Some DIY Done

 Here's a crafty post of some things I've made in the last little while.  I got into some paper art classes with a woman that goes to my church and she showed me how to do some cute new things with paper. One of which, was gift tags.  I liked the idea so much, I made a bunch of them for Christmas presents and put them on the gifts I gave too.

I decided to find some ideas for some new pillows for my couches through the wonderful resource of Pinterst and made these two! 

 The yellow one up close....

 They make a cute couple, don't you think? 

 I made this cute little swaddling blanket with a rick rack edging.

 And I have been super into trying new and difficult (difficult for me) quilt patterns lately.  The baby blanket is the perfect size to really master the design, but not spend a lot of time or fabric on making a huge quilt!  This is one of the most favorite quilt designs I've ever done.  It's called Kaleidoscope and I found it on Cluck Cluck Sew.com Of course, this isn't done.  This is just the top so far. 

 I wanted to try my hand at making up a quilt pattern.  This was the result in about four hours or so on a sick day from work one afternoon last week. This one too needs the backing, binding, etc. still. 

And both my Mom, sister, and husband gave me fabric for my birthday so there can be more cute and fun things to come!! Excellent idea for a gift.  Awesome!
