{newsboy crochet hat}

This is my little newsboy hat that I made a few months ago. I love how it turned out!  It is so tiny that I couldn't believe how big it was on this little guy.

{I'm a lucky girl}

Photobucket
I am such a lucky girl.  I have an amazing family & a few good friends.
My friend, Jen (this is her pinterest link) is the most awesome crafter & friend. She comes up with the greatest ideas for our craft group. She found a great deal for these mdf wood cutouts.  I only paid $4 for the large shamrock, the "Luck" & the 2 small shamrocks, now that's a great deal.  My large shamrock is covered with a napkin (how clever is that?), glued on with mod podge & then sealed with the mod podge over it. The really fun thing about this project is that she had a few ideas, but everyone did something different with their wood. I loved my valentine projects that I put in distressed frames so much that I wanted to do that technique again.
Photobucket
I added some green & yellow glitter to a few of the pieces.

{Emma's drawstring bag}

Photobucket
I love these little drawstring bags. This one I made for one of my daughter's friends, Emma.  These bags are great to carry make-up, polly pockets, hot wheel cars, tech decks, etc.  I have made several others that you can see my camera bag, Lauren's bag,  Cammi's bag (this one is a little bit skinny & I didn't like it so I adjusted the pattern), or Miranda's bag .  This one is similar, but not the same dimensions.  This can be a boy's toy bag as well, depending on the fabrics you choose.

If you would like to purchase a drawstring bag like this one they are $10 + shipping. You can choose different sizes:
small {approx. 7"(w) x 8" (h)}
medium {approx. 10" (w) x 12" (h)} ~shown above
or large {apprx. 13"(w) x 15" (h)}
 You choose a color scheme & you can suggest fabric prints that you would like.  I will try to find fabric as close to what you request as possible, but cannot guarantee an exact match.

{an over due turkey}

Photobucket
I thought that I posted my little turkey a few months ago, but I guess I didn't.  This was another fun project that my friend Jennifer came up with for our church craft group.  We used tongue depressors for the feathers & a paint stirrer for the neck/head.  I love how my little guy turned out!
