Crazy Quilt





I wanted to make a blanket for my daughter with some animals that I embroidered.  My mom suggested to put them all together with a pattern that she called a "Crazy Quilt".  You piece together lots of different fabrics in different lengths and sizes.  The result is really fun and cute.  You can see the quilt here in a couple different stages.  After is was all put together I had it quilted by a professional.  I just loved it.

Kitty


I like the older look of this kitty.  He is super soft and I love the little white socks.  He was really hard to make because this yarn makes it really hard to see your stitches but it was worth it for that soft feel.

Giraffe Hat



After I made a the zebra hat I saw that I had some gold and orange yarn and I decided to try and make a giraffe hat.  It may be my favorite one.  The little spots and horns are so cute.

Purple Hearts for Valentines


I originally made this blanket in pink for my daughter.  I loved it so much I decided to try it in other colors.  It's made out of a Bamboo Blend yarn which makes it feel delicate and soft.

Einstein


We like to call my dad Einstein.  So this last Christmas I adapted a pattern to make a miniature Einstein to hang out with my dad in his office.  It was a fun pattern to make, and he turned out super awesome.

Ballerina Doll



I made this doll for my niece who started dancing right when she realized it was possible.  I keep telling myself that I'm going to make ones in different colors, with different hair, but I haven't yet.  The face reminds me of the old style dolls that were made by your great-grandma, which I always thought were so cool.

Car



This car ended up a lot bigger than I originally meant for it to.  But I must say that it is a lot of fun to play with.  It's got a lot of personality and is really soft.

Flower Clips




These flower clips are good for any ages.  They are delicate enough to clip into soft baby hair or strong enough to clip into tough adult hair.  I have made them in 3 different sizes: Small (approx: 1 inch), Medium (approx: 2 inches), and Large (approx: 3 inches).  Shown on Baby Annie: Medium.  Can be made in lots of different colors.  Here is a link to a tutorial:

Cookie Monster Hat




It's the COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!!  Thanks to my nephew I was asked to make an Elmo hat several years ago.  After it worked out so well, I decided I needed to make some other characters.  Here is Cookie Monster.  My kids think he is alot of fun to wear.
If you would like a pattern check out my Etsy shop.

Coin Dangle Earrings


Here I have two different pairs of Coin Dangle Earrings; Copper and Antiqued Gold.  They make for a nice pair of earrings because they are a dressy casual earring.  Lots of fun to make too.

Car Pins


When I was making the Bee Pins I thought one of the bees looked more like the shape of a car, and I had a great idea, to make car pins.  So I gave it a try.  I thought the stripes and wings were hard on the bees, but these little tires took a lot of concentration.  It was a lot of fun.  Now I just need to find a great fabric for a pincushion :)

Window Pane Blanket


I have made this blanket a couple times and even though it is supposed to be a scrap blanket I just love these bright colors in this pattern, it makes me think of a stained glass window.

Football Earrings



I made little football beads so I could start supporting my favorite teams.  I made myself a pair of dangle earrings for my favorite team (Indianopolis Colts) which I wear on occasion.  Here I have shown BYU, U of U, and NFL Green Bay Packers.  The fun things about these is that you can't really tell they are football earrings at first, they are just dangle earrings and then on closer examination they are footballs.

Stuffed Horse - It's a Paint!



Here's the real horse.


I got asked if I could make a horse that looked like someone's real Paint.  So after studying some pictures, I gave it a try.  I LOVE IT!  It was so much fun to make, I love these little challenges.  I thought that the horse came out looking alot like the real one.

Bumble Bee Pins and Pincushions




I liked the Bumble Bee pins that I made before and decided they would be cutest with Bumble Bee Pincushions.  I made four different pincushions to compliment the Bees.  It's takes a little bit of time to put on those stripes and wings but they turn out so cute, it's well worth it.
