Blessing Blanket

I made this receiving blanket for my son's baby blessing. It was a 42" x 42" blanket. I made it so that he would have a keepsake to remember this special day.

Pictures on a ribbon

I needed something to hang in my son's bathroom. While at Wal-mart this morning buying Twilight, I spotted this cute ribbon. I thought it would be fun to hang pictures of him taking baths in his bathroom. I need to replace the pictures with my desired ones--I just need to get some printed. I got some acrylic frames that had magnets on the back. I pulled the magnets off and glued the frames to the ribbon. I really like how it turned out. Now I just need to get those tubby pictures in there instead of hospital pictures.

Curtains

It get super hot in my son's room, so I made curtains to help keep out the heat as well as darken the room for naps. I made one big panel, but I'm thinking of making another one so there are two on the window. I'll leave it like this for now and decide later.


This is the curtain tied up. I will not tie it up often. I will just slide the sides to the middle when I want light in the room.

I like the buttons. I think they added a nice finishing touch. Thanks Jen for the idea.

I like the curtain closed.

Mini Family Card

This is a 3"x3" card that I made for my family (I made 4 cards in all). I had just had pictures of my little boy taken and wanted to include a card with the picture. I'm really liking the idea of mini-cards because I'm not good at writing long messages.

Animal Split Nine

Wednesday night was quilt club. With my son having pink eye and me having been in the ER on Monday, I decided that it was a night in for me. So, instead of being with the club physically, I was there is spirit. I stayed home and while my son napped, I was able to piece the quilt top together.


This is how the a split nine begins. I picked 9 fabrics that I liked and that I thought went well together. I cut the squares and then sewed them together. Once the nine patch is finished, you cut down the middle each way. Then it is time to put it back together.

I'm not very good at putting everything together. I liked the way that it looked when I first laid it out, but once I got it together, I discovered that I would like it if I split it down the middle and switched the direction. So, I unpicked it and switch directions. This is my finished project. I like the red on the diagonal.

Quilting Party

This was at our quilting party for Jen. She had never quilted a quilt before, so we got together to quilt her darling "tetris" quilt that she made for her baby's room. The baby's room is super cute. Great job Jen!

March Birthday Girl Cards

It is my sister in law's birthday on the 16th and my niece on the 14th of this month. These are the cards I made them.

I got a CriCut for my birthday last year and I haven't used it that much. I decided it was time to pull it out because I was inspired by the card that I made at Stampin' Up club with my friend Jen. (Thanks for letting me steal your creativity). We made a darling card using felt flowers. Since I'm cheap, I decided to use my CriCut to cut flowers. The felt flowers are cuter, but I like the paper ones too.



I was playing around with the different cartridges and found this cute party animal image. I thought it would make a cute card to a 2 year old's birthday. I think it needs something else to the card, but I couldn't come up with anything, so this is the end result.

Baby Boy Card

I had three baby showers to go to last weekend. Two were for baby boys. I made this card for the occasion. I love the "baby boy" ribbon. It really tied things together. I use another card I had on hand for the other shower.
