We have loved having this blog and posting about the things that we have made. Sadly, we have decided to end our blog. I have decided to start my own blog called Making Things for Boo, Cat, and Bam. Be sure to check it out! I am very excited about this new blog and blogging about the things I make for my girls and others. I started this blog to start completing the things that I have bookmarked

I made this baby dress for my sister's co-worker. This was my first time sewing with pre-ruffled fabric. I LOVE IT! It was easy to sew with and I love not having to make the ruffles. I made a peasant dress. I made the top, then added the pre-ruffled fabric for the skirt portion.

I made this dress today for my friend's new baby. She has two boys and is having her first girl. So exciting!! I loved how it turned out. I followed this tutorial to make it from Craftiness is not optional. I got the idea for the tie from this post.

I made this baby dress for my friend who just had a baby girl. I love, love the fabric and how it turned out. I followed this tutorial on Craftiness is not optional for the collar and sleeves of the dress. Her tutorial is for a top, but I made it longer and made a cute dress.

My niece practiced more of her sewing skills and helped my mom make sleeping bags and pillows for their stuffed animals. She did an awesome job sewing them.

My niece and my two daughters wanted to have pillowcases with pockets on them to hold their stuffed animals. My other niece practiced more of her sewing skills and helped me and my mom to make them. The girls love their new pillowcases and they turned out really cute!

I taught my niece how to make a simple elastic waistband skirt while she was visiting me. She picked the fabric out at the store and designed how she wanted her skirt to look. It looks great and she did a great job making it.

Have you checked out this challenge yet? I am trying it out and hoping that it motivates me to sew more! This is the first project that I finished for day one...a skirt for my daughter. I made it out of old jeans and some scrap fabric. I love, love how it turned out and I would like one myself!  Ruffles make everything cuter!

  I have found something else to make from Craftiness is not Optional.She is so talented and I love her site. I saw this post with the peasant top with a tie, and I wanted to make it for my Baby B. I love it! She really did not want me to take pictures so she laid on the floor...here is the back of the shirt! (I apologize for my photography skills...they are lacking in a major way.)  Peasant

My daughter has a field trip this week and she has to wear a red shirt. I didn't think it was a big deal until I looked in her closet and she owns zero red shirts. I decided to try and make one myself. My husband has a bunch of these red shirts so I started cutting away. Before I made a pattern first by tracing one of my daughter's shirts. (I love drafting patterns that way). The only hard

I made Easter dresses for my girls. I love how they turned out and loved making them! I followed this tutorial on Craftiness is not optional. I love her blog and all of her awesome tutorials!! I put invisible zippers in the dresses and it worked! I am scared of zippers and tend to stay away from them unless my mom is in town helping me :)

My very talented sister-in-law, Melissa, has started her own window treatment business and has a shop on etsy! She makes curtains like roman shades, hidden tab, rod pocket, and more! They can be custom fit for your window too. You pick your own fabric and Melissa does all the hardwork. Easy!!  Roman shades - These would be nice in any bedroom!

My husband made new beds for our girls and they turned out awesome! I love them!! It really opened up their room and gave them more space to play. He made the bottom bed tall enough to slide their dressers underneath freeing up even more floor space. He is so talented and he made up the plans for it. He sketched them out on google sketchup, made a cut list, and then started building. We were

Cutest baby boy! When my best friend asked me if I would make her little boy a tie, I was very excited. I make a lot of girl things, but not many boy things. With the extra fabric, I made her husband a matching tie (she makes them match for church sometimes)! Then she wanted a matching skirt too. She sent me these pictures of their matching outfits. I love it! I want to make him a bow tie next.

My sister has been asking me to make a doll for her little girl so I made one to match the dress I made her. I am calling it the Riley doll, after my cute niece. For the dolls hair, I got the idea from the dolls that mmmcrafts made. I love how she added the cute pigtails and hair accessories. So cute! I used the Black Apple doll pattern to make the doll. I love making those dolls. My kids have

I have said all of this before, but I love allrecipes.com and I love Bountiful Basket!! I plan my menu for the week based on what I get in my basket. We eat a lot healthier sincbased on those two ingredients. This recipe is soo delicious! I am going to give you the recipe how I made it, then I will give you the original recipe.

I found this Rag Quilt Letters tutorial on this awesome blog, happy together. She has such cute ideas! I made these for my 18 month old for Christmas. I did not quilt my letters and I just made them from some left over fabric. They are all made from cotton. All three of my kids play with these letters all the time. I love them!!

I have a really hard time giving clothes to goodwill. I do not have a problem going through my closets, but giving them away is a problem for me. I just know that I could make those clothes into something else. I went through my closet recently and kept a lot of shirts and jeans. I made one of my shirts into a skirt for my daughter. I did not take a picture of the shirt before. It was a v neck

For my Christmas present this year, my husband surprised me with a miter saw. (I know it is not Christmas yet, but my husband does not know how to wait until Christmas!) I have been asking for one ever since I found Ana's awesome site ana-white.com. You have to check it out! She is so talented and has a ton of building plans.

My baby is almost 18 months old and I don't make the itty bitty baby things anymore, except for gifts. I made this skirt, little baby booties, and headband for my friend's new baby girl. The fabric is corduroy again. I have a lot of corduroy right now. It keeps going on sale! I love making these baby shoes. I got the pattern from Stardust shoes. They are so easy to make. I used the same fabric as

Well, not much crafting has been happening at my house between my family and the four classes I am taking this semester. It is so sad, but I managed to finally finish this dress. I won't tell you how long it just sat on my sewing desk waiting to be hemmed... 5 months too long! I love corduroy fabric and I love when I find it for really cheap!!

