New dress for lil Bug

I finally got around to posting the newest lil pillowcase dress I finished for Haylee Bug.

I had so much trouble making up my mind what colors to use in the ruffle and tie.

Even made a big puffy clip hairbow along with a small one for wearing on the side.

Couldn't find ribbon to match enough to use for the drawstring ties, so just cut long

strips of the material I used for the ruffle and made it's own string ribbons.

I have a small stock of materials and Haylee has now informed me that she wants

more and has went through the stack and has a standing order for about 8 more

(as of now at least) made just like it. Silly girl!

Recently I saw a post - somewhere (wish I could remember) that had a felt
homemade tic tac toe game and I instantly fell in love with it.
I changed a few things about it so I didn't have to sew all the parts - only
the bag - which could be glued also.

I love little projects that are this simple.
Two pieces of felt cut into a square.
Two other colors for circle game pieces
Velcro for closing the bag
and some puffy paint.

That's it.

Except for some glue if you want to glue the project
If not just stitch the two squares together.

I put a couple of pieces of peel and stick velcro inside the
edge for closing pieces inside of bag.

Paint on divider lines and x's and o's on game pieces and
wait.

I think that is the hardest part of it all.

Once dry, play. :)

Would be great to pack into any travel bag or in the car for playing with.
Since the pieces are felt, they almost stick together so would be great fun anywhere.

Wish I could remember what site I saw this on so I could give credit to them.
Thanks to whomever. LOVE the project!

Make Your Own Labels the Easy and Cheap Way!

I am so excited to have found this blog post. I have always wanted to make labels for inside of jackets, coats, backpacks, purses for my daughter many years ago and now my granddaughter.

I saw this on pinterest and am soooo gonna have to make some too. I hate writing on labels in garments and bags and then when given away, have to mark them out and make it uggs. Now just plan on removing the tag when I am ready to pass item along. :)

Firework Centerpeice Tutorial

Just found another blog over at "Being creative to keep my sanity"

(Love the name of the blog)

with the same sort of idea that I just posted from Martha Stewart's blog.

Here it is also just for a different little take on the project.

I will try to snap a pic or two of my own with Haylee's assistance to show also.

Here's the link for this crafty idea:

Martha Stewart Style - Easy to Make Patriotic Decorations

Cute and simple ideas for patriotic decorations

that I found on Martha Stewart's Blog::

Martha used vellum, to make her Pom Poms out of.

I had construction paper handy and used a plastic paper cutter

board to make 1/8" strip cuts as she did.

Turned out really cute. Scrapbook paper stock would have been super

since it's colored on both sides but this workedgreat for letting my

lil' Bug assist with the safe slicing of the paper. :)

I have been on the look out for all sorts of useful tools for Haylee to do

different kinds of painting with also. On this same site, Martha uses a round

brush that she barely tips into the paint and it makes the most adorable

resemblence of a firework pattern. Gonna have to give that a try.

Happy Craftin'
