post thanks for your understanding monday july 29 2013 first day of school foam numbers for the first day of school i wanted to take pictures with the kids holding something to show what grade they were in i looked for something cute on pinterest but all i could find were printouts that i thought were boxy and covered up the kid s whole body when they held them up i wanted something bright that was big enough to see and that wasn t too distracting i decided to use big pieces 12 x 18 inches of craft foam from hobby lobby i let the kids each choose their favorite color i looked at fonts on my computer and chose a different one for each kid then i just drew the number on the foam with a pencil eye balling it if you aren t as confident sketching it on you could always print out a number in a large font i didn t want to take that long and i wanted the numbers to be pretty big so i just winged it after drawing them on i just cut them out making sure to keep the superscript contraction intact with the number and done the kids were excited to take their first day of school pictures posted by connie at 9 36 am 12 comments thursday november 10 2011 handmade christmas ornament swap stef over at it s all in my head is hosting a handmade ornament swap i am definitely going to do this next year better hurry there are only a few spots left join here posted by connie at 3 09 pm 9 comments sunday october 30 2011 sally from nightmare before christmas i wish i would have had the foresight to have taken pictures of this project along the way but i m just lucky to have finished it before our church trunk or treat on saturday my daughter wanted to be sally stitches so i went straight to work on this elaborate costume it took me longer than i thought it would first i made a dress out of muslin by tracing the shape of one of my daughter s existing dresses i looked at plenty of pictures of sally online to see just what her dress looked like i had most of the fabric on hand but i ended up buying some corduroy for half off at joann s to fill in the gaps and add some texture i drew the shapes directly onto the muslin and cut pieces to fit out of the different fabrics i used some heat and bond to attach the different pieces to the muslin dress then i zig zagged around each different piece to secure it next i took some black yarn and a needle and stitched marks around each of the pieces this took me a while i cut the sleeves and painted black lines on the yellow one with fabric paint i attached the sleeves to the dress last i made the wig with two skeins of thick rust colored yarn i could have just sprayed her hair red but i really thought that the yarn wig would look cool i cut the two skeins into long strips then carefully sewed them right in the middle onto a leftover piece of thick interface then i sewed a piece of elastic to go around her head and attached the interfacing to it in the front and the back i added some elastic to the sides as well so it wouldn t slide from side to side if you are interested in seeing how i did it i can take some pictures last i made the legs and arms i dyed two pairs of white tights to a light blue color i then cut some cardstock into strips and fed them into the legs so i could paint the stitches on i just used puff paint and they dried really quickly then i flipped them over and did the other side for the arms i cut the legs off the tights and cut holes for her fingers to go through we used nyx baby blue jumbo eye pencil and cool blue eye shadow for her face and neck i put some pink eye shadow on her eyes and used an nyx white jumbo eye pencil for under her eyes i used a black eyeliner for the stitches we finished her off with mascara and pink lips posted by connie at 11 10 pm 29 comments labels for kids halloween sewing wednesday october 5 2011 yarn wreath i love wreaths i have been so into yarn wreaths especially lately they are super easy to make and easy to customize i loved the color combination on this one especially the gray and mustard perfect for fall the wreath is really easy to make although it can get tedious this is a great project to do in front of the tv i grabbed one of those raffia type wreaths in plastic and kept the plastic on i ended up rolling my yarn skeins into balls first to make it easier to wrap the yarn around the wreath i made sure there was enough yarn covering the area i wanted to do then pulled it tight and knotted it well then i just snipped the ends you can see the back here when i was done wrapping the yarn i made a variety of flowers out of wool felt not craft felt and hot glued them right on the wreath easy posted by connie at 10 02 pm 11 comments labels crafts wreaths monday september 12 2011 another color swap robyn is doing another color charm swap but this time in lovely fall colors i made my zig zag quilt top with squares from her last color swap there are lots of things you can do with your squares click here to check out her post and sign up she still has a few spots left posted by connie at 3 31 pm 3 comments monday august 15 2011 a new quilt school is back in session for us here in arizona and i have been so ready we have had a fun summer i haven t sat at my sewing machine once since it started it was nice to have a break i decided to do something with a stack of rainbow squares that i had from a friend s swap i had 200 different squares but instead of them being i spy prints they were just a nice spectrum of color i didn t know what to do with them and i didn t want to do another patchwork so i decided to try crazy mom quilt s zig zag quilt i loved her tutorial and found it super easy to follow plus it yielded such great results and this would make a great i spy quilt for i spy fabrics with smaller objects on them i wanted to map out the colors in kind of a mosaic look i didn t think i liked it at first but i think i really do now now to just add sashing and borders and send it off to be quilted i will have to post the finished quilt when i get it back by the way would anyone be interested in participating in a swap for colored fabrics like these posted by connie at 11 57 am 10 comments
