Baby, Baby, Baby
With a new baby on the way, I was excited to make a lot of things. Between all the time I have to wait for baby and the excitement of my first little one, I was definitely in the crafting mood. Here's a few things that I made for the nursery...

Shower Curtain
This project has been in the works for months. I bought a clear curtain lining when we moved in, intending to make a shower curtain. Time got away from me and we had a lot of friends and family come to visit. I'm sad to say they showered with a clear shower curtain liner and no shower curtain. :(
But it's fixed now!
I used this inspiration/tutorial and made my own shower curtain!
So now everyone should come visit. Showers are guaranteed to be better!

Boxwood Topiary
I love these things. They're so adorable. And expensive. And then I found one I loved...but it wasn't the right size.
Solution?
Make my own, thank you very much.
I used this tutorial to figure it out.
Here is my final product. I think I like it best because I made it. Mine. Ownership baby.
I love it.
Pillow Series
So last year my nieces redecorated their bedroom, and around that time my niece turned 13. So, I made one pillow. Then I made another pillow. Now there are 6 kids down and 2 to go.
They've been so much fun to make...
I like them all in different ways. They each definitely match the personality of the person I gave them to.
I like this one especially because I used my silhouette to cut out the letters and it was so easy!
And on that note, THE SILHOUETTE CAN CUT OUT FABRIC!!!! Just when I thought it couldn't get any cooler, it did! If you're thinking about getting one, do it. It is so worth it. I use mine a few days a week for just this and that. And it's so fun. And the machine goes on sale regularly - just watch it. The good deals are out there. My husband found mine on ebay. so sweet!
Anywho, making pillows have been fun. Give it a try, it's so easy!

Love is In the Air
I was inspired by this so I came up with this:
Then I saw this idea and just couldn't resist making my own:
Happy Valentine's Day!
