Pocket Wallets

I got the pattern for this wallet about a year ago.  A friend at work was so complimentary toward the one I made for myself that I volunteered to make her one.  Then she was showing it off to one of her friends who asked if she could get one.  So, I agreed to something that I haven't really done before--to make these and sell them.  I'm not sure I'll make a habit of it.  But another coworker keeps telling me about a big craft fair that she thinks I should participate in.  Something to think about at least.

Quick and Dirty Baby Quilts

I have another baby shower to go to in a couple weeks--this one is for a friend of mine who is pregnant with twin girls.  So I made twin baby quilts--they are a lot a like, but not exactly alike.  The squares are a mix of leftovers from other quilts and hand-me-down fabrics in my stash.  The other side of each quilt was made from a pair of curtain panels.  I even had a single piece of quilt batting in my stash that was perfectly sized for these.  All in, each one took about 4 hours to make, with the binding easily being the part that took the longest.

The differences?  The color of the binding and the yellow squares are different materials on the 2 quilts.  And I think the arrangement of the blocks is a little different.
Oh, and they aren't really dirty.

Copycat Caterpillar Crafting

I've been invited to a shower for my friend who is adopting a 16 month old.  What to give?  Why not copy Boss's cool and crafty gifts?  I love the way it turned out, and I had everything that I needed already in my stash.

More crafty things coming soon...  But it's bedtime now.
