I have been on a "roll" in the creating department lately. I saw these online and wanted to try making them. They turned out pretty cute. The vinyl kinda made the fabric a little wonky but they will work for trips and such. I made one for both Hannah and Mikayla. I think when I make another I will either put vinyl on the front and back or just do felt. It will be just as cute, I'm sure!

I've also been making altered clipboards for my sister. I have 9 almost finished and one more to do! They are so cute. Still need to sand them, mod podge and add some extra to them...I think they will be cute!

All the paper measured and cut out.


Every thing glued and pockets for the back mod podged.

Tomorrow I will work on finishing them up!

Crafty weekend


Headband holder


I made the blue flowered headband to match a skirt I made Hannah.

I have been a busy girl this weekend! Chad let me shop all by myself Saturday and I hit the new Micheals. I also shopped Hobby Lobby and some other stores.

I bought material to make the girls crayon rolls, backseat organizers and my niece's birthday dress.

I can't wait to get started on all those. I had some other things I wanted to work on this weekend...and I got to most of it.

I am so excited to have made 2 skirts this past week. I have 2 skirts that I dearly love but not how they fit when I sit down and stand up...so I searched the web for a tutorial to make my own. I have found that I really like a tutorial over a pattern...even if it means creating my own pattern.

So far this week, I have made two patterns...the one for my skirts and the one for the backseat organizer. I am still working on the organizer pattern trying to decide whether I want to include a pocket for the DVD player or make a separate holder for that.


The last few weeks I've been working on some headbands for the girls. I will try to post photos of those sometime this week, along with the skirts I made.

Today, I made a black skirt, some cute clipboards and felt barrette's (with Mikayla's help). I also threw together some quick headbands for the girls.

SO I made this swim suit two weekends ago. I wanted something that I could put over her washable swimmy pants. It turned out cute. Warning: Lycra swim material is not the bomb to work with unless u feel you are having an awesomely patient day. I had no pattern except copying one of her dresses and giving it a 1/2 seam allowance...I learned a lot making this. 1. Buy a pattern 2. Buy a swimsuit instead!
