Triangle Apron
I made this cute apron for my sister-in-law for her bridal shower back in the summer. I used an apron that someone gave me for my bridal shower back when I got married as my pattern. My sister-in-law's apron turned out really cute, and probably one of the better sewing projects I have ever made.
I love making projects! Some our original, and some I find from other blogs. I usually put my own twists to projects I find elsewhere, but will always give credit to the website where I found the other projects. Please do the same for me! Feel free to use my ideas, but if you do and decide to publish them on your own blog, please copy my blog website and note it in yours! Thank you, and happy making!!

Changing Table Cover
Changing Table Cover
Changing table covers are expensive in the store. I know material can be expensive, too, but when you get it for $2.50 a yard, you just saved yourself about $12 dollars- or more! Plus, you get to pick exactly what material you want, instead of being restricted to the covers already made and in stores.
I actually did not buy the material I used for my changing table cover for the purpose of making it into a cover. Instead I bought it for a recieving blanket, but changed my mind when I didn't get a cover for my baby shower. It turned out cute, and it was so easy to make.

The only thing I did different was a few sewing tricks, like sew the sides on, and then sew the edges together, instead of pin them all at once. Also, I don't really like feeding my elastic through, so I sew around it- making sure there is plenty of elastic at both ends. Then when I get close to the end, I tie it together, and sew the final stiches around the elastic.
Here is my final project!

Baby Homemade Card
I happen to be having a baby close to when many of my cousins and friends are! I made this cute card for my husband's cousin who is due about three-ish weeks after me! I made a recieving blanket, too, but forgot to take a picture!

Introduction
I wanted to start this blog because the truth is- I like to show off what I have made. I am not a professional, but I am learning and getting better the more I do. A lot of the things I craft/make are original or I took an idea from something else and made it my own. Eventually, I would like to get to the point, where I can be as "cool" as the other craft blogs out there, but it's a work in progress!! If you see some thing you like, feel free to comment! You may also use my ideas, but please link my blog if you decide to share what you have done on your own blog or website! Thank you, and happy crafting!!
