I SPY - Handmade Edition

I've been completely MIA lately!  My poor little blog has gotten absolutely NO attention.  Boo!  

However, I sort of, and I emphasize SORT OF, have a teeny tiny excuse....I know we all loathe excuses but I think you won't really mind when you see mine.

I've been up to my eyeballs in baby shower planning!  My mom, my sister and I threw my other sister a baby shower this weekend.  I have so many pictures and can't wait to share all of the fun handmade goodies that went into this shower!  It was fabulous.  I couldn't post as I went along because what if my sis saw my owl amazingness and then it ruined the whole surprise?  Not cool!  So I have it all locked away on my dad's digital camera to be released on an unknown future date.  

Way to be specific, huh?

Onto the real post for today:

I SPY - Handmade Edition!  

Purple Swirl Boxy Pouch

I LOVE these sweet little pouches!  

They are perfect for makeup bags but I also had a woman buy four from me last fall because she keeps her medications and diabetes testing kits in them!  

My first attempt at a rosette bib necklace.  

Though it's very cute I think I will just leave the necklace making to the ever so talented Brittany @ Love Stitched

My new throw pillows which you can read more about Here

I love my version of the ButterCup Bag.  

You can get the pattern to make your very own here

And here is the one with a strap 

(sorry for the yucky pic below and the sideways one above. 

My computer is being, um, argumentative today. grr!) 

My favorite envelope bag!  I want to use it everyday!

Here is a little craft project I did about a year ago.  

This idea came from Holly @ 504 Main.

I emailed her a pic of the finished project 

(before I had a blog and knew anything about linking up and all that jazz) 

and guess what?!  

She wrote back to me!  And said I made her day.  AWESOME!

Here is a Wavy Little Cuddler that I can't wait to wrap my little niece or nephew in!  Just a few more weeks!  Yahoo!  

You can read more about this quick little quilt here.

I suppose that will do it for today! 

 I had such a great time brining out some of my old DIY goodies!  

Don't forget to stop by 

Little Miss Momma 

to see what everyone else is showing off this week! 

Cheers!

A Wavy Little Cuddler for BABY P!

So, I had all of these fun little quilting squares left over from a project for my nephews.....um, I think over three years ago!    

Not only was I getting annoyed that they were taking up room in my drawers but I was also getting annoyed with myself for not doing something with them; I mean I had already done the hard part!  Come on girl.....get to it!

For those of you who don't know, I'm going to be an auntie in June!  This is the first baby on my side (as I wrote before I have nephews - two gorgeous twin boys from my husband's side) and my family is SO EXCITED!  The FIRST grandchild, the first niece or nephew, the first tiny human being to enter this family in almost 30 years.  We are THRILLED!

This little one clearly is in need of a cute cuddly buddy - so auntie got to work to create one.  

Hope you like it.....I'm just loving it! 

The squares are cotton with little coordinating circles zig-zag stitched on top.  There is a "WAVY" river down the middle of soft & cuddly fleece!  The backing is a green fleece and Oh-So-Soft!

CHEERS!
