Holiday Dress

This year's holiday dress! I cheated a little and used a pattern, but I love the end result. :)

Hello Kitty Greeting Cards!!

I'll never be too old for Hello Kitty :)

Señor Moustachio

Presenting a new cuddly creation...

Señor Moustachio

He was inspired by a trip to the Dali Museum. I made him out of craft fur, and I added eyes and a felt moustache.

The resemblance is uncanny!

Fancy Party Dress

This is my first attempt at designing my own dress. It was a long process but I had tons of fun! I used The Party Dress by Simon Henry as a reference to make my pattern. It was super helpful!

 

The top took the most time. A lot of adjustments were needed to make it fit perfectly.

The back is adorable! It was a bit tedious but much easier than adding a zipper :)

 Adding the skirt! It looked pretty rough at this point...I wasn't sure it was ever going to be a dress. Adding tulle under the skirt was one of the most obnoxious things I've ever done.

The finished product! It fits my dress form, let's see if it fits me...

Yay! It's not perfect, but it fits! :) Currently planning my next design...

Terry Cloth Bib

My first successful attempt at making a bib! I found the idea for the terry cloth backing and tutorial at prudent baby. I just used a small amount of fabric and a terry cloth hand towel. And of course an adorable iron on puppy :)

With the left over fabric, I made a super cute terry cloth backed burp cloth. Who knew something meant for cleaning up baby messes could be so cute?

Taggy Cuddle Blanket - Girl Edition :D

This is the same Taggy Cuddle Blanket I've made before, but this one I made for a baby girl is sooo cute, I had to share! :)

Halloween Time!

Halloween is my favorite holiday! I'm already making cute and creepy halloween crafts. They're just so fun :)

Potion bottles! So spooky and easy to make. I got the glass bottles for a dollar each, glued something creepy to each one, and added colored water. Voila! Do not drink these sinister brews ;)

Thank you marthastewart.com for this creepy Halloween craft idea, Shrunken Head Cider! If you love carving pumpkins, then you'll have a blast with this.

Peel and cut one apple in half to make two faces. Carve in whatever spooky face you'd like, bake until shruken and brown, and add cloves for the eye balls.

I love this because it's fun, easy, and works for any holiday. Just find some festive holiday paper, cut out the letters, and string them up with ribbon. 

Happy Halloween everyone! Please share your creative, spooky craft ideas :)
