Snap Wrap Dress

My friend and I got together to sew some dresses for our little girls.  I found this tutorial and we decieded to give it a try.   I love the way M's turned out. I didn't get any good pictures because someone was being grouchy... but you can kinda get the idea.

And whats a new dress without a cute matching bow??
oh and the headband... I painted it white... she didn't have a white one :)

Picture Frame Key Holder

I have been wanting to make something to hang our keys on for awhile now.  I hate placing them down somewhere and not being able to remember where I put them or have them get buried under a pile of mail.  So I decided to do something about it.  I got this picture frame from Micheal's for $1 and then headed over to Home Depot to buy some hooks.  I spent less than $3 on this project.  And I love how it turned out.  It is still missing something, and in time I will put some sort of embellishment on it, but I am not sure what yet... any ideas?

 First I painted the frame black, because that is what all of our other picture frames in our house are.

 Next I added some hooks on the bottom, (I ended up using a nail to make the holes and then screwed the hooks in)

Then I traced the little square that was inside the frame and cut out a cute picture of my little girl

 Then I used the hole that was already on the  back of the frame and hung it on the wall with a nail.  I did end up using some velco dots on the back bottom corners to keep it from moving side to side when the weight of the keys is uneven. 

Baby Booties

My friend and I were talking one day about cute baby shoes and decided to get online and see if we could find a tutorial on how to make them.  We came across this one and decided to go ahead and try it.  They turned out pretty cute, but I definitely need to work on my sewing skills.  They are a little hard to put together, but they were fun.  I have since made a couple of other pairs trying to adjust the pattern a little bit.  I still however, like the first pair I made the best.  I did find that the pattern runs a little small, but they turned out really cute.  There are other tutorials out there for cute shoe ideas and I hope to try more of them in the future!  We worked together on both of these, but the zebra print ones are mine, and the brown and teal ones are my friends.
