Yellow turquoise earrings and necklace

This is a set of earrings and necklace I made the other night. I've had these yellow turquoise beads for over a year and finally was inspired to put it together. The best part - all this stuff has been sitting around for over a year - no new investment involved. So a new set of jewelry to wear with no current out of pocket expense!

 

 

Hey, Where's Perry?

With our upcoming trip to Disney this Holiday season I wanted Little Man C to have something special to wear. Princess A has her Princess Aurora costume that she wore for Halloween (I promise to post photos!), but still needed something for him. He adores Perry the Platypus from Pheneas and Ferb, so the hunt was on.

I saw this shirt on-line, but wasn't willing to pay 17 dollars for a screen printed T...so I decided to make my own.

Got my T at Hobby Lobby for 3.99, all the other fabrics were left over's from other projects.

So for 4 dollars (a fraction of the cost) Little Man C now has this shirt to wear at Disney.

This was my first real aplique project, and I think it went pretty well.

I feel inspired to try more, who knows what else I can come up with.

 

Book/Bible Cover

I'm such a bad blogger, I know I'm gone way too long in between.

But it seems life just gets in the way.

I started going to a bible study in September of this year, and really am enjoying it. I bought a brand new bible (mine was a bit "outdated" - I know hard to say about a book written forever ago!). I didn't want my beautiful bible to get all beat up, and thought I should make a cover for it. I could then include a pocket for pens and such, and add some book marker ribbons -
ever so handy when doing a study.

So here you have it. I just came home this afternoon and tossed it together quick. I was actually amazed it turned out on my first try. It's a bit snug, but being cotton it will stretch. And I just adore this Amy Butler fabric. I have a purse all cut out and ready to be sewn together out of the same stuff.

The sewing never ends.....
