Baby Mary Janes

Some more baby shoes I made last week. These were for my friend's little girl that is having her first birthday this week. Happy birthday Miss S!

I made them with removable flower buttons. I love how cute the Mary Jane style looks!

Easter Bow Ties

I wanted my sons to have new outfits for Easter. They had matching pants and shirts from Christmas, so I just made them some matching bow ties.

Quick and easy, and oh, so handsome!

I used the tutorial found from Something About Kate.

Dino Blanket

I got a remnant of this dinosaur fabric and my 4 year old saw it and wanted me to make him something.

So I made a little blanket for his stuffed animals.

Just right to tuck T-Rex in for a nap.

This T-Rex was actually another project I worked on this week. The mouth of the dinosaur was made out of felt. The felt was balling up and my son was picking at it so it was getting a hole in its mouth. Before it started to loose its stuffing, I sewed a piece of fleece over its mouth. Hopefully that will hold up better than the felt was. It makes me wonder why they would make it out of felt!

Letter V

The capital "V" has a volcano on it.
The lower case "v" has some violets in a vase.

Hippo Shoes

I made these baby shoes for our new little nephew that was born a few weeks ago.

Papier-Mâché Easter Egg

For our family night this week, we made this Easter Egg.

I saw this idea in the Family Fun magazine last year and marked it to try sometime. We just followed the instructions they have there. I haven't done papier-mâché since elementary school! I thought it would be a fun thing for my four year old to do. He actually didn't like getting his hands in the paste. :) So my husband and I did most of the work. My son did think it was really cool once it was dry that it turned hard. We decorated the inside with plastic eggs and some little lambs and duckies I got at a craft store a couple years ago.
