Friday Fetch

Soo....here is my post with all of the crafts I forgot to post.  I made a separate post so I hopefully don't bore everyone to tears with novel size posts.......I can get kind of "wordy".

So, without further ado....

More button bracelets:

Ebony and Ivory

Merlot and Chardonnay

Citrus Surprise

The Wine one is in a box because I gave it to a friend of mine who was hosting a wine tasting at her home.  I thought it would be perfect.

I also had the same friend ask me if I had any owls made up that would be suitable for a baby shower for a little boy.  I DID have one, but it was more of a neutral green, so I decided to make one for her out of denim with green accents.  I thought it would be more boyish.  I always take pictures of them, but forgot.....she was gracious enough to send me one with her camera phone before she gifted it, so here is the little owl I made him:

He was about 9 or 10 inches tall.....all sewn on pieces so he would be safe for a wee one!

Alright, I think I am caught up now.  TGIF everyone!

Flirty owls

So, I was playing around with scraps I had.  Not really enough to do much with, but I did have enough to make some small owls.....so I did! LOL

I decided to give them some eyelashes.....just to see how it looked.  I think it is cute, but I am not happy with the purple ones wings.....too stubby and boxy!

and a little green one....I think I like the smaller eyelashes on her

I am in the process of messing around with the shapes to see what I like best, but in the meantime I am using up scraps to make some cuties!

Oh....and I have a better picture of the present for my Mother in law.  I think it turned out cute, and am in the process of making something for my best friend for the premier of Eclipse using the washer necklace idea as well......I'll post it after it is done :)

MIL present:

and a better picture of the washer necklaces complete with their cords/beads:

grrrr....I'm sick! :(

My little one gave me his cooties, and now my throat feels like I swallowed glass, and my nose is creating colors that should not be possible in humans!

I was working on the blanket I am doing for a friend of a friend, and after working on it ALL DAY Tuesday it was only 5 inches longer than when I started.....I am frustrated.  This blanket is now my nemesis!

So yesterday, I took a break from it, and played around with the fabric that I bought.  I made both of my sons a sleeping mask, and I made another owl.  My son likes it and said it looks like it has googly eyes! LOL

Now off to wally world to buy some mod podge and sealer for my pots I want to decorate.

Whoo....whoo...whoo

Owls, owls everywhere!

So, after playing around a bit, and trying different patterns, I think I have come up with one that I am happy with.  I used the same basic idea as the lunch sack owl, but made one side longer to create a triangle so I can  fold that down and make it easier to fully stuff, and sew shut.

With this week being Teacher Appreciation week, I decided to make some for the kids teachers.....owls are wise, right?  So, here is my collection of owls....

I  Also took some pics of the hair accessories I gave to Bailey with her owl, and thought I would share, since this is kind of my craft "journal".

Busy, busy weekend!

WOW!

Well, I have started working on the afghan for my friend of a friend project. I had to figure out the stitch that was used, and was able to pretty fast, but it is taking a long time to get through a row. I figure it is only about 1/4 of the way done, but I was given the yarn stash as well, so that is good.

While I was working on that, I heard my kids talking to the neighbor girl behind us, who frequently talks to them over the wall. We have yet to set up a playdate with them, but they talk almost every day! LOL Her mom came out ans said they are having a birthday party for her on Monday afternoon, and she wanted my kids to come over. I said we would, and now the gift hunt begins.

I was thinking webkinz, but her mom said she is not sure she wants her on the computer, so.....I decided handmade it is. BUT....what to make?

I could make her some hair things, and feed my obsession.....

or......

I saw this online, and thought one of my new pieces of fabric would make a cute little animal. I could make her a matching headband or something
Bag owl

I thought I could sew the fabric like a paper bag, then fold it how they show, and stitch it up....make a little owl. We'll see if it turns out! LOL

alrighty....off to bed now so I can wake up for church tomorrow!
