Craft Projects

Aaaahhh! Was it really February the last time I posted! That's pretty funny. I guess crafting takes a back seat to mothering and fun summer activities!

Well, here are a few of the things I've managed to squeeze in lately!

Retro Apron

I'm not kidding, I bought this pattern and fabric about 6 months ago. I just got around to making it finally! I love it. All except for the blue ribbon. I just had it laying around and used it because there is a little of blue on there. Well, it looks pretty dumb. I think I'll unstitch that part!
The real reason I waited so long was because I was afraid to use a pattern! It was my first time and I wanted my mom to help me :) Turns out it wasn't that scary at all and I finished most of it with no help!

CAR SEAT COVER-Rag Quilt Style!

Okay, great story here! One day this lady calls me out of the blue and asks me if I make car seat covers. She needed it in two days for a baby shower. She got my number from my friend that she met at JoAnn's. I say sure and we agree on a price. We went with the green, pink and brown theme (which I LOVE). I put green straps on it and some pink flowers.
Anyway, I get a call a couple of days later and the lady's sister tells me that the girl I made it for is actually a girl I knew from Logan way back in the ol' college days! (She lives in this area now though and we have a mutual friend in my ward and I've run into her a couple of times at Target and stuff). I was so excited! I'm glad I made it for someone who I know will love and appreciate it! It's a small world!


CAMERA STRAP

I know, this is kind of a boring one :) and a not so sexy pic of me... BUT look at that cute fabric I found for my strap. So much prettier than the black with bright red CANON written across it!
