Eeeeek!! A Spider!!

This is such a fun idea for kids!!!! Also very inexpensive! All you do is take a paper plate, punch holes around the edge, & weave yarn into the shape of a web. You can use any sort of spider, but I purchased this spider making kit at Joann's. You can probably check your local craft store. Be creative! Have fun!!!

EEEEEEEK!! A SPIDER!!!!!!

A Little Baker's Apron

It's been a long time coming, trial & error, for these little aprons. It started about a month back when I saw a beautiful adult apron online & wanted to recreate it for my girls. It had a ruffled edge on the bottom. I got all the cuts made & got stuck on how I should add the edge on with a border running around it. Needless to say, it got set aside & other things took priority, so I never got around to finishing. After being sick for nearly 3 weeks, I'm finally starting to feel better & get caught up on all my half-finished sewing projects, this being one of them. I'm so excited to share this because it's my own pattern all drawn up and ready to go. Maybe one of these days I'll create a tutorial for everyone to use, but for now, I'm just excited to share my creation. Up next, an idea from a good friend of mine, oven mitts to match!!

An apron for winter/Christmas time!

Hello Kitty Crochet Hat

For a week I have been looking EVERYWHERE for my crochet hooks, markers, needles, etc. I have yet to find the ziplock that contains all my crochet stuff, but I did manage to find an H hook among my sewing stuff. I was so happy because I've been meaning to make the kids hats for winter. I found this FREE pattern online & knew right away my daughter Jenaye would love it. So here she is modeling the hat for me!!
