Back in the Saddle

We had a fabulous summer!! I hope you did too. I am excited to introduce some new things into the shop!

Boo Boo Bags!! Little rice-filled cloth bags to heat or cool your little one's "owies."

Even tough boys need a boo-boo bag now and then so now they can look cool while nursing their wounds!

I've been having fun with bibs!

Girly bibs are too fun, but I promise some for the little men are coming soon!

And of course we can't forget the King! This potholder set is super-sized! Your hands will never get even close to touching anything hot! LOL Go check out the shop for ALL the new items!!

Minnie Mouse!!

While I was having a Chickalicious adventure last week with my friend, the crafty Kyla, I mentioned I'd been wanting to do some Disney potholders, but hadn't found any fabric I liked. She suggested I create a Minnie potholder, like the cupcake set I had made, with an applique. I was so excited to try it! I could picture it in my head, like the cupcake potholder that started it all.

I freehanded a head and bow...

voila!

Of all the polka dotted fabrics, I have always been drawn to Minnie's Red with White.

This one's for you Minnie!

New Fabric!!!

I got to do a little Memorial Day shopping yesterday with a fellow fabric addict. I have some special people in mind for these beauties!

Creating the Cupcake

I am passionate about a few things in my life. My family, fabric, ribbon, plants, and FOOD! Most especially cupcakes. I love them. I love the frosting. I love the look of them. I love that it's already packaged for consumption just for me. No cutting, no plate necessary. Just peel and eat. Perfect. So of course I wanted to combine my love of cupcakes with my love for sewing. I looked high and low for a cupcake pattern on the Internet, for free of course, but couldn't find one. So I made one.

Then I cut them out of fabrics and played around with different patterns together.

And I think they turned out pretty cute!

For these and other cute potholders, check out my Etsy shop!
