Cupcakes!!

I just love baking! Cupcakes have been the latest thing I have been making! The cupcakes with the gold coin are tie dye cupcakes with orange ribbons and chocolate coins on them! They were made for St. Patrick's Day and also for my niece's memorial service that was held that day. She passed away from Leukemia and was only 17 years old. :(
The 2nd picture was just some cupcakes I made and wanted to experiment with frosting them and decorating them! They were made around Valentines day!

Loom knitting

I cannot figure out the circular knitting needles and really wanted to knit some hats so I picked up a set of round looms! They are so easy and I love them! Here are a couple of hats I have made!

Hello

Just realized it has been awhile since I have updated this blog LOL... I have been pretty busy and trying to squeeze in crafting time! My latest adventure is wood burning. These are my very first projects! I think they turned out pretty well!

Knitting

So I decided to go on a new adventure and teach myself how to knit!! So far I can cast on and do the knit stitch.. I look forward to learning more stitches and actually start to make scarves and such!! Hope soon I can post some pics! :)

If anyone knits please share some helpful tips! :)

Rag Quilt

My latest project is rag quilts. This is the first one I have made so it is just a small one. I am thinking of making some bigger ones!

T-Shirt Pillows

These pillows are very easy to make and are so cute!! I made my 9 year old a couple and also made my 3 year old one. They love the fact they have pillows made from their favorite shirts! :)

So gather up some old shirts that dont fit or you just dont wear anymore and lets make some pillows!!

Supplies needed:
Sewing Machine
Poly Fill
Old T-shirts
Pinking Shears

I used an old pj shirt for this one


Next I sewed all the way around the design on the front. Be sure to leave an opening at the bottom to put the poly fill in.


Next I used the pinking shears and went all the way around it to give it that "scalloped edge". Once I was done with that I went ahead and filled it with poly fill.


Now you need to sew up the hole that was left at the bottom


You are done and now have a cute little pillow!!!


Here are the ones I made my 9 year old son
