Baby Boys

I recently finished the second baby blanket that I donated in an auction for a friend with Cancer and I loved it so much it was hard to send it away! I was so happy to feel like I could help in some way and I am so glad that the little boys that received them will enjoy them. All my quilts are typically one of kind because I make the pattern up as I go along, I take pictures just in case I ever want to do it again :)

I heart me some cowboys

This is the first one I finished and sent off, I loved the colors and the different textures

Scratchin an Itch!!

The last few weeks I have had the itch once again to do some projects!! Here are some of the latest ones!!

Hooter Hider Tutorial

I know there are lots of ways to make these, but here is mine!






The below drawings were some we did as a family, I had wanted to frame them but I hadn't found the perfect ones and then I saw this and decided to make my own version. I bought some garden trellis, it comes in lots of shapes and sizes and is very inexpensive, and you can purchase it at any home improvement store tip: (I sanded it down just a bit to get some of the rough edges off)



Then I found some wooden drawer knobs like these, spray painted them with paint I already had. I then glued them, using wood glue, to the trellis and while they were drying I searched the closets and found 5 wooden pants hangers and then hung them from the trellis.


Here is the final result!! I love having the families art displayed in a new and casual way, also we can change them out very easily if we want to!!





The other quick project was this great side table I found at a local thrift store for $5.95, bought some rust orange spray paint, sanded it down a bit and sprayed it! I let it dry overnight and now it is getting along quite nicely with the other furniture in our front room!!

Halloween Wreath, Hooter Hider, and Baby Blankets

The last few weeks I have had many the project to keep me busy!

This is a Halloween Wreath that I made out of ribbon, got the idea here
(Dummy me forgot to take a picture before it snowed/rained)

I made this "Hooter Hider" for my sister who just had a baby in August

The below blankets were made for my new friend Annie, she is expecting her first little girl any day!!
