by small means

With Jess and Denyse Schmidt as inspiration I spent a few hours last night making these fun Journals. The first one (the larger one) was so much fun that I had to make another. Than knowing how much my mom loves light houses I made another. One she might enjoy.

All were made by cutting and folding a piece of cardstock to the size I wanted, than sewing fabric to it, and finally sewing in the pages. It was fun and oh so easy. All I need to do now is get some Velcro or something so I can keep the flap closed.

This one was my first attempt. While fully functional it looks a little sloppy to me

I used a zig-zag stitch on this one to sew on the fabric and I like is so much more. (I like this one the best)

My mom will love this. I had to reload the bobbin while making this one and never quite got the tension quite right again. But all in all it turned out well.

I have a few more ideas of ways to cover these so if I have a moment to spare I will probably make some more.

I'm so glad that today I got to do some crafting. Finally! I've had a busy week and havn't had a chance to work on any of my projects.

I started a new project. The Robot Quilt. So far I think it's pretty cute. I'm having fun piecing it together. I'm using a variety of greens and oranges. Randomly placing them. I hope it all works in the end.

Here is another hat /booties set I finished for My Etsy Shop.

Aren't these too cute? Know anyone with a baby boy?

I made these for my Etsy shop. They are made with  Tahki Cotton Classic yarn. I figured they would be great for those cooler spring/summer nights when your out and about.

I tried them on Bronwyn and I just love how they look and fit.
