I made a sleeve before for my iPad but sometimes I get scared of it sliding out and breaking into a million pieces. I found this really cute faux fur, so I decided to make something cute from it ^^
The flap closes down and secures with velcro. The inside is lined with padded quilting fabric.
I managed to make this in one night :) It was fun, but now pink fuzzy faux fur dominates my office x_x
Just wanted to display some gifts I’ve been working on ^^
This is a Scooby Doo themed blanket and pillow set for my niece. I asked my sis what kind of edging she’d like for the blanket, and she said her daughter would like the fringe. It’s my first time making the “no sew” blanket, so it was fun try try something new :)

Hi all!
Hope you’ve had a nice start to the holidays. I closed my custom commissions and shop on the 19th, so I’ve been finishing up and shipping the last of the orders. Here’s the last custom commissioned keycharms of 2011 :)

Hey everyone!
Are you freezing? Are you feeling the holiday spirit? Me, not so much, because it’s in the 80s here in ol’ Louisiana, so it just feels icky. But still, that hasn’t stopped me from working on some holiday ornaments! I’ll actually have a tree this year, so I’ve been working on some handmade goodness. Most of the patterns I used were from doing a search on Deviantart for “ornament patterns”, other sites, or just by sewing up basic shapes. Deco’ing them was pretty simple, too :)
I made at least 2 of each for myself and my daughter. I’m trying to create a “tradition” for us. Maybe one day, she’ll take these for use for her own family tree :)

Halloween is so fun!
Now that I get to be more crafty with it with my daughter, we’re having fun eating candy and talking about pumpkins. I volunteered to do the snack for her preschool party. As soon as I saw this tutorial from Skip to My Lou, I had to try it!
At first I was going to do Frankenstein or the Ghost she has in the tutorial. Then I thought that might be scary for 3 year olds. Since the kids were also going to a pumpkin patch, ideas started to roll~
Made with black frosting writer, orange candy melts, green cookie frosting, and vanilla Oreos. My daughter is like me and doesn’t really like chocolate, so I thought I’d play it safe :)
