Glove Animals

I was at the dollar store the other day when I found these really soft chenille-like gloves. I immediately thought of this idea I had seen several months ago.




I made a puppy for Rylee--it turned out pretty funny looking, but she loves the thing! Drags it around everywhere with her. Kids are so easy to please! The "collar" is a "Girl Power" bracelet Jason brought home from a lady he works with.

Pin Cushion

One thing I love about crafting is re-purposing things you have lying around your house. So when I saw this super easy pincushion made out of a tuna can, I had to make one.

It reminds me of a cupcake and the pins are the sprinkles. And nothing is permanent, so I can switch out the fabric when I get bored!

Leftovers Library Bag

I have been working on some projects for my niece-to-be (posts to follow soon) and found I had several pieces of fabric leftover--too big to throw away, but not really big enough to make anything with on their own. So the quilter in me pieced them together to make this funky library book bag. Not too bad considering it was my 2nd tote ever-- the first one I made in Jr High Home Ec. class, so it had been awhile.