My 3-year old even ate it and that girl does not eat anything, really pickest eater I have ever seen. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, but I listened to some of the reviews and changed things.

I love, love this skirt I made for my daughter. I just love the fabric. I used the McCall's pattern M5455. Since I used cotton fabric and not a stretch knit fabric, I changed the back of the skirt and added two buttons. I know the pictures are horrible...I took them with my phone, but my camera is still broken :(

I have been trying out so many new recipes, ever since I started doing Bountiful Baskets. I have to use everything in my basket so I have been cooking a lot more, and eating a lot more healthy. I got this recipe out of my latest issue of my Parents magazine. It was so yummy and light. My kids even ate it all up. The first time I made it, I substituted zucchini for the eggplant. The second time I

My daughter really needed pajama pants so I decided to try and make some. I folded the fabric in half, laid a pair of her pants down and cut around them. Measure, cut, sew...she can actually wear them and walk in them :) These pants were a lot easier to make then I thought they would be. Making pants kinda scare me. You should try it! I made them after she went to bed and I really wanted to

 My oldest daughter is starting kindergarten this year! They have to wear collared/polo shirts. My daughter was bummed about this, because she lives in dresses. One of her polo shirts were too short on her, so I made it into a dress. She is ready for her first day! Gotta love her shoes that she picked to wear with her dress :)

I had two black frames with a matte in it for 4 pictures (sorry no pictures of the original). I did have 4 pictures in it for years. I decided that I wanted something different. We just got family pictures taken and used my frames to make this. I took the matte out, then I put my ribbon and buttons down. I used my scrapbooking dots to stick the ribbon and buttons in place.

My three year old keeps asking me to make her a dress, so I made this for her yesterday. I love the fabric and it is so lightweight...perfect for the Arizona heat. I think I am obsessed with ribbon accents, because it tends to end up on almost everything that I make.

For the waistband and the ribbon tie, I used this Twirly Skirt Tutorial from house on hill road's site. It is a great tutorial and was easy to do.

I have been ordering Bountiful Baskets for the past couple of months. I love it! Go check out the website to find out what it is :) I get all of my fruits and veggies from them and my bread for so cheap. I even share my basket with a friend, because there is so much. My meals now center around what I get in my Bountiful Basket and you never know what you are getting until you pick it up. I was

For my girl's stocking stuffers, I made them some chalkboard placemats. They love them! We were going on a big car trip and thought that it would be something fun to bring in the car. I will attempt a tutorial on how I made them. I didn't take pictures and I hope the tutorial makes sense without...sorry! Materials: -1/2 yard of chalkboard fabric (it totally stinks when the store cuts it, but

You should check it out. She has an awesome circle quilt tutorial. Here is the link for the second part of the tutorial. This is my next project. I am in love with this quilt. I can't explain it.

I came across this blog, Lil Blue Boo, while I was blog stalking. And I found a tutorial for a border fabric sundress. It was just what I was looking for! I already started making a dress for my little baby girl from scrap fabrics that I had. I was just piecing some coordinating fabric together to make the main piece of the dress. I was trying to figure out how to finish it, and that's when I

What you need: Fleece (2-3 colors) Sewing machine scissors cuttingboard I made 13 of these for my daughter's gymnastics team. I did 3 of their colors but then did 2 colors for her coach. I think I like the 2 colors better. But the 3 also are cute. You could do one color if that is all you wanted to buy of fleece since it can get pricey. Depending on how many you are making will depend on how

I was looking for a cute Halloween tutorial to do this week and came across this really cool one. You can do it for any season or have one hanging year round. It is from The Long Thread blog about a year ago. Such a cute idea. Since it takes a lot of ribbon, try buying in bulk online rather than at the craft stores to make it alittle bit more inexpensive. Have fun and any finished projects, we

This goes along with Katie's post a few weeks ago. Katie and I had bought these bare books. I made mine into teacher gifts for the end of the year. They went over as big hits. It was easy and fun to make. I used the 8x8 books since I had a lot of pictures.

I found this super cute gift to make for any occasion or to make for yourself on Crafting Chicks. Cute photo books using Bare Books. You can find Bare Books here. I made my first photo book with the 5x5 bare book. I also ordered the 8x8 and that is my next project. For the pages, I used digital scrapbooking and printed out the pages. Then I used mod podge to put the printed pages on the book.

Here is this weeks Tutorial. A day late sorry. I took a clipboard shaped like a heart and painted it a rose color. I did a few coats until it got to the deisred darkness that I wanted. I used acrylic paint. Then I painted in the clip part. I just used markers and then after the paint was dry I decorated it with rub-ons.

Cross Stitching TutorialI love to cross stitch but have had much time to do it lately. I decided to work on a cross stitch project that would only take a few hours to do.

I have recently been trying to find a cute pot to decorate to put my wooden letters in that I did last week. I had decided that though they are cute hanging on a wall, I had another idea in my head that I wanted to do. I finally found a pot even though it has some grooves on it. It did not turn out perfect, but I think that all handmade things show more personality if they are flawed. That is

You can do as little or as many squares and pictures as you want, different fabrics, and you can also make it into a wall hanging instead of a quilt.This was the first photo quilt that I made several years ago for my best friend.Photo
