diy crib sheets

I've dragged out the sewing machine and I'm on a roll!! .... well, on a roll of finishing up projects I started a year ago... or possibly longer then that...

Next on my list to finish up was a crib sheet.
I was so happy to find this tutorial about making your own crib sheets. It was a serious "duh" moment. Crib sheets are not cheap and the more the merrier!! A huge advantage to making your own is the selection of material... the possibilities are endless!

I got this fabric on huge discount at Goodwill years ago and decided to get some use out of it.
Huxley seems to enjoy it and I'm thinking it matches more his personality then the one that was on there before. You know, the one covered in pink flowers :)

laini's quilt

My oldest sister had her second baby girl back in February of last year. Since then she's gone from this...
 To this...
Gah! She's adorable!! Any who... When she was pregnant with this little girl I made her a quilt trying to stick with the color scheme of her nursery. I had it all finished and then realized that with the gray binding it looked... not so good.

A YEAR later... I finished it with purple binding :) It seriously took me a half an hour once I just sat down to do it. I think it looks much better though!
I could only get so many pictures until children and animals wanted in on the action.

art supply caddy

I've been organizing and planning for the homeschooling next year... and having way too much fun I might add. I've seen several pictures on Pinterest of art supply caddy's, the most recent one here. That one is amazing!! But I'm more of a ten minute crafter :) I like to stick with glue! This is what I came up with.
The little buckets came from Target... love that dollar section! The plate was also a dollar, so total cost $5.00. It was horribly easy... glue the buckets onto the plate and let dry...
I love it and the girls do too. They get excited every time they see me getting it for them.
