Felt Crayon Roll

Um...crayons. Need I say more?

DIY Christmas Present Season, Volume 2

My nephew likes to color, and by color, I mean stab the paper and draw random lines. But he's two, so we don't judge. His mommy is 8+ months preggers so it takes a lot of effort to get out all of his coloring items, not to mention that in a few weeks, he won't be the center of attention for a while and needs something to keep himself busy.

I found this tutorial over at Skip to my Lou, and while it's cute (see below), little man doesn't really like flowers. I decided to change the design a little, but having Cindy's framework for the project helped a lot.

(Can one of my friends hurry up and have a little girl so I can make a flowery one?) Wishes aside, I love the way my baseball version turned out.

It's that time of year again!

DIY Christmas Present Season

For the first installment, I present to you...

I found this tutorial over at Make It & Love It. I'll post my version here however because mine turned out slightly different than Ashley's. And by slightly different, I really mean (hers are better than mine.)

But no hard feelings because this was my first attempt. Onward to the tutorial!

Back and Better Than Ever!

Hello friends!

I have not been around in a really long time. Last year was pretty rough for me, but I'm in a much better place now. I have a new and better! job (Assistant Band Director), I got married, and I feel a lot better about myself and my life.

I redid the site and have quite a few projects coming your way in the next few weeks!

But first...

ONE OF MY VERY BEST FRIENDS IS PREGGERS!!!

She had her baby shower a few weeks ago and I made her something special. I had collected a few ideas on Pinterest, but I settled on this one:

The link took me to BLISSFULpatterns' Etsy shop where you can purchase the pattern. After the time it took me to figure it out on my own, I wish I had just bought the pattern. But alas, I'm stubborn, so I did everything myself.
