Christmas Crafts!!

 Pintrest Challenge!!! My family made these super fun and easy cinnamon apple sauce ornaments! Even my little kids (4yrs and 18 months) could do it!!
 I made this Christmas "BELIEVE" banner! I think it turned out pretty cute!
 Christmas Wreath! This was so fun to make and super easy... It did take quite a while tho, Especially to wrap the yarn around the foam circle! But it was super fun!!

This is a cookie jar! I made them to give away as neighbor/friend gifts.... The cookies are WAY yummy!!! So easy and fun to do! I am attaching cooking instructions and an uplifting christmas quote! So fun I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Beanies, Beanies and MORE Beanies:)

 I have decided to try a new style of beanie... Stripes, flower, and braids!! I really like how they turned out!!

Its Been A While...

 I have been really busy making beanies these past couple weeks:) I thought I would share a few of them! I just thought that these two monsters were so cute!

 I made another set of finger puppets! I didn't think I would ever do those again but I DID:) They weren't as bad to make the second time!

 I made a little different version of my usual owl... I think this brother sister set turned out really cute!
And that is what I have been doing lately! I now think I am going to start making christmas gifts!! YEA!!

Tutu...

 **Pintrest Challenge**

 I decided that my little girl should be a bumble bee this Halloween... SOOO I went to the fabric store, got some tulle and went onto making my first tutu:) I think it turned out pretty darn cute! Especially on her!! The yellow also has sparkles on it which I LOVE!!
Here is the Finished product!! 
 Now just add the wings and the headband (I think I will also make a beanie because it will most likely be FREEZING!  And the pants below:) I think she will be adorable!!
 These are the pants that inspired my decision to make her a bumble bee... I didnt think that tutu was big enough so we will be adding a little onto it:)

Crayon Rolls

 **Pintrest Challenge** 

So I have seen a few tutorials on pintrest about how to do crayon rolls... I also took a few ideas and molded them into one.. I like these and think they are super cute so I decided to try and make some:) DONT LOOK TOO CLOSE cause they are kind of horrible... But they were super fun and I think my little kids will love them!

Beanies and Booties

 I have a friend who wanted me to make these cute little beanies for her twins! I think they turned out pretty darn cute!
 She also wanted me to make little booties for her kiddos too! I found this pattern on Pintrest also but had to tweak the patter quite a bit to make them the right size and stuff.
 These also count as part of my pintrest challenge because I have never made these types of boots before!
Well here they are and I hope she liked them!!!

Super Hero Masks!!!

 I found these amazing little masks on pintrest!!! (so this post doubles as part of my pintrest challenge for the week)
 I decided to make these for my little boy for his birthday! He LOVES super heros and LOVES to dress up and play... So when I saw these awesome masks I couldn't help myself!!
 HULK!!
 Wolverine, Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, and Batman:)
I intend to do a couple more masks (captain america and also Thor...) but I didn't have the right colors so I think those will have to wait till christmas maybe:) I think they turned out sooo cute and they were so easy!! The blog that I used had amazing patterns and easy to follow directions!! She also has some really cute princess crowns that I would like to make next for my daughter!!! SO FUN!!

Pintrest Challenge....

 So here is my OFFICIAL first pintrest creation... Here is my little crochet pumpkin I made the other night... It was pretty simple and way fast to make!!! I love it... I am now working on a BIGGER pumpkin which is taking FOREVER!!! and then i want to make a ghost or candy corn garland... I think it will be fun.... especially since we are poor.... to make some holiday decorations!!
I think this purse turned out pretty cute... Its for a friends daughter for her birthday! Her daughter likes to put her purses over her shoulder like a satchel so I only did one strap... only thing was the purse was pretty heavy and was stretching out the handle pretty bad so I braided a long sturdy chain and weaved it into the center of the strap... and poof!!! it worked:) YEA! Well hope you enjoyed seeing what I have been TRYING to create this past week:)


and P.S. I will try and keep you updated on my fun pintrest challenge...

Baby stuff...



Here is a little binkey clip I made for my sisters baby... SOOO EASY and SUPER FAST!! The worst thing was waiting for the suspender clips to come in the mail! 



 Here it is on my daughter... Kind of blurry but I liked that you could see it straight on...
Here is a side view... Anyway I think its sweet and cute! Saw the idea on pintrest! I am doing a personal pintrest challenge... I figured I spend way too much time pinning things and not actually doing those things I pin!! SO my challenge is to try and do at least one thing from pintrest each week:)
Made these cute little booties for my soon to be niece also:) I think they turned out really cute!

Skirts!!!

 So for my brother in laws wedding my mother in law and I had this cute idea that we could make some skirts to match the colors of the wedding... WELL turns out that she read the pattern, told me what to do, and the I ENDED up doing MOST OF the sewing!!! AHHHH.... I don't even sew people!!!! The cool thing is that I think i learned ALOT from doing these skirts AND it made me want to fix my own sewing machine and tackle new projects.
Here is a picture of the toddler vs. newborn skirts... I had to make up my own newborn pattern because there was nothing for less then 12 months... SOOO that was fun:) BUT i think they turned out pretty cute:) 

A little better view of the skirt:)

First Blanket EVER!!!

 So my sister is having a baby in January!!! yea! and she is thinking of doing her nursery Grey and Purples:) So this is what I came up with:)
 I think it turned out super cute... I kind of love it:)

Hope Baby Kinzley Loves it too:)
