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.

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.

Big Bird



BIG BIRD!!!!!!
After making Elmo and Cookie Monster, I wanted to try another character from Sesame Street.  Naturally the next step would be Big Bird.  I wanted to give him feathers so I ended up doing loops to make him look all feathery.  Jennsen thought it was pretty funny.

T-Shirt Quilt



One of my favorite things that I made with my mom was my T-Shirt Quilts.  These two are my Camp Quilt, made from shirts that I got from the 6 years at Girl's Camp, and then my Theatre Quilt that includes all the shirts from being in plays in Jr. High and High School.  I think there may be Choir and Orchestra shirts in there as well.  It's a great way to keep all those old t-shirts that you don't want to throw away because of the memories associated with them.  The back of my Theatre Quilt is Jeans.  I cut up all my old jeans that fell apart and created a back to them.  Then I got these quilts quilted by a proffesional.  The Theatre Quilt has the Drama masks quilted on it.  It's pretty cool :)

Loafers




I had made Mary Jane's for little girls, but after having my son I noticed how much baby stuff was geared toward little girls and not little boys.  How unfair is that?!  Why can't little boys have cool shoes too?!  So I decided to make loafers for baby boys.  I love these little shoes.  If you thought the Mary Jane's were cute, check these out.

Butterfly Pins


I love making these decorative sewing pins.  These ones are butterflies.  There are two kinds in this picture, pink butterflies with yellow wings or white butterflies with pink wings.  They turned out really cute and fun.

Flat Spiral Bracelet





These bracelets are so fun to make and surprisingly easier than they look. The different looks range from fun to elegant. You can use all different kinds of beads and colors. If you enjoy making jewelry you should try these out, here's a link to a youtube video that I think is really good. http://wwww.youtube.com/watch?v=oiB_PID3sC4&feature=relmfu.

Baby Giraffe


This was so much fun. Embroidering all the spots on the back were tedious but well worth it. I couldn't get his neck to stand up straight for the picture so he looks like he's lamenting to the sky. My daughter carries him around by the neck and then grabs his muzzle and gives him big kisses. So now me and her have to fight over who gets him :)
