Leah's Quilt

I love handmade quilts! I have received a number of quilts from my family growing up, and they have meant so much to me. When I was pregnant with Noah, I received about six handmade quilts and they have been the best blankets for my kids. There is one blanket in particular that is a favorite to Noah and I am sure that he will have memories of this blanket as he grows older, as I am sure that it is not going anywhere any time soon!

Leah never received any quilts specifically for her, so I took it upon myself to make one. My sister-in-law received a beautiful quilt for her little boy and I fell in love with its design as soon as I saw it. Of course, I changed the colors and made a very girly version for my sweet little Leah. It was a very simple quilt to make, but it did take a lot of work to create it. I just finished hand stitching the binding yesterday, so I thought that I would share it with you.

I also made the bumper for Leah's crib. I knew exactly what I wanted, but I couldn't find it anywhere. After looking high and low for the fabric, I finally found it on eBay {go figure! You really can find anything on eBay!}. I just need to finish the curtains and her room will be complete. Here's her quilt and portion of her bumper {not the best picture, sorry}.

Close up of the quilt. I think she likes it too.

Fall Crafts

I wanted to share the crafts that I made at my class this week. I don't have any decorations for our house for the Fall season, so I made two things at this class.

My Handbag Creation

Check out this handbag that I made today. I came up with the pattern on my own, so it took me a little while to get it the way that I wanted it. I am proud of myself for making this completely from scratch. Here are some pictures:


The inside has one pocket and a removable bottom insert to hold the bottom flat.

Digital Scrapbooking

Digital Scrapbooking is my new hobby! I absolutely LOVE it and I am having so much fun with it! I have always loved scrapbooking with paper, and I still do, but there are things that I can do with Photoshop that would take me forever to do the "old fashioned" way! This way there is no mess and no little hands (aka Noah) picking up my stuff and throwing it everywhere! Here are some of the pages that I have created over the past few weeks:

Embroidery Pillow

I made this embroidery for my mom for her birthday. She wanted me to make it into a pillow and I just finished it today. Here is the final product:
