crafts

I decided to post some of the crafts I have made in 2011 that I haven't posted yet.

This year we had 4 nieces born.  Each of my brothers had a baby girl and so did Bret's sister.  I made them each a pillowcase dress with matching shoes and hairbows.

 3 of those baby girls had an older brother, so I made them each a reversible hat similar to this.

One of these baby girls had two older sisters, so I made them a felt faces kit.  Lots of different hair, mouths, eyes and accessories.  I also made one for my kids.

I found this cute table for a good price and painted it nice and perty :)

Brandon and Carson's clothes are getting too big to be able to fit in one dresser, so I finally got another one.  Brandon wanted a zebra dresser, so this is my attempt.  (The bottom drawer is in the garage.  The metal handle needs to be filed so it doesn't cut somebody and I haven't done that, yet.)

Found this fun bracelet tutorial online and have made several for myself and taught my sister-in-laws and a couple friends to make them.

Also found this tutorial online for a barnstar made from cardboard boxes.

 Here are a few more things I made for Christmas:

Peek-a-boo bags for Eric and Jenna and a niece and nephew

 Marble mazes for Carson and Brandon

 Carson has been begging for a hat like Eric and Jenna's and I finally enlarged the pattern and made him one for Christmas.

 Wallets made from duct tape for Carson and Brandon

 I also made a snowman kit for my brother and his family similar to here some giant snowflakes and a book tree  (only I used a magazine, instead) and about 30 of these star ornaments that the 3 wise men (bishopric) of our ward handed out to the Primary children after our ward Christmas party.  They are super and cute and easy, but making that many takes FOREVER.

 And so far in 2012 I have made these two cute diaper bassinets.  And started on a quilt for Jenna's big girl bed.  My goal is to finish by her birthday in February.
