Ran into a friend yesterday with the Chevster and he took this great instagram photo. :)

Wedding Wreaths

After consulting with my mom and her flower friend while in Michigan- the final wedding wreath design was decided on. I am pretty happy with it if I do say so myself. 

The felt flower pattern I used is from purl bee's rose barrette pattern,

and I purchased 12 styrofoam wreath bases for only like $30 with shipping from save on crafts. Great site if you are making bulk crafts- The wreaths were like $3.50 each at the craft store. Yay online shopping win! 

bachelorette party

Back from Chicago and Michigan where I saw my ladies and my family! Also got to spend some quality time with Katie's bunny! (Of under the red umbrella).

I have a lot of updates soon!

Yap Wrap

So I was in a little boutique-y pet store the other day and came across these yap wraps.

And I thought they were so cute- but Chevy Chase (my fur baby Rat Terrier) is so broad chested they wouldn't fit him and I was sad.

But then I realized I could make one for him.

I made a prototype last night,

and am working on the finished product but it is pretty spot on.

I can't post a tutorial though, because I'm pretty sure that's infringing on yap's copyright,

but I will say it's pretty easy if you can just take measurements of your doggle where the little velcro straps are. Chevy is HUGE around his tummy and has a tiny little lemon head!

Dinosaurs!

Hi there!

I'm trying something new and making felt plushies. It's different than crocheting that's fasho.

Here's a little preview of one of my new guys- who I have great plans for.

Can you guess what this guy is?

Lotta Jansdotter Checkbook Cover

I've gotten re-acquainted with my sewing machine lately, and took the long holiday weekend to make a few things, including this checkbook cover!! It was my first time making bias tape- and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

 

Overexposed- sorry!

I got the pattern from Lotta Jansdotter's book: Simple Sewing

which has some really easy and great patterns for things around the home.

Next project I want to try from the book is the oven mitts. We burnt through ours. Womp!

Blue Vintage Suitcase

Just bought this little gem to display at the wedding and perhaps to put cards or notes in.
