Ironing Board

My ironing baord was driving me nuts with how dirty and gross it was, and the hole didn't help either. So I decided it had to go. Here is the new and very much improved ironing board. It was so easy to make all I did was lay the fabric on the board and cut aroud the edge about and extra 3 inches. I then hemed it all the way around and put in some elastic.

LOVE this!!!


I love this Jumper from MADE, I think she made it years ago but it is so adorable. I have some brown corduroy material that I need something to with and this might be the perfect piece. There is no tutorial, but I am hoping that I can just make up my own. Go here for more pictures.

On the Road Crafts.....

Middle of August I went to Missiouri with my Parents and 2 of my sisters to stay at my parents cabin and to see the church sites. We all drove out there with no husbands and with all our kids in our cars, we had 12 kids total. The rule was that we had to have the kids in bed at 8:30 so that we could have some adult time. It was fabulous we watched the new Emma which i do love and North and South which is another favorite of mine. We also did some crafing. I made Lucy these 2 hats for fun, yes she does not need them but oh well she is just going to have to wear a hat everyday this winter. I do love both these color combo's


As if my daughter needs another hair clip, but they are fun to make and it is so fun to be creative and to do something new and a little unique. And they can make great baby gifts.

I love this one with the zipper, it is just diffrent.

Plain and Simple, with a vintage look.

I saw headband like this at target, tried it on and was putting in my shopping until I saw the price tag! 10$... so needless to say it when back onthe display rack and I went to walmart and got some zipper and wala. I already had the headband and the zipper only cost 2$ and I only used half of the zipper so I can make another one. I was quite pleased with my self.

Holiday Pillows?

What do you think about Holiday/decorative pillows? I think they can be aborable, these one I love, but I am just not sure how practical they are but the kids would think they are fun. Go here for the Tutorail. In the tutorail she uses paint, but I would probably use some of my cute Halloween fabric.

Firetruck Towel

The last of my nephews (at least for a little while) was born about 3 weeks ago and I have been wanting to try out this hooded towel from Purl Bee so this was my golden opportunity to make one. I already had this cute firetruck fabric on hand as well so it was perfect. The finished project was cute but I made it a little bigger then the pattern calls for and I do like that it is big but it might be too big, but hopefully it will work.

Headband

Super cute t-shirt headband for baby. I love this because it doesn't hurt your baby's head and you can mix and match the flowers on it. I like it maybe a little better then the headbands made from tights because I feel like those ones get caught on things. At craftiness in not optional you can find full the tutorial. here you can find the tutorial to these cute felt flowers.

And Here you can find the tutorial for these cute flowers at Nature's Heirlooms.
