a fRogGy bLanKy

made April 2008a froggy blanky for my froggy baby!
ever since Annie was born she has reminded Dan of a frog, just the way she would and still does curl up her legs, she has them up to her sides almost under her armpits and not up by her chest like the typical 'fetal' position.

and now that she can sit up she will sometimes put her hands in between her spread out legs, she looks like a sitting frog..she is so flexible, she's almost always in the middle splits!!

I made this during Saturday mornings confrence session. it was so quick. I don't really like the yarn ties so I didn't do them, I just did little sew patterns randomly all over so the batting wouldn't bunch when washed.

A diApEr bAg

made March 2008outside..
inside.. cool pockets eh?
and a matching changing pad. the white side is a waterproof fabric that just wipes clean and it folds up really small.

I was making one of these for my friend Sam's baby shower and decided I needed one for myself, so I just made them at the same time.

Hers actually turned out really cute but I forgot to take a picture of it, it was just like mine but instead of the red and orange flowers it is 2 different colors of pink with swirls instead of flowers, soo cute. I also made her a rag quilt that I forgot to take pictures of. :(

oh it's also reversible if you decide you want the pockets on the outside for some reason you can.

an Easter dress for my Babe..

made March 2008

I made Annie this cute Easter dress, and a matching skirt for myself.

yeah we matched, but it's ok cuz she is tiny and Easter was the only time we wore them together.

the dress top and little diaper cover were made out of this embroidered linen along with my skirt, and the bottom of her dress was just regular linen. with a matching blue ribbon sewn on in front and ties in the back.

Annika's blessing dress

made in February 2008
I had a dressed pictured in my mind, and knew the only way to have it was to make it myself.
my sister Tiffany taught me how to smock

I learned how just to make her dress

it was made out of raw silk, not so easy to smock or sew!
I also made the headband to match the smocking on her dress.
I was a little particular and didn't want anyone looking at her dress too close, I just didn't want them to see all my mistakes.

I am a perfectionist!

I look back and as I see other dresses, I am pretty proud of how it turned out.

Annie's crib bedding

Made in December 2007 the quilt..

it has this really cute cream fabric on the edges,

brown and cream stripes around the middle,

the middle is strips of brown, green, pink, & cream stripes and

polka-dots

so cute, i loved how it turned out

this was my very first quilt I ever made!

the back is cream minky-dots, soo cozy!
bumper-pads are from the same fabric as the middle of the quilt on one side,

the other side is the same as the outer edge of the quilt

my sister Tiffany made that cute blanket with the polka-dots and flowers,

and my dad made the crib

I also made these cute basket liners to match!

crafty creations

when i was little, and someone asked me how i did something, i would just say "all by myself" hence the name of my crafty blog. well i have always liked making things for myself and other people, and one of my friends shares her projects on a blog and so i thought i would join in on the fun. so this will be a blog where i share my crafty creations when i get them done. i can be a lazy bum sometimes but i'm really going to try to make atleast one project a month!! so i hope you enjoy my creations!!(:
