so I was only going to post a few of my favorites, but I got a little carried away! I loved taking pictures of this little one! She is so good a posing, and of course very beautiful! Thanks Cilka for letting me practice!

Mittens

One night we went to a carnival, but it was cold and rainy and therefore didn't want my little ones hands to freeze. So I made her mittens. All I did was trace her hands, traced it onto the fabric giving an extra 1/2 inch or so, and leaving lots or room for their hands to enter the glove. Sewed wrong sides together, turn inside out and there they are! You can add ribbon with velcro to help keep them on if you like as well.

Skirts

These are the many skirts I made for my little gal . They are so fun and so easy! All I did was buy half a yard of fabric, cut 2 17 inch fabric pieces, sewed wrong sides together, added a hem on both sides, left the top hem open, then weaved elastic through.
From there I had to try it on her to see how tight I needed the elastic, then tied it and sewed it up! From there I have added more and more things. Take a look!

A pretty bow for her head

My friend has this great book for making fabric bows. They are so great to make for those little girlies! I made some to match some little skirts I made for her. I love the neutral colors like, brown and black so she can wear them with anything. All I did was cut 8 squares, fold them into a triangle, then with a needle and thread, stitch up the open side of the triangle to the tip and back down. Then pull it tight, and move onto the next triangle and start sewing them all together, without cutting the thread in between. Hot glue a button on and there ya go! Cute as a button!

O picture frames

So I haven't filled these in with pictures yet, but they will be so cute when they do! Just purchased two picture frames and mod podged scrapbook paper and added a little ribbon and rub on saying, and there it is! so cute and fits my little gals room!

Taking pics

I have a new hobby that I really enjoy, that is photography! I originally wanted to learn the basics and just take pictures of my family, but I find a lot of joy doing it for other people as well. If any of you are interested in letting me take pictures of your little ones, or even family shots, let me know! I am really into the more up to date look. I will post a few pictures to show you what I mean. I like mine fresh and colorful, and just like the flag one soft and gentle. I'm still playing around with it, but I sure do enjoy them!

Mod podge shelf

I just love these shelves! I painted and covered them with scrapbook paper. Great way to draw them in with the rest of your room, along with your personalized babies name. Because every nursery has to have block letters of course!

Clip one on

This is one of my favorites! Bought a single blank board at Joanns, mod podged it. Bought 4 big clothes pins and mod podged. Added a little ribbon and bling, and there ya go! Inter-changeable for pictures as well!

A cushy Pillow

When I made Mo's bedding, I had some extra scraps laying around, so I made a little decorative pillow to go on our glider. Since I am no longer needing the boppy pillow, this works great for feedings, rocking and decoration!

Live, laugh, love

I love those little quote boards, but knew I couldn't find something to match her room. So I made it! Bought the board from Roberts, mod podged the paper, and bought a quote from the Quilted Bear. All cost me $14 bones! Not a bad deal for something so lovely!

Ribbon pics

This is a nice little way to take up a wall. Bought 3 bare wood shapes and covered it with scrapbook paper and added her pics, along with a few quotes. Glued it to the ribbon and there ya go!

Her Lamp

I had my eye on this lamp post for some time. This was the final touch in miss Mo's room. And what a fine touch it is might I add. The lamp post cost me $10 at walmart. Bought a neutral lamp shade for $3, then used my scraps from her bedding and hot glued it to the lamp shade and wall-ah! New, and matchy lamp!

Flowers

I wanted to add a little liveliness to my gals room, and what better way than with flowers!? I added remanding scrapbook pages to this round holder and stuck fake little flowers in the top. Definitely adds a lot!

A place to hang your jacket

Its not a very good picture of the detail but just put on scrapbook and then ribbon around the nobs and it works great! Good for a place to hang your jackets, or babies hats!

Hat boxes= Storage

These hat boxes were so fun to put together! I just purchased different sizes, put on scrapbook paper and a little ribbon and wall-ah! Its been great! they hold her bows and flowers, diapers, lotions, and one holds burp rags and socks, and then some misc. items.

Bookshelf storage

I can't take credit for this idea. I got it from make it and love it. Shaylee has needed some organization in her bookcase, so I cut down her diaper boxes, painted the sides, slapped some cute scrapbook paper on, and now they hold her toys, blankets and diapers. So cute! And so clean!

Junk Holders

I sure love these little hat boxes. I use them for lots of things. This was one from our wedding that needed a place to stay in our house. In ever home there is place or two that holds junk. This was the place, so I decided to use this hat box to hide all the junk from our pockets, and oh how cute it is. Same with the trays. They are a cute little extra for decor, its just sits on top or our dresser, or dining table.

Relax and Dream

The shelves I purchased and repainted. Along with the "dream" and "relax". Then I bought boxes and mod podged them. Its pretty random but turned out to look pretty cute and different from everything else.

New Head board

My hubby and I made this head board after we were married and it was surprisingly cheap and easy. We got two sheets of plywood and sandwiched 3 2x4's between them. I drew a pattern for the arch on the top and used a jigsaw to cut it. My awesome cousin helped me sew the cool seems in the leather, since at the time I didn't know a thing about sewing. Used batting behind it and stapled everything to the back! Its a great way to re-do your room. You can even recover your original head board.

Toilet Decor

This little tray was purchased at walmart and filled it with rocks. Then I just went around the house and grabbed little items to fill it. This bag was from a beauty shop, I bought an item and that's the bag they gave me. Pretty cute little filler I think.

And a book to read

This was a wood book I recovered with paper and stickers to make it look like a personalized book. It sits on a shelf in our bathroom, its one of my favorites.

Shelf Decor

I was struggling to find stuff to stick on our random shelves. These are more items from the wedding placed on the shelf. The letter blocks were purchased at the craft store, mod podged and same with everything else. I got little stickers with mushy love quotes and stuck them on as well. Good way to personalize your things :)

New table

This was another item given to us when we were married. It was original a very light stain on top and had white legs. I just recently stripped it and re-stained it to this beautiful cherry, and spray painted the legs.

Where are my keys!?

No more trying to track those keys down. I purchased this from walmart in the wood isle. Added some paint, and now it sits by the back door. So perfect, and highly recommended!

Flowers, flowers, flowers

This was also something else used in our wedding. I think it turned out so cute! Once again love that wood isle. Used scrap book paper, mod podge and some ribbon! Even the candle was done by me. The little things you can do to spice things up!
