Quietbook!!!!!!!!

I have finally finished most of my pages for my quietbook and I’m finally posting it!…….I have about 6 more pages I hope to be adding soon (I’ll post them as I finish them).

I made it so it closes with a button; it should be able to expand with more pages. I also put button holes in all the pages and then have used metal rings so I can add and take out pages as she grows!

Now for the pages:

Paper and crayons

Four Puzzles: Star, heart, and soon to make flower and smiley face.

Love this page!…Flower pot (flowers come off)…hand stitched everything!

This is the page I am most proud off! Noah’s Arc with finger puppet animals. ….I have many more animals to make. If you look close you’ll see even my clouds are fluffy!

And then my shapes page….SO far this is my daughters favorite page!

This has been a very fun project…..as I said I’ll post more as I make them!

Flip flops with flare!

I went to Old Navy this week to get my daughter some new sandals. All they had were size 5 and she’s not quite there yet. So this is what I did……..

I cut the elastic off and then put my own ribbon through, tied it tight, and then hand stitched it so it would come apart when she plays with it!

So easy!……They work great and I think they look better this way!

American Flag Cake Pops W/ Cheesecake Center! Yummy!

My husband had a dessert contest at work so this is what we made! It went pretty good for our first time ever making them! He got lots of great comments from his co-workers! I’ll let ya know if we win!!!

The Center was cheesecake!!!! It tasted really good!

I made these stars….it took awhile!

I put water in the pan on the stove which helped to keep the candy melt soft! Made everything much easier!

If you’d like the recipe I got it from Willow Bird Baking. Just click HERE to see it.

DIY–Black shelves!

This was a fun and quick project! I had some wood left over from some vinyl plaques I made so I painted them black and then bought some black supports to screw them to the wall!!!

I was very happy with how they turned out. But I’ve now decided that I’m going to paint that wall red so they’ll have to come down and then go back up again!!

Décor from the Goodwill!!!!

I’ve wanted to create something for my hallway for a long time, but just couldn’t find what I wanted. Then one day I was walking through Goodwill and found these….they were bran new from Target!!

I also got two pairs of shorts while I was there! One pair for 2 bucks, the second pair were bran new from Target for 6 bucks!

It was a score at the Goodwill that day!

Nursing Cover for My Sis in Law

I made this nursing cover a couple months ago for my sis-in-law and I’m just now posting it!….I’m very behind again.

I thought it turned out really cute!

Cart/High Chair Cover....

I've gotten tired of my baby sucking on the grocery cart

...so here is the solution.

This was very easy to make. I had a pattern but ended up not following all the instructions cause they made it harder then it needed to be. I love the pink fabric, gotta love the sale rack! I'll add a pic after our first time using it!

Vinyl for My Bathroom

It took me awail to decided what I wanted for my bathroom,

and now I'm happy with my choice!

Be Clean...get it!!!

My husband doesn't really know what to think of this, but I love it!

Vinyl in My Kitchen

I finally filled the black spot above my sink!

What do ya think?!

I love it, and yes I get kissed more often now!!

So happy it turned out good!

Cooler For my Diaper Bag!!

There have been a lot of times that I've wanted to keep a snack cold but haven't had anything to put it in. So......with some leftover fabric from my diaper bag and some thermal batting from JoAnn's I made my own.

It was very simple, but the thick thermal batting was sometimes frustrating!!

The Perfect Diaperbag!

This has to be one of my favorites!!

I made my own pattern for this diaper bag; and now it's perfect for all of my needs.

Here it is:

I love the colors and fabric!
You can't tell here, but it really is huge!

I loved how the button turned out! I got this idea from another bag pattern I have and just adapted it to the way I wanted, you might have to enlarge it to see what I did.

I love the inside!! There are pockets on each side (I planned their sized based on what I would use them for) and the divider makes is so much easier to stay organized!

HINT: If you decide to make your own pattern I would draw out your pattern on tissue paper and then cut it out. This made it much easier for me, it was big enough so I didn't have tape pages together.

Here you can kinda see how big it is.

I LOVE IT!!!!

I used home decor fabric for the outside and the lining as well - I wanted it sturdy!

I also used fusible interfacing so my bag is really firm.

And for the base and I got a plastic net from JoAnn's that is used for yarn needle projects; it works perfectly and it was only $1.

In summary........ I LOVE MY DIAPER BAG!

I really feel stylish now!

Reversible Vinyl Blocks

Here's my latest vinyl project! I wanted blocks that would work for spring decor, but that I could also use through the rest of the year, so here's how they turned out.....

For Spring:

For the rest of the year:
