broach

I was in desperate need for a new broach. The sweater had a tacky label on it so I wanted to cover it up. When I was on my mission, my nametag covered it perfectly! But I'm not allowed to wear that anymore. So last semester I whipped this one up. It is a terrible picture of both the broach and me. Deal wit it.

baby sling

OK last Christmas pressie! My sister wanted to make little baby slings for the children. We made three of these little guys! I had never done pleating before, so it was a little more challenging than it may look. My sister babysits two other girls so that's where the other two are. My niece was so excited when she opened the present that she grabbed a doll, put it in, got a very serious face on and did a lap around the house. Being a mom is serious work! It was very very cute.

matching headbandz

Another thing I made for Christmas was matching headbands for my sister and her two daughters. Pictured is only one of her daughters (obviously), but they were pretty cute all wearing them!

crayon rollll

This is an old project. I made this for my niece for Christmas. OK fine. Santa did, since it ended up in her stocking. If you look closely, you can see where i divided the green into little sections for the crayons to go and then you roll it up! Simple! I have other projects but I haven't taken pictures yet. Soon though!

wallet!!


Can you believe it!? I have made something other than a headband! (although I did make one...I just have to get a good picture of it)

It's a business card holder, but I don't carry a lot of stuff in my wallet so it is perfect.
Pretty simple. I have to add a button to keep it closed, but I can't find my needles right now. I'm very excited to use this!

fleece headband


I have finally crafted this semester. I just couldn't take any more books so I pulled out my machine! The headband didn't come out exactly the way I wanted. It could be due to my poor craftsmanship, or the color choice...I don't know. I just think it's too wide. And of course taking the picture is half the battle....so here it is!Seriously, I took so many pictures and this is the best I got. Also. Apparently all I make is headbands. I have another one half made too. Oh well! I got the tutorial here. I made mine 5 inches wide and like I said, it was too wide. If I ever get around to fixing it, I'll be sure to update. Happy Monday!!

old headband


I made this in the summer, but I still love it and made it. The color is great. The fit is great. I just really love it. I've made about 10 more. I made 3 for my sister and her two daughters for Christmas..the little ones were pretty cute!
Here is the pattern...as you can see I made minor adjustments. It's perfect for this cold Utah winter!
