Pot Holder and Toddler Hat






Ahhh, another relaxing Sunday and I am FINALLY getting to post my 2 new creations! I know they aren't hair accessories, but those will come some other day this week...I made more! Anyway, we have a pretty simple "pot holder" in a light bluish color. It is plain, yes, but I didn't want to ruin any of my other fabric just in case I screwed it up missed a stitch or two! It is made with a fat quarter and a wash cloth. Pretty simple, washable and definately usable!! It was so easy to make I cannot wait to make more! I was so excited that THAT project turned out I went ahead and started another, a fluted toddler hat. Now this one had me on my machine cursing for over an hour! After I finally got it, I went back and REREAD the directions just to realize I should have taken a nap before continuing on! Yes, I misread the directions and did the project wrong, but it came out soooo cute!! I have batman fabric to make another for my son but need to enlarge the pattern just a little so it will fit on his 5 1/2yr old head! Next project...it's a surprise! Who knows, it could be a blanket, pillow, hair bows or something else! Stay tuned!

Bible Cover and Crayon Caddy





So I dove in and made my daughter a cover for her dilapidated bible the dog got a hold of so she could take it to camp. It turned out pretty good. A little on the big side, but that is because I measured big instead of just right like the directions said! I did the same thing for a crayon caddy I made to take along crayons the kids are always using at restaurants. That's OK, I will get these two projects perfect and add them to my inventory. Both projects are made from cotton fabric fat quarters in fun fabric. Any beginner...well obviously not ANY...can do this! I am loving my fat quarters and cannot wait for my next project! If you would like to purchase either a bible/book cover or crayon caddy, please message me and I will give you details on how to measure your book and what colors I have available for YOU!

Next up, washable pot holders!
