Color Block Curtains

I have kind of been on a sewing kick for the last little bit, and I have been loving it!
Since the Spring months have started the sun is naturally rising a little earlier each day.
Both of my boys are early risers anyways, but I wanted to make curtains for my toddlers' room so I could get him to sleep as long as possible...so until around 6:30-7...
This project was a lot of trial and error, I was kind of making it up as I go.

Quiet Book: Shape Matching

I was looking through my pictures the other day, and I realized I never finished posting my quiet book pages!
This shape matching page was by far the easiest one to whip up, and I love the results so far.
My almost 2 year old knows the names of all of the shapes on this page!
Each time he picks up a shape I tell him the name and color.

Satin Flower Headband

I am back with another tutorial!
If you remember, my last post was a tutorial for a skirt I made for my brand new baby niece.
This flower is the second gift I took over when I got to meet her for the first time.
I had so much fun trying something new!
I had seen a flower tutorial on Pinterest which used satin ribbon to make a flower, and I kind of followed that but kind of made it my own, I'll show you how it all came together.

Baby Skirt Tutorial

If you follow my blog through any of my social media options you have already heard my good news, but for those of you who don't, this past week my younger brother and his wife welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world!!
On my husband's side of the family we have 5 nieces already, and they are all a little older now, and I wasn't really crafting too much when they were all born. However, on my side of the family this was the first girl, and I wanted to make her something!
She decided to make her appearance 2 weeks early, so I had to get busy :)
I made this adorable polka dot skirt and a matching flower headband (I will post a picture and tutorial for that next, so stay tuned).
