make it monday!

hello friends!

i've been deeply inspired....seeing all these blogs and crafting pictures on pinterest...oh boy!

i want to create sooooooooo badly!

i have to make good use of the little time i have,
when not taking care of 5 young beauties!
 but today i've purposed to make "something".

so after looking at this:

and this:

from my favorite new website !

it is super inspiring!!

so, i've decided to make a fabric flower today, and maybe every day this week!

and i want to challenge all of you crafters out there to make one too!!

join me in making a fabric flower--!
 and add it to a headband, or shoes, or use it on a present!

options are endless! :)

happy flower making!!

i love felt!
martha stewart you were soooooooo right at recommending felt! :)
so i'm experimenting (finally) with felt and i love it!!
looks so cool! in this pic i'm making a rice bag (you fill a bag full of rice and then you can stick it in the microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes). my children love sleeping with them at night...helps keep them warm at night! --like a cozy!
can't get enough of this creativity! where will it take me next??!

Ryan's christmas present!

yep! i made it! it is a quilt from all my old "fat"pants that i no longer wear!
there are some of his jeans in there too! i really wanted to make a quilt for the family to have,
and i'm really proud of how this turned out! i love it!! (so does he!)

so i basically just took pants and cut them up ...only did necessary trimming, but left

the pants as is, sewed them together!
i didn't know what i wanted for the back...maybe a flannel sheet or something..
so i ended up at the thrift store...found this polyester blanket for $1.50...it is soft!
so perfect, so i sewed it on! done! :)
it was alot easier than i thought!!
