Last minute birthday gift: Name plaque!

I was having trouble figuring out something to get my 9 year old Niece, who literally has EVERYTHING. I was just going to give her some money so she could spend it on whatever she wanted, but my Sister told me that they're going to be moving soon and she wants to decorate her room. She's doing lilac, periwinkle, and purplish pink colors, and all things mythical. Fairies, sprites, unicorns, and horses (her favorite). I decided to go with a fairy blowing some fairy dust and an elvish looking font, plus some fun little flowers and a butterfly. I was so happy with how it turned out, especially since I started it probably 18 hours before my Niece's party! My Niece and my Sister went nuts over it :) And since it barely cost me $4 in materials (I had a lot of the stuff on hand), I was still able to give her money towards her decorating fund!

I'm baaaaaaack

I think I have my computer issues fixed, so hopefully I won't drop off the face of the planet again anytime soon! I've been busy the past couple months and wanted to share some of the stuff I've made.


Happy Valentines Day! I made the girl's matching ruffle pants and a pillowcase tunic because I am a huge nerd. They turned out so cute XD


I made a little doll holder for all those princess dolls that are too special to be stuffed in a toy box :P


And a bed for all those Polly Pockets my 3 year old insists on bringing to bed with her.


A wallet that didn't turn out quite right, so I'll be making a bigger, better version soon.


Finally working on some paintings for the 14 month old's room. I made the banner back when I was pregnant :)

I still need to take and post pictures of the stuff I made for my Niece for Christmas (model horse accessories), the Barbie couch and table I made for my 3 year old, and the fabric baskets I made for the kitchen! I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but that's enough for now. I'm going to post my first tutorial soon, for a little Leapster travel bag! Plenty of room for games and batteries, and of course the Leapster system itself. Here's a little preview of the inside for now:


I promise the outside is much cuter ;)
