Secret Sister Gift

I have a secret sister in MOPS so, this last week I stamped some tiles with some Stayzon ink to make coasters and made a box with my new cricut. The paper is from K and company, isn't it cute?! MOPS got snowed out last week, of course, so I will have to wait until later in the month to give it to her.

Stampin in the morning

My friend 'N' from knitting group is cleaning out her craft stuff. (I should take my cues from her!) She had posted on Ravelry that she had some rubber stamps she was giving away and I said I would LOVE them! Boy, was I surprised when I walked into Panera's last night to TWO giant bags full of stamps. I am in crafter's heaven!

I started sorting through them last night into categories and discovered lots of great little boy stamps. Dump trucks, cars, tools and all kids of various construction things.

So, this is what me and little boy have been up to this morning.

Amy Butler weekender bag

A new post. Whaaat???
Pattern: Amy Butler weekender bag.
Fabric: Amy Butler Belle line in Gothic Rose: burgandy. Lining some random JoAnn fabric.




This is a challenging pattern and mine is far from perfect but, I am happy with how it turned out. The only modification I made was a little pocket for my keys in the lining.

Finally!

Cabinet re-do

I decided to clean out my cabinets today. It turned out to be a good day for it. Unfortunately my son is sick so he just was laying around watching cartoons and this left me with some time on my hands.

The reason I wanted to rearrange was to clear off my counters a little so here they are:


I even got a bonus of reclaiming three containers and one basket!

We've got ears

It is amazing what can be done with a little glitter and glue. I got inspiration from a fellow crafter on the Disboards. These look nearly identical to the Christmas ornaments you can buy at Walt Disney World. They still need their strings attached to be finished.
Each ornament has the year on the back, and will be gifted to some fellow Disney nuts. They are made with smooth styrafoam balls, gold craft paint, and glitter. Lots of glitter.

I will be having some wooly content soon.
JoAnn's was having a sale on their ready to decorate letters this week. I have been wanting to make some sort of initial or name for my little guy's room since before he was born. Finally done!
This is one of the paper maché ones painted with craft paints and a sharpy paint pen. The vehicles were purchased as is and chosen by a certain 2 year old.
