First gifts for baby

SHOES!

These cute giraffe shoes were the very first gift my little baby received, and I love them! Aren't they sweet?

The above shoes are made by Wee Pereas, a blog friend of mine who graciously sent these to me for some of my fabric. Beth regularly inspires me with her creativity. You should check out her cute creations here.

Surplus fabric for sale

With baby #3 on the way, I am coming to realize that I just don't have enough time to make everything that I want to make, and do everything I want to do. Also, I need to free up some space for baby items! That said, I have gone through my fabric stash and am looking to get rid of several pieces. Pictures are below with a brief description and price. I am not trying to make a lot of money on these; I am simply trying to earn some of what I spent! Feel free to make me an offer that I can't refuse:-)

All of the above are fat quarters--$1/each

Left: Dancefloor in Teal, 17" (just under 1/2 yard), $2;

Right: Hushabye bunnies, 3/4 yard, $4 (I have more of this fabric if someone is interested)

Above: Lime green Patsy Aiken fabric, 2 yards, $12.

Left: Green tonal paisley, 1 yard, $6;

Right: Red w/daisies, 1.25 yard, $7.

Left: Auburn Univ., 2 scraps measuring approx. 12"x36", $3;

Right: Dallas Cowboys, scrap measuring 36" x 36", $4.

Left: Red MonkeyNRound, 1/2 yard, $3 (more avail. if interested);

Right: blue dot, 1 yard, $6.

Left: Multi-color daisies, 1.25 yard, $7;

Right: Hot pink tonal floral, 1 yard, $6.

Most of these fabrics are pre-washed since I use my fabrics for nursing covers and apparel and not quilting. I would be happy to ship the fabric anywhere. Please help me clean out some space for the next baby!

Non-sewing craftiness!

I decided recently to take a break from sewing-related crafts, and work on becoming more 'well-rounded' in my crafting skills. I bought some fun buttons (sources: Etsy, Dick Blick [1 lb. buttons for $2.99!]), and spent a day or two playing with different color combinations. The results are below--I am quite pleased with how they turned out!

I linked to www.jonesdesigncompany.com recently, and it was that website that had a book page canvas tutorial that I copied. One of her 'variations' on the tutorial was using sheet music, and I have a stack of old sheet music that worked perfectly! As a special inside joke to myself, the music I used is from a Nocturne that I played in my senior recital in college. I hope to hang these four canvases in my master bathroom soon.

Check out this giveaway--and the fantastic project ideas!

I came across this site in my Google reader when the author posted a project on one of my favorite crafty sites, Little Birdie Secrets. At Jones Design Company she is doing a week of her favorite projects, and I cannot wait to try some of them (the book page canvas is adorable!). But for even more fun, Emily is also giving away some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G items from her shop, including headbands, notecards, and more. You can participate in the giveaway here. I hope you will visit this site, be inspired, and enter to win this wonderful giveaway (let me know if you do:-)

Recent nursing covers

I have not completely fallen off the grid--I did recently make these two nursing covers. In case anyone is interested, I can make at least one more of each of these :-)
