New Embroidery Hoop Wall Art

Two Sundays ago I got inspiration for a new project!  

I got it from the cutest little outfit on my friend's baby girl!! 

She had this cute yellow and white dress with a pink crocheted flower on it.  

I loved how simple it was and also very fun at the same time!

I thought it might be the perfect combo for a new Embroidery Hoop Wall Art!

I used a two layered flower that was easy to crochet.

I loved this yellow chevron fabric that I got from Fabric Shoppe

I am planning on making some other ones - maybe trying different types of fabrics, flowers and changing the sizes too.  

What do you think? I'd love some feedback on it!!

I already have it in my Etsy Shop if you want to make it yours!

Blythes need Jayne Hats too!!!

I had been admiring Becky and Olivia's Blythes on their instagram feed and also on their Blog Oh Strumpets! Blythe too!  You need to check out their cute blog! Lots of cute pictures and even DIY for making dresses!!!

Recently Olivia asked if anyone could make a Jayne Hat for one of her dolls and I volunteered to give it a try. 

I think this might have been the turning point for me!

HOW STINKIN' CUTE IS THIS????

Ya, I'm a Blythe sell out!!!

I'll have to get my own so she can have a Jayne Hat too!!

My Week in Pictures - week 2

Week 2 had some exciting things.  

I did a lot more this week and somehow forgot to take pictures!

I'm going to get better at this!

Monday started with me working out on my own!  I've been going for 3 weeks to the Y but had a staff member show me different workouts those times.  Now I'm free to try everything on my own!

I've lost almost 10 pounds! I'm really excited for the progress I've made!

At one point in the week there were a few boys hanging out at our house just to watch my son play Skylanders -- I guess he is really good at the game!!!

I really love being a therapist with kids.  Especially when I get to share some of my geeky side with them to help them get better! I got to make a Captain America Shield for one of my kids this week.  I also realized that I have a lot of bunting in my office!! I need to add the bunting zipper pouch from Dreaming In Craft that I have to the picture!!

Friday we saw The Avengers with the kids!

 LOVED IT!

 GO SEE IT NOW!

Kira kept me entertained while we waited in line :)

Saturday was filled with baseball games.

I think my kids had more fun climbing the trees!!

AND I got some new fabric for a new craft I am going to try!!! 

I'll let you know how it turns out, or doesn't turn out!

What Time is it???

It's Adventure Time!!

I don't know how we missed this cartoon until just now but we are all obsessed over it! It is currently the only thing that will get my son out of bed for school in the morning!!!

Since falling in love with this show my son has been asking me to make him a Finn hat. I found a pattern on Ravelry but it wasn't working out right, but it did get the ball rolling.

It turned out cute but still needs some work. I'm hoping to get it perfected soon as my daughter now wants a Fiona hat :)

My son loves it! He wore it all day Sunday, even during church! Silly guy!!
