Friday Night {Crafts}

It has been one heck of a week. It always seems that “short” weeks at work are so much more tedious than a regular 5 day week, although I won’t complain about having Labor Day off!!
Well since it’s Friday night I thought I’d post a couple crafts I am wrapping up tonight, some projects I never got around to posting, and include a sneak peek at some supplies I got in this week.
So first off, I {kinda} fixed the frame from last Friday. It’s still not 100% but it’s a little better. Next time I might have to get out a ruler instead of just trying to eyeball it since my eyeballs seem to have shifted to the right quite a bit.

I also made these beauties this week in preparation for Halloween!! I think it’s a tad early to get ALL the Halloween decorations out, but I few won’t hurt!

mini tissue poms for the dining room

re-purposed an old Gator frame I had made & never used

Also, I am still learning how to use the sewing machine but I have whipped a couple of these up for some baby gifts as well as for baby P, since she is a happy spitter (she’s happy about it, but mama ain’t!) Tutorial found here!

I have to look back through my photos just to remember what all I’ve done in the last couple weeks! Here are a couple {quick} projects I’ve been working on.

fabric rosettes are quite the rage, here’s my first try

Gator shirts

Princess birthday banner

Princess birthday invites (minus the ‘stache it’s just hiding the details)

Still trying to think of my next tutorial, is there anything you’d like to see? I was thinking about giving tips on how to do the Martha Stewart tissue pom poms b/c frankly her directions leave a lot of questions (as do most of her directions). Seriously, people on Etsy are selling these tissue poms for around $5!! All it takes is $0.99 worth of tissue, a piece of wire and fishing line or ribbon!!!

Oh, and here is the preview. I got these pretties in this week so that I can start making some paci leashes or binkie keepers, whatever you what to call them. Aren’t they {pretty} ribbons? I might just have to make some hair bows as well!!
