Gifts for Little People

I have been busy making lots of little things for lots of peoples little ones!  It's fun, since mine are big now and are rather picky about what they will wear.

I made this cute outfit for a friends 1 year old daughter:

Oh my God, isn't she the cutest thing!!!

My daughters teacher was pregnant, so for the end of school gift we made her a blanket.  We made our own print using foam stickers, an old piece of glass, and screen printing ink.  We used dinosaurs because in second grade they do a dinosaur report.  We chose blue and yellow because those are our school colors.  

Finished piece:

We also made her these cool sensory blocks for her baby when the class threw a surprise baby shower.

One of my friends recently had a baby, so I made him a cool patchwork quilt he can use to change the baby on.  This is made with my childrens old jeans that I cut up and vintage cowboy fabric.

I made him some sensory cubes, too.

It's so fun to make things for little people. 

I hope everyone enjoys their little handmade gifts!

Big Boy Bedroom for Bayne

For my son's 10th birthday (in December), I decided he needed his own room.  Previously, he was sharing it with his little sister.  

These are some very old picture of the room when we first moved in.  We got rid of these beds and moved them into bunk beds shortly after.  I painted the room as gender neutral as possible, while still making it fun and playful.  They had a big sun in the center of the room, some clouds, and even a rainbow.

But my big boy is growing into a man and he needed his own man cave, so let the painting begin.

My little helper :)

My son chose red and a dark brown for his color theme.

Their dad found this perfect frame.  I wanted a chalkboard wall for his room, so I pained to wall with chalk board paint and hung the frame around it.

I got him a bunch of cool gaming posters because he wanted a gaming theme in his room.  I also made him a cool checker board quilt to match the theme and colors.

And for his birthday his dad got him his very own computer.  I clearly failed to get a picture of the wall that is brown and the computer in front of it, but it's there ;).

Quite a big transformation. 

And he loves it!

And I love him <3

Holiday Gifts for Friends and Family

In an effort to keep track of all my creations, I have to play a little catch up.  I have been terrible about posting things to my blog lately, but it's something I like to do.  It is an easy way for me to reference past things that I have made.  Lately, I have been making a lot of things for family and friends.  Here are some cool pieces I did during Christmas time:

I made this fabric art piece for my friend, Nicole, for her 40th birthday.  

She has an incredible business making the most delicious and healthy Elemental Superfood Seedbars.  If you haven't tried these bars, you MUST!

For Christmas, I made most of my friends and family little zipper pouches with pictures I printed onto printable fabric.  I really love how these came out and can't wait to make more.

And for my neighbor, Kevin, I made him an amp cover out of an old pair of his jeans.

It's hard to believe it is already August!  

I'm going to have to start holiday gifts again soon.

Time goes by so fast when you are having fun!
