i've really been getting my mojo back,
thanks to some supplements my friend jess' fiance recommended!
(supplement giant shout out!)
so.
i've been sewing, mod podging, and trying out my new silhouette:
first, i made a free handed pattern for a burp cloth set for my cousin kristin,
and her brand new baby girl, lexiann:
i added a 40x40 cotton interlock fabric, finished off the edges and appliqued some matching hearts
to make a large receiving blanket.
to package it all up,
i mod podged some wrapping paper onto a shoe box,
made a quilted note card to complete the set, and voila!
cuteness!
it's been awhile since i made girl stuff.
it was a lot of fun!
next, i decided that kyle and i needed bags
to put our stuff in while we dance away the jiggle, so i followed this tutorial
and sewed some hobo sacks for us.
here's mine--
...but i forgot to take a picture of hers!
i made them bigger than the tutorial says, and if i did it over again,
i probably would have made them even larger!
my girls really like them and i have some extra fabric
that i used on their easter outfits last year,
so they may be getting smaller bags (w/ fringe) for v-day.
we'll see what time allows, as we're b-day planning right now, too!
finally, i tried out my new silhouette that i bought with left over christmas money:
i started off simple, and made a thank you card,
but i have plans in my head for vinyl cut outs for the wall,
freezer paper stenciling, and all kinds of things!
and there's your recap of that's what been going on in my neck of the woods.
