Two Babies
I had two friends that had babies lately, so I made them both some little baby shoes, my favorite gift for new little babies!
Some baby girl shoes:
And some penny loafers for the baby boy to wear to church.
A while back, I bought a Groupon to Cherry Hill Designs that I used to buy some iron-on labels to put on things that I make. These shoes were my first chance to use them. They are pretty cute!
Here is the boy's one, although I couldn't quite get my camera to focus on it.

Nook Cover
I was the lucky recipient of a new Nook for Christmas. I had been thinking it would be fun to make a cover for it.
Here are a couple patterns if someone want to try to make one totally from scratch: from Urban Threads, and from Chica and Jo.
I remembered that I had this little portfolio notebook thing, that happened to be the exact size for my nook. I think I got this at Goodwill for less than a dollar. Its just a cheap notebook holder from some company. So check your local thrift store, or maybe you have a freebie from some company lying around!
To change it into a Nook holder, I sewed elastic onto the corners of one side. It was a little bit flimsy, so I inserted an extra layer of thick card stock in the pockets on each side. The card on the left side was sticking out a bit, so I covered it with fabric. I also glued on a piece of scrapbook paper over the little pocket that had a company's name on it. Then I sewed a little strap with a snap on the end on one side, with the other side of the snap on the top of the cover.
Outside top view were the snap is attached:
Outside back view where the strap is sewed on, and if you look really closely you can see the little lines where the elastic was sewn:
All ready to go with my Nook!

Catapult
I ran across this project on Pinterest the other week, and knew it would be something my boys would like. We made these little catapults to shoot pom poms.
Of course we had to make two, so we could have a battle.
With the puff balls as amo, no real harm can be done!
