Evie the Elf is the first little elf doll I made a few weeks ago. I've been so busy with custom orders and Christmas gifts that I haven't had time to update all of these fun projects here.
You can order a custom elf doll in my Etsy shop here
Also, come see a few other versions of this cute little doll here & here.

This cute little guy was a custom order for Julie.
She saw my Evie the Elf doll and wanted a boy version, so I did a little adjusting and made him look more like a boy, although I still think he's so cute that he still looks a little "girly".

I did a little sewing for Halloween this year. Above is my oldest daughter. I made her shorts and her mask (she painted it and I sewed it) and she made her tutu and painted the spider on her shirt.
Above is the dress I made for my oldest daughter's best friend. She was an ice princess. I wish I could have gotten a picture of her all dressed up with her hair and make-up done and with her tiara on. She looked really good. This dress was very difficult to make. I've made several formals now, but this one by far was the hardest.
Minnie Mouse is my 2nd oldest daughter. I made her dress and she made her ears.
These are my 3rd and 4th oldest girls. On the left is my 15 year old, doing face painting at our church's trunk-or-treat last night. I never got a good picture of her costume. She made her tutu. And my 13 year old daughter (on the right), she's the only one I didn't have to make anything for. My 15 year old did the 13 year olds make-up.
My oldest son was a mummy. My husband and I tore up an old sheet and another large piece of fabric that I had into strips and tied them together. It literally took almost an hour to wrap him up.
And my youngest boy was a lumberjack. My husband made his axe and the rest was all stuff we already had. My 15 year old daughter did his make-up for his beard. This was a very simple costume. We had a lot of fun this year.
I always love seeing the creative ideas my kids come up with. Happy Belated Halloween!

This was another one of our craft group projects that we made about a month ago!
The pennants are made from pages from an old book, then distressed with ink. The eggs are made from two-layers of scrapbook paper (giving a 3d effect) and then glued to the page. The pages then are glued to the twine.
If you would like to purchase an egg pennant banner like this one they are $12 {+ shipping, if applicable}. The twine measures approximately 88" wide from end to end. Colors may vary slightly depending on availability. Contact me at: chelscraps (@) yahoo.com.

Some friends and I made these Easter wreaths out of tulle about a month ago. It needed something more, so I made these little chicks to add to it and I love how they turned out so I made more for my bookshelf.

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.
I added some green & yellow glitter to a few of the pieces.

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!
