Lace Letter M

I bought this letter at Michael's a while back on clearance. I liked it but I felt like it needed some sprucing up. I immediately thought lace! I love lace, who doesn't? To be honest though, I was nervous oddly. I didn't know how it would turn out but I love it! It gives a new feeling to the letter M!

Start with a letter:

                                                      Find some old lace hanging around:

 Tie knots:

Scatter colors:

And you have a cute lace letter to hang on your wall or in my case on my little picture table.

I think I am gong to add a fabric flower as well!

Enjoy :]

Feel Quiet Book

I have made a few quiet books in the past and wanted to do a feel book like the ones you see in the store. Well I was thinking of doing it with a circle of the 'fur' but it didn't fly so well so I did the whole cut out. (It will make sense with pics!)

Its not perfect but its why I love it! I took images online and just printed and cut them out. Super easy! Google bear vinyl or something and print one you want! For the material, I scored at a rummage sale that had lots of different fabrics. I love a good sale! :) But be creative, stuffed animals work great and random fabric from hats, wallets ect!

I took 2 piece of the felt and sewed the edges. I hot glued the cut outs because I did not want to sew them all. I made 3 books and my hand thanked me!!!
Once I was finished with the book, I sewed all of the pages together!
Simple simple simple! It didn't take much time and I know my little guy will love it when he gets a bit older!

Enjoy <3

The Lioin is not finished. Its why it has taken me so long to post this! I still am not finished but you get the idea :)

 I love these feathers!!!

I hope this has inspired someone! My next quiet book will be for church! I have done one page to date and its been on the back burn so hopefully I finish it by the end of the year ;)

Ho Ho Ho

I am such a slacker this year! I had so many plans and had great intentions and I am not sure where the time went to. Well, actually the time went to my little man!

Its been a crazy month! I told my husband that Thanksgiving was yesterday. I have just been busy with other things that I have not been able to craft and my heart wants to!

I am here and here to stay! :) Just hopefully no more excuses. Sadly my Christmas ideas will have to wait til next year...

But and that is a big but! I will have some tutes and fun stuff coming in the next week I promise! 


For now I leave you with this :

Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Pearl Candles

Christmas Gift number 3
So my sister and I for my wedding made these and I keep thinking of them. They are super easy to make and such a great gift or decoration!

What you need:
candles
pearl pins

If you don't want to get pearl pins, I am sure you can take pins and glue on some little pearls to the ends. And I am sure it's cheaper that way too!

Enjoy!!

Thrift store Saturday

So I am in Love and I mean love with this find!
I don't think I need to say more, She speaks for her self.
Oh she was a whopping $50 bucks, Half off day at a thrift store is better than a candy store :)

Fabric Picture Frame

Homemade Christmas gift #2

So I had this wonderful idea to make a fabric frame. It was such a random thought but I love when I have visions. I dont have many hehe

I Love love LOVE how it turned out!

The best part??? Total of the project: Maybe 75 cents!

So I bought a wood picture frame at a garage sale for $.50

I took really Really wrinkled fabric  I found at a rummage sale( a bag as much as you can stuff for $2,(SCORE!) 

I cut it the size of the frame but gave it an extra inch or two.No need to be precise!

I then made a square for the middle. Again, no worry to be perfect.

I cute the 4 corners so I could fold them over the frame and to fit nicely.

This is what it looked like.

And then glued the outside of the frame and cutting the extra fabric left over so it wouldn't 

hang over.

Took some coordinating fabric and made some fabric roses and finished it off with 

some pearl beads and a cute button.

I made it creased a little because I liked the look of it! I also made another frame and made it even more creased or draped looking.
I put this in the frame but a family photo or anything would be cute.

By the way, I have been slacking on the blog as of late But I promise I have been bippity boppity boo to a lot of things!! Hope your Thanksgiving was as wonderful and relaxing as mine!

Homemade Key Chain Tutorial

The season of giving: Gift number 1!

This old $.50 Thrift Store find

Became this!!!

So I have a new love for taking something from the thrift store and transforming it into something pretty!

This idea came to me as I am in a mommy's group and we are doing a Christmas gift exchange. I was trying to think of something to make for her and this came to mind! She is from Canada and loves the color red hence the Canadian maple lead and red ribbon.

 My intention for making this was to be a key chain but once it was finished I thought, it totally works for an ornament or hanging on your little mirror in your car!

This is what you need:

I used an old glasses case you could use anything really! 

An image 

Some pins to pin image on the case

Scissors 

Fabric glue or a glue gun

Needle and thread(preferably thicker)

Here is what I did:

I took the Canada flag and cut it out and it was a little long so I took the glasses case inside out and trimmed the seams and unfolded it and the image fit on it!

I pinned the image on the case.

And ended up with 2 little leafs 

I took my fabric glue and glued them together, I didn't want to use my glue gun but maybe wish I had but I was thinking of my needle going through it and wasn't sure how hard it would be!

Here it is glued together

I took my dollar store hole puncher and punched a hole where I wanted it

(I was amazed it punched through it)

I took some thicker thread and went around the leaf. I also went around the loop hole to prevent it from breaking.

Viola! Super simple but such a great gift! I can not wait to send this baby out. I seriously want to keep it for myself but the feeling of giving something especially something made by Muah  is much more satisfaction :)
