Creating Gifts

My cousin turns 4 this week and his party is tomorrow. I thought this would be perfect.


Hmmm...what is it? Here's a hint:


It's a chalkboard mat! Chalkboard on the inside; waterproof baseball print on the outside. I just need to get the chalk and it will be perfect for my cousin!

And the crafternoon dilemma has been solved. I have been wanting to try to make a clutch, so I did! I used leftover silk from a sling I made and Alexander Henry's Mocca print on the inside. I love how this turned out. I think this will be a great teacher and friend gift for Christmas.



I finished a dress for Ava-Grace last night. This is my pattern I drafted and love! I love it because it's easy, sassy and can be used for hot or cold weather (provided you add a tee).

Fabric is from Amy Butler.


And I JUST got my Duo from my friend Priscilla at Be-Bops
Priscilla is amazingly creative and crafty. Her work is always gorgeous!

Here is one side and you know...I think I will make Ava-Grace a dress from this Amy Butler Brown Lacework fabric - matches perfectly!


And the other side - it matches the red in the dress I just made.


And one more project in the wings. I'm halfway done knitting a soaker from yarn I won in a drawing from Brad and Nada.
It's Secret Garden on Aran weight BFL.
