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.

Pin Cushion Jar

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!
