Soaps....

After getting this great Martha Stewart book I have been inspired by soap. I have been to busy to do anything to time consuming and this seems to be perfect. This morning I woke up and made 7 bars of soap while I drank my coffee. It is so easy and has endless creative possibilities. I am excited!!! The bottom bars are just clear glycerin with lavender flowers and honey almond scent. The orange bars are white glycerin with orange peel scrub. The gray bar (which was supposed to be brown) is a shea butter eucalyptus bar I made for my husband. And the green one is just a green glycerin bar from left over soap that I dyed to use later in something else (not sure what just yet...). This is a super easy craft and I plan to have a lot of fun with it.

Camera Bags

I made these cute little bags for my girls. They don't know it yet but they are getting cameras for having such a great school year. Happy summer!

Monkeys, monkeys, everywhere.....

Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys :-)
These are all for my baby cousin - she is having a baby this month and chose monkeys. I had a little bit of fun, can you tell?

The ribbon is tied around 4 burb clothes I made with the extra fabric. Great and super easy idea!

Sewing Machine Cover

I can't believe I didn't post a picture of this. I made this sometime in December before I closed the door to my sewing room for a few months. My sewing room has glass doors so every time I walk past I can see the cups and it makes me smile :-).

2010

I realized last week that I have not spent more than 5 minutes in my sewing room since December - very sad :-(. A lot has been going on in our busy little corner of the world. I spent Mother's day hanging out with my son and although it killed him he spent a few hours in JoAnn's with me so I could pick up fabric. One of my baby cousins is having a baby soon and I am so excited to make another baby quilt. Here is the fabric I bought. I have already cut most of the squares out and hopefully I will begin sewing by this weekend.
