Dr. Who pillows

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

If you know me well, you know I love Doctor Who specifically number 10 David Tennant. Though I know this is more 11 in the saying but I love it and decided to use my skills to make me some adorable pillows for my chairs. I love nerdy crafts. It is cuddle and cute. My son loves the Van Gogh inspired Tardis print which I got at Joann fabrics. I was just looking for blue fabric and saw this and had to have it.

It took longer to cute out the HTV for the pillow than to actually make the pillows. It feels good to sew even if it is a simple sewing job.

Monogram Pocket Tee

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I have been really wanting to make a monogram pocket tee which are all the rage now. I finally got around to it and created this tee from a shirt I had on hand as well as scrap fabric in my stash.

I cut out a pocket from this fun lined fabric. I think it was left over from a quilt project. I wanted something nautical looking because I so wanted to do a monogram anchor for the pocket. I sewed the pocket on and than using my trusty Cricut (I love this machine so much and use it for so many things), I created my anchor monogram slicing and welding things together.

I than cut it out using blue HTV (I would have liked a tad darker but used what I had on hand).

I really like how it turned out. I made a tee for my kiddo using some left over Avenger fabric I had on hand for her. I had to make sure Capt. america was on it.

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I love my cricut so much and sometimes I see an idea and I run with it. Yes it is a problem.

I cut out this cut bike using shiny HTV alone with the cute saying and heat pressed it on.

I than cut out the cute banner out of fabric and just pinned it on. I think it is so cute and looks so cute in my room.

Turkey Day is around the Corner

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I can not believe Thanksgiving is like two weeks away. It felt like it was just here and now a whole year as passed. I figure this is the last year I can make fun shirts for my oldest (youngest has a few more years).

I designed (with help from the little one) thier Thanksgiving shirts. Mr. L is well Doctor Who inspired. He was so excited when I showed it to him. My hubby laughed and said it was really cute.

Both shirts were a lot of cutting and piecing even using the Cricut and worth it because they turned out so cute!

Fabric Pumpkins

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I fully admit to having a fabric problem on top of my paper craft problem. I of course saw these pumpkins on Pinterest and well dug through my stash and found some cute fabric I had (it is the left over from my cute apron I made awhile ago).

Super easy and really doesn't require a sewing machine but it did help.

I just stitched up the side and than hand stitched, pulled it tight and stuffed them. Than I sewed up the top, and attached the stem. Love them so lucy and they look so cute on my dining room table.

Thanks for stopping by!

Monogrammed my own stuff

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I got some new thirty one things and refused to pay for the personalization on them so I did it myself.

I used felted iron on so it looks like it was stitched on. I wish the Benson was a tad straighter but oh well.

Hello Pillow

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I am loving my Cricut and finding all the things I can do it it.

I love pillows as you might have noticed and make lots (about as many as the bags I create).

I wanted to demonstrate to the Demo group I belong to, using the Brush Digital Stamps SU offers and cutting on the Cricut (or general e-cutter).

I uploaded the Hello from MDS into the Cricut software, sized it and well cut it.

The Pillow took five minutes to sew and than I ironed the hello on.

I would say this took as long to do as card so it was no major work for me.

I love the option of creating more than just paper items using SU products.

BTW I made two of them- one for the Demo Swap and One of course for me!

Lovely pillows!

Becky 12:04 PM 0 Comments

Today I made a decorated pillow using an iron on vinyl decal to share with you today.

I have to say I just love throw pillows and may have a slight problem (or very large if you are asking my hubby). I picked up some pillow shams from Pick Your Plum that came in a variety of colors and patterns. This pillow sham is a light grey/bluish and for some reason, I thought a giant camera needed to be ironed on it.

Using Cricut Design Studio, I picked my canvas as a pillow and using the Brooklyn Iron On cartridge, I sized the camera to fit on the pillow. I cut out the design and ironed it on per the iron on vinyl instructions.

I get all my vinyl from Expressions Vinyl and just iron it on with a regular iron set to the highest settings.

Though of course I couldn't stop at just one pillow so of course I made a second one which is actually a hostess gift for a 4th of July Party.

This is a pillow I did with a giant Wisconsin on it and I placed the heart close to wear our hostess has her cottage. For this pillow I used Stampin Up's Brush Art digital set Fifty Nifty set. I just saved a jpeg from the My Digital Studio and imported into the Design Studio. Sized as needed and than cut it out.

Vinyl Decal Drawstring Backpacks

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

Oh my you don't know HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE BAGS I MADE THE KIDS!!

I saw this idea of course on Pinterest and was inspired. I have made these little backpacks before but these I just adore for so many reasons.

1. It is fabric I love from my scrap pile. I had this for so long and finally found a project for it.

2. Those decals are from the SU Sea Street Stamp set which is not digital but I made them digital.

I stamped, scanned, tweaked the sizing, and than stuck it into the Cricut program to cut.

I love the octopus so much and the kids have gotten so many compliments on them.

These bags are thier in the car bags to store items the want to take traveling and not lose.

I need to make me a chevron bag and decal that octopus on for me. I love him!!!

Canvas Bag

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I had this left over fabric and saw this cute inspiration bag on pinterest. I love how the directions said 3-5 hours to make. The only thing I did different from that was make it slightly smaller and knocked this out in about 45 minutes. It is the summer library bag for the kids.

Teacher Gift Wreaths

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I decided to show case the wreaths I did for Mr. L's Preschool Teachers. I love how they turned out and I might make myself one with the burlap and blue chevron. I also had these cute birdie signs I had picked up after Easter and cut out letters for the teachers so they can display their names in the rooms next year.

I just adore these teachers and they are just great ladies!

Captain America Shield Headpiece

Becky 4:30 PM 0 Comments

We saw these all over the Comic Convention on Sunday and I told Miss O that I could make her one. So today I dug through my stash and found red, white and blue felt. It came together pretty quick. The only hiccup- I found something that I need to cut with the deep cut blade on my Cricut. I had to hand cut the circles out.

4th Bag

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I love the 4th of July because of just how down home it is. I love the red, white and blue colors. I love decorating for it starting June 1 and of course I love looking the part on the 4th.

I saw this really cute bag on JoAnn's and decided to make it. Well to be honest with you the instructions were horrible. There was missing information so I winged it and well I really like how it turned out. The last minute addition was adding the monogram B on the front which I just cut out with my cricut.
