Felt Flower

My sister and I have started to make headbands and hair clips.  One that I have made was the flower made from felt.  I saw it on Martha Stewart, and I embellished it with sequence in the middle.  I then attached a hair clip to the back.  It's one of my favorite flowers and takes about 10 mins to make.

I really like the color combo of charcoal gray and lime green.  I'm thinking about making more and doing a trio on a headband.

Curtains

I have made most of the curtains in my house.  I thought that would be a nice way to save money, and then I learned it can actually be more expensive to make your own than it is to buy them.  It's a nice way to get just want you want though.  So for Parker's room:

Kinsley's room, I had to be creative with the top, because the length wouldn't be long enough, so I used ribbon:

The ones in my kitchen turned out best.  I used a sturdier fabric:

Next will be ruffle curtains for our bedroom :)

Ugly Monsters

My son is afraid of just about everything, one being monsters.  So I decided I was going to make him his own monster.  I told him, "Now with having your own monster that means no others can come by you."  I saw some really cute ones and thought to myself, 'Hey i could totally make that'.  Again this is one of those projects that I thought to myself, 'what am i getting myself into.'
I did it in 2 nights.  The first night was the cut out.  I used left over fabric from the Bam Bam Halloween costume I made 2 years ago, and some from baby receiving blankets.  The second night I sewed the monster.  I took me about 1 1/2 hours to sew.  I am by no means a professional sewing.
Here is my finished monster.

As you can see Parker loves his monster.  However he does still come in my room at night.  But it was well worth making it. 

Now I need to make one for Kinsley :)
