Cricut Covers

I made a cover for my Cricut machine, it is super cute and I love it! I actually enjoyed making it. My friend offered to pay me to make one for her so it got me thinking, I really should sell my projects. So I have an Etsy shop in the works. I need to get some projects made to get started with but I am really excited about it. I think that I could do well with it and it would keep me busy until we live somewhere with a salon I want to work in again. I love working on crafts anyway, why not make a profit doing it. 

Anyway, I want to share the covers that I made with you. 

First, the one I made for myself. I love the bright cheery fabric and the fact that the buttons match almost perfectly. 

I put a pocket on the back of mine to hold my USB cable that I hook to my computer with. It turns out that with the cord in it it's too heavy and falls off. I push it against the wall and it works just fine. Kind of redneck, but everything in my craft room is.

This is the one that I made for my friend. She requested pink, a little sparkle, and a "C". I think I did just that. It turned out really cute.

Another friend of mine asked me to make a cover for her silhouette. It looks a little strange because it is on my Cricut, which it doesn't quite fit. I think it turned out really cute though. She says it makes her happy every time she walks past it, which in turn makes me happy! I love when my projects bring joy to people. 

I made a few cute cards lately too but I will share them with you another time. This is all I have the motivation to share at the moment. It's not that late and I am getting tired, I really am an old lady. I will be sure to let you all know if I get an Etsy shop up and running. 

Craft Bag and Hook Case

So, I am terrible at this blog thing. So glad that I never said how often I would post. I have a few things that I have done since I posted last. But the one I decided to talk to you about is my new craft bag and the hook case I made to match.

The bag is fabulous. I am so in love with it. In fact I think the afghan I am woking on may be to big of a project for my bag but I love it to much to go back to my big bag. You can find the pattern HERE.

I made a fabric liner to go in it so that things wouldn't fall through.I am particularity proud of my scissor pocket and pocket for my ergonomic crochet hook.

My new cute bag all finished with my newest project (minus the actual project and the purple).

I also made a cute little hook case to match. It holds everything I need. I make it to match my bag.  You can find the pattern HERE

I changed the front cover a little to match the bag a little better, I simply substituted a row of cross stitches for two rows of singles. I have had the pink rhinestone button for a long time, I am so excited that I found something to use it on.

 If you look close the fabric I used for my liner is under the front cover of the case.

I love how well they match! It makes me happy.

I made a few dust covers for the Cricut machine that I will share with you in the future, I also made a few little changes to my craft room (which I think I mentioned before). As for now, I will end with a sneak preview of my new afghan that I just started.

Baby Z Arrives

My friend had her baby. And he is the tiniest, cutest, most precious little boy ever. I am pretty much in love with him. I had a few more little things to give to him when he was born and I will share them with you now.

I think this may be one of the funniest projects that I have ever made, it's a pro-breast feeding hat. I will agree that it is a little silly how offended people are by breast feeding. I got the pattern HERE.

The next thing I made was these adorable little lion booties. One of the cutest pairs booties that I have made to date. I got the pattern for these HERE. I broke my rule and payed for a pattern, but it was very well worth it. It was written well and they turned out adorable. I am not a huge fan of the face on one of them, I even took it apart and tried to fix it. Oh well, I guess thats the character of hand made items. 

I saw a picture on pinterest of a baby with a mustache pacifier and about died laughing, so I put these together real quick for her. It was super easy since I have the Mustaches & Glasses digital cartridge. The original post is HERE

I of course had to make a cute card to go with all of this adorable baby stuff. I combined a few different cards that I saw to create this one. Since I am kind of a sentimental person I saved some ribbon from her shower and used it to create the bow. I am not sure that she noticed but it made me happy. 

Since this card kind of had a lot going on and is rather large it was going to be difficult to make an envelope for so I just made a little pocket in the wrapping and stuck the card there. 

Thats all I have for baby Z (for now). But I do have one other thing that I would like to share with you. Ever since I saw a picture of a kitten wearing a bow tie I have been obsessed with getting one for Max. I found a pattern on pinterest for a crochet little boy bow tie. PERFECT. The pattern can be found HERE

He looks so adorable in his bow tie and now I love him even more.

Thats all I have to share for now. I just finished a crochet tote/project bag but I want to sew a liner for it before I show you. I think I am going to make a case for my hooks that matches as well so I may do that and show it to you at the same time. I also have a few cards to share after they are delivered. So see you then :)
