Valentine Shirt

I made Anna's Valentine shirt with a heart cookie cutter, some zebra fabric, an A that I traced off the computer, some pink fabric, some wonder under and some pink thread.

TaDa!

Shoe Redo

I decided to redo some old shoes. (Pinterest is going to be the death of me.) This is what they looked like before.


I took a fat quarter of cute material (97 cents at WalMart) and cut it in half. Using Mod Podge, I glued the fabric to the shoe.


I added ribbon around the top and a bow.


I put some garnet fabric (that I just had lying around) inside and covered the whole thing with Mod Podge.


And this is what they look like now.


They're a little stiff, but I'm hoping that wearing them once will fix that.

Go Gamecocks!!

On a whim, I bought a wreath form, some yarn, and some felt at Hobby Lobby on Wednesday. I wrapped the wreath in yarn, used my long lost rotary cutter to cut some felt diamonds, and glued the diamonds on the wreath. Then I wrapped some more yarn over the diamonds to give it an argyle look. It sat that way until the morning.

This morning, I cut some felt circles, cut them into spirals, and made them into roses. Add a few leaf shapes, some hot glue, and some ribbon to hang it and voila! A Gamecock wreath, just in time for baseball season! :)

Circus Shirt!

We went to the circus yesterday. Anna did not have anything circus-appropriate to wear, so I decided to make her a shirt. Here it is:


Nothing fancy. I just drew an elephant, cut it out of a piece of a 97 cent fat quarter from WalMart, backed it with Wonder Under and ironed it on a $4 shirt from WalMart, stitched around it with hot pink thread, and sewed a little hot pink bow on. It turned out exactly like I wanted it to!

And looked so cute on my sweet girl at the circus! :)


I wish I had more time to be crafty!!
