Baby headbands…

Make it Monday, National Craft Month., topstitch / tagged , / / by

Happy Monday. Happy spring. 

I had to make a paper flower on the first day of spring. I didn’t finish it, but I plan on making a sprint bouquet in the next few days. This flower is about 6 inches big. The bouquet is going to be huge! 


Baby Itzel is one month old today. Her mom sent me this picture. She used papers flowers I made firm her baby shower for the number 1.


And here are some headbands I made for Itzel.

For this one I used the same technique I use to make paper flower centers. 


These felt bows are super easy to make.

I make them with paper too. Felt or paper, they can be used for so many things.


I also made some with some paper flowers.


Now I want to make some for myself lol.

Between her mom, granny, her tia and myself. We were in her nerves lol.


She is so precious.
Have a great week.

Fabric covered coasters…

National Craft Month., topstitch / tagged , / / by

Happy Sunday <3 this post is kinda late because I had a pretty busy day. 

This pretty girl came over for some pictures. Meet Itzel Avery.


One more <3


Isn’t she the cutest 3 week old you’ve ever seen? 

I made a pretty easy craft today. They’ve actually been easy.

I bought these coasters at Daiso. I love coasters. I have several sets. But when I saw these, I immediately thought they would be awesome covered in fabric.


They are the size of maybe 3-4 credit cards put together.

I pulled some fabric scraps to test them once I was done covering them.

Work in progress. I put  Mod Podge on the coaster and then stuck it on the fabric.


Then just cut around it.


Made a set of 4.


I’ll have to use these a few times to see how they hold up. It’s card board and once wet, they might get ugly. 
Anybody want to test one for me? 

One more of Itzel.


Have a good evening. 

Viva Las Crafties…

National Craft Month., topstitch / tagged , / / by

Listening to Frank Sinatra always makes for a good day. It’s almost like he makes everything right in the world. 

Okay onto Viva Las Crafties because that’s who this post is supposed to be about. I don’t know how or when I came across her in Instagram. I’m so glad I did because her embroidery art is so cute and fun. 

Embroidery is one of those things that I have tried several times. But I just can’t seem to be any good at it. It’s such an art form. So I will stick to what I know and let people like Viva Las Crafties continue to create awesome pieces like this one. 


I love it so much and it may sound kind of silly, but several times I’ve taken it to work. Hung it in my work space only to take it down. Take it home, to hand in my space there. I should get another one, but I’m waiting to discover a different piece to fall in love with. 

How cute is this business card!!! I will definitely be sharing it with others.


She sent me a thank you. When I should. E thanking her. She was so sweet and sent extra goodies.

Baby shower decorations. 

National Craft Month. / tagged / / by

What a beautiful day to celebrate my coworker mommy to be Angela.  I’ve been working on these baby shower decorations for a few weeks and seeing it all come together. Made my heart super happy. 
Her theme was elephants, with gray and lavender.  I did start out with lavender but later incorporated other shades of purple. I’m very happy with the way everything looked once put together.
I made rosettes for the center pieces. 



My coworker Erika made chocolate pops.


Here is the table.



My gift to the mommy.


The mommy to be.



Have a good evening <3

Cupcake wrappers…

National Craft Month. / tagged / / by

Usually I don’t mind Monday’s, but geez is this time change kicking my butt. I don’t know about you, but I was tired and sleepy all day. So I wanted an easy craft today and I decided to make some cupcake wrappers.


I’ve used these before and I love how they look so classy. Especially in black.

White looks so pretty too.



Have a great week.

Skull sponge…

Happy Sunday!
I love Crafty Chica and I love Sizzix. 

So when I heard Cathy designed a line for Sizzix I was super excited. I actually got to try one of the dies on the Crafty Chica art cruise last year. Before it was released. 

I love this die for some many reasons. 

1 being, you can use it with paper, fabric and even sponges. I’m sure you can use it for so much more stuff that I haven’t tried. 


Look how beat up it is, because I’ve used it so much.


Sponges.




Hope you had a great weekend <3

Paper flowers…

National Craft Month. / tagged , , , , , / / by

I’m feeling so tired and I wanted to take the day off from crafting. But I promised myself I’d make something daily this month and I refuse to not keep a promise to myself. 

I wanted to make something easy and so I started pulling fabric for key fobs when I realized I have no hardware for them. I quickly put the iron down, and figure out something else to make. 

I was flipping the pages of this book to get some inspiration. Nothing seemed to work. I just wanted to be lazy lol


Then I saw half a tutorial on Instagram.

I quickly plugged in my glue and pulled paper. Maybe I could figure out how to make the flower center from just the tail end of the tute.


So I have it a try…


It looks okay! Right? 

Then I made another 


These are supposed to be for flower centers. But I’m thinking of making some sort of center piece with them. 

It’s a beautiful day out and the nieces want to hang out. I’ll be back tomorrow with more goodies.


Happy day <3
