Sewing Projects and Other Crafts :)

Some things I have done/things I want to do:

Hair Bows
I want to make millions of hair bows and flowers! So far I have only made one...lol:

Not the best pics but they show the flower well

This one's cute though!

Custom Wedding Frames
I love making these for weddings :) That are just so cute and fun! I keep forgetting to take pictures of them before I give them away though... At least I have a couple:

They are mostly see-through

Depending on the light they can throw shadow echos of the saying

It's just fun and personal!

Wall Sayings
These are fun too! Here are some pics of things I've done:

 Bathroom saying

I'm farther than in the pic now, it just needs to be put on wood :)
I love how the colors are layered on top of each other.

Hallowen Costumes
This last year for halloween our little family were each characters from Phantom of the Opera. Wayne was the Phantom, I was Christine, and Claira was the symbol playing monkey. Wayne's costume is done (I made him an awesome cape/cloak and he made his mask, the rest is a tux and other stuff he already has) and it looks awesome! He even does his face under the mask to look burned :) My costume is somewhat done...I've got most of the dress done and still need to make my robe (I'm making my own version of the dress she wears when she goes to the Phantom's hideout. I really want to finish it with all the detail but did not have it done for halloween since I was not feeling well. At least I had enough done that I could still wear it, it's just not as fancy. Claira's monkey body was bought so that part is done. Now I just need to make her hat, vest, and symbols. I was going to make the monkey body too but knew I wouldn't have time with school, so Wayne found a cute monkey at Target instead. I'm excited for when we have the finished projects! ...Although I don't know if we will want to be Phantom again this year...but since we moved we could totally repeat and get away with it! Here's a pic:

Baby Blanket(s)
I have been crocheting this baby blanket for Claira for months (or a year even) and have yet to finish it. I is about 3/4 done just needing a few more squares, attaching all of the squares together, and doing the edging. The problem is that I often only work on it while at doctors offices and other places requiring a wait. I just need to finish it.

And then there are all those other baby blankets I have fabric for but have yet to make them. I think the reason I haven't felt the need to make them is because I received so many baby blankets that there is no rush or need to add more to the collection. So maybe I'll make these bigger blankets more for a toddler or small child so that she can have some then. Except for her quilt...and bumper and mobile toys...I probably should make those for her eventually since she's moved into her crib so that she can have her own special made crib bedding (plus extras are always good while one is washing). But there's not a huge rush for that right away either because her cousin Emma gave Claira her old crib bedding set :)

Quilt
I already mentioned Claira's quilt, but I also want to make an Americana quilt for Wayne. I've got a lot of great fabric for it and have an idea of what I want it to look like. I want it to have those star/flower designs made from triangles as the main idea among others. I've never quilted before though, so hopefully I pick this up as well as I have sewing. Oh and the best part of this quilt will be that it will have a wool blanket inside of it. This is Wayne's most important request because he loves how it makes the quilt so warm while staying thin. I'm very excited for this project :) Anyone want to teach me to quilt?

Boy Scout Blankets
I'm noticing I have a lot of blanket projects, lol. But there are two scout blankets that I want to make. One is a square of fleece that has the boy scout logo on it. I'm not quite sure what I will do with this yet... The other is a "patch" blanket made from old patches from camps and Wayne's awards on top of denim or something like that. I've considered putting these two into one blanket but can't decide.

Elegant Dress

I have left over material from making my bridesmaid's dresses and just love it! I really want to make a beautiful dress out of it. Maybe one day I will get on that...

AND A MILLION MORE... But that's good for now :)
