Ok so the beginning of this blog sucks and is totally random.
Maybe it will become something cool.
Maybe it will fizzle again.
Maybe I will be listening to hot 97's throwback at noon while writing this and mr. boombastic will come on and I will smile and laugh so truely out loud that I will have to explain dancing with Lee at Missy's sweet 16 to my students while they are making clay Gargoyles (true story).
So what have I been working on lately?
Becomming obsessed with others blog's! Like my brilliant bestie's http://iamnotyourguru.wordpress.com/
And lots of crafty ones, especially this one
Craftiness is not an option
and this one
Pink Paper Peppermints - crafty and spiritual!
They are so inspirational!
The only problem is they make me feel like I can do anything! sadly I cannot!
I was looking for a cute project for a friend of ours who was turning 1, all my go to projects are for girls so I was looking for inspiration and found this
from a cool looking etsy shop
but of course I wanted to make it myself because I love giving handmade gifts so I made one myself and discovered I suck at applique.
I started testing my skills on this onesie, for our little Violet and it looked great until I started sewing it. Then it looked like this
So I gave up on the testing and jumped right in. Here it is before I sewed it, it looked SO cute, I was SO proud of it
Sadley I did not remember to take an after picture and maybe I can get Luciano's mommy to take a pic of him in it for me someday but suficed to say that it ended up cute but I'm glad I was going for a frayed rustic kinda look because that is definately what I ended up with.
What's next?
I found an adorable daffodil print at walmart that I want to use to make this
