Diaper pouches

These little diaper pouches are the best thing in the world.  This is one of my go-to baby shower gifts.  It will hold about 6 newborn diapers and 3 size 4 diapers along with a portable wipes case.  It's so handy - all you have to do is grab it and go!

Baby blankets

I learned how to make these really simple blankets by watching my mom.  They are just two pieces of flannel (1 yd each) with batting in-between, tied together with yarn.  

I always get my flannel on sale at Joann's so these are a really inexpensive, cute, cozy, and a practical gift for any kid ages 0-5 - after that age, they might not think it's cool to get a blanket for their birthday.

This is a train pattern with a solid blue backing.  I just used my lap quilting frame and tied it with white yarn.

I just zigzagged around the edges to finish it off.

This is one of my favorites!  I LOVE this animal print and I think the rolled edges look better and more finished.

Cute fabric huh?

Jewelry hanger

Kinda simple but it gets the job done.

Sock Monkeys

I made each of my boys a sock monkey for Christmas - Jonny LOVES his!

Too many monkeys jumping on the bed!

I was going to just buy the pair of socks and make them from scratch using an online pattern but I found a kit in the kids crafts section of Joann's for $8 that included everything from the buttons to the fabric for the hat on their heads.  It was pretty easy but since I had never made a stuffed animal before- it took a bit longer than I had anticipated.  But it was so worth it!

Felt Roses

Go here for the tutuorial.

Black Apple Dolls

I love these!  Super easy and super cute!

I learned how to make these by going to this site.  It has a tutorial and a free pattern.  So much fun!

Book Wreath

I made this book wreath out of a book I bought for $1 at Goodwill.  Total the wreath cost me probably about $3. 

I think it turned out pretty cute!
