Little Hands on Thanksgiving!

I thought that this was a great way to remember how big or small their hand was on thanksgiving! Great for scrapbooking! My little girl didn't complain at all when I was tracing her hand, watched me do it. I love this, and am so glad I thought of it! :)

Baby Girl's Scrapbook! Month 3

3 months old! So tiny and so full of smiles! This is when she took her first trip to AZ to meet my side of the family. It was nice that everyone got the chance to do so! She looks so tiny!!

Baby Girl's Scrapbook! Month 2

Going through all the old pictures, I found myself wanting to cry. My baby girl is growing up so fast right before my eyes and soon she wont be the tiny little baby that wants mommy all the time :( It was fun scrapbooking though, feels good to start on it again!

Baby Girl's Scrapbook! Month 1

I finally got more scrapbooking materials, so now I am back to beginning my baby girls scrapbook. :) It was a lot of fun, I missed doing it!

1st Christmas!

So for my daughters first Christmas, I decided to make her an ornament! It didn't come out quite like I thought it would but I am still pleased with it. It is a baby dressed up in a Santa suit holding a present in its arms :) I think the hardest thing was it's face, though I'm still not close to perfect when faces are concerned, slowly but surely they are getting better! :)

First Candle Holder!

This is my first Handmade Candle Holder. Made out of polymer clay and painted with Acrylic Paint. This took me a lot longer than any other craft has taken me due to the amount of detail I put into it. It looks glass, its amazing what Translucent clay will do. Not too bad for my first one, it was sure difficult though! I think this is my new hobby, it may take longer but it is something that is versicle. It can be a candle holder, or just a vase you put stuff in or even a little bundle of flowers vase. Talk about a unigue hand-crafted gift!! :)

Building Blocks

 Using some old fabric I have, I first made a tiny square stencil so my squares would be around the same size

 I then cut out a square

 Did it 6 times

 The took the first two squares and sewed them together with a simple stitch.

 One more block and we will be ready to sew it into a block.

 It's taking shape! :)

 What it looks like on the inside

Now what it looks like on the outside. Put cotton in it and then close it up and block is all done. Do this till you have the number of blocks you want.

 I decided to make these because I realized how expensive the cloth blocks are in stores (some up to $20+). So I wanted to make it homemade and cheap and there it is.
