Crafty as I Wanna Be

I'm a wannabe. I wanna be crafty and creative and make things and stuff, but everytime I try, it feels like I'm making a fruit loop necklace instead. I like to lurk Sewing and Crafting Blogs, and on one occasion I came across this Chick, who I have something in common with from Australia. She has a a shop called 62 Cherry and makes great bags. She blogged about making some singlets and included some pictures and they were SO cute but I didn't know what a singlet was (well my brother used to wear a singlet when he wrestled, but I didn't think that was what they were) so I emailed her and asked her about them. (I hope you're working on these for your shop!) In the end we did a swap and this is what I got from her for Peach.






Isn't it the cutest thing you ever saw! Thank you so much Justine & Molly! She hasn't had it out of her hand or off her body, until I took it away today to wash, because she's already spilled chocolate milk on it. I've got yours ready to go, but have had a tough time finding a Martha Stewart Kids edition. I'm going tomorrow to check at a real bookstore, so hopefully I'll be sending it out on Monday.



Thru Justine I found some really cool blogs like HELLOmynameisHeather , she has some really cute things that she sews and I guess her husband is a photographer and the pictures are colorful and beautiful!


This is a shirt she made for her daughter.


She also has a free pattern for some adorable bootie's.
(Alas, I have no more babies.)







And look at this cute colorful little ball. I should be able to do that right? Have ya'll seen that pillow I made for Peaches room that was supposed to be a neckroll pillow? Looks more like a sausage.


Anyway I'm inspired...





And then I found this little shop (again credit goes to Justine) of prints and postcards and dolls. I'm thinking about getting a couple of these for P's room.












Anyway, I could go on for days....


So today when we went to Walmart I bought some material and I'm going to make some beanbags to throw at a target board for the fourth of July.



I can't mess up a bean bag, right?
Well, other than the fact that I forgot to buy beans to put in the bags.
