Crafts, Crafts, Crafts

Recently, I've been kind of obsessed with making crafts. Here are the latest ones I've made:

Photobucket
Magnetic recipe card holder/note holder thingie...some people put "RECIPES" on the block down below the metal board, but I'm just not into vinyl unfortunately, and I also want to use it for other things. (This is the craft we're gonna make at the cabin, girls!)

Photobucket
Quilted shoes. This picture does NOT do them justice. These are for my friend Natalie, and her baby, Siena, that will be born in July. Yes, that's a while from now, and I was supposed to not show these to her, but I did anyway... They are SUPER easy and you can do them in a variety of different fabrics, etc.

Pincushion. THIS one is hard. Well, it's not hard if you can sew, actually. I did just fine with the piecing together of the fabrics until I had to sew the side strip to the circular top and bottom pieces!! Fortunately, Megan was there to help, and after unpicking it like 3 times, using a million pins, I was advised NOT to pin it and that was WAY easier. Anyway, I'll probably make more and perfect them bc let's be honest: look closely and you'll see how many mistakes I made!! (I made this out of the leftover fabric from Claire's quilt)

Anyway, next project? Ready?

Photobucket
"Baby Booties" by Heather Bailey. It's a free pattern you can get on her website AND you can see an online gallery of the booties tons of people all over the world have made with this pattern on Flickr!

Ok and these girl ones are to die for, aren't they??

I definitely can't stop doing crafts. It's a disease...

WOW, you are ambitious and extremely talented. The shoes you made for Natalie are darling. I'm jealous of your talent. I can't even sew a straight line. I don't have the patience for crafts so kudos to you!
