Valentines Crafts

Well, Valentines is coming up soon and I realized I have no decorations. Actually, I really dont have many decorations for holidays and seasons, except fall and Christmas. I wanted something, but I dislike spending money and with the little selection the basin has, and what we do have is pricy, I decided to make a few. 
2*4  sign I made with my mom and friend Sherry. It was fun to see how different they each turned out, but all so cute!
 A tissue paper streamer ball that Sherry and I did. We couldnt find styrafoam balls, so we ended up buying a bath lufa (sp?) covered it in tissue paper then hot glued the roses we made out of streamers. I was going to do a grouping of three, but... it took awhile, and with a baby that needed a nap, we might just be sticking to one!

Lucky in Love sign that hangs from my sign hanger (haha) that I made out of an old bed post. I again used my silhouette to cut the pink vinyl.

And my Valentine banner out of burlap and felt. I used my silhouette to cut letters out of scrapbook paper (the same paper i used with the 2*4s) and just sewed them on the burlap. I sewed and cut the red felt for the hearts. Very easy and didnt take long at all. All of my valentines projects added up costing me about $4.. isnt that awesome!! I bought the bath lufa and tissue paper and streamers. Everything else I had!!

A new outfit for Payzlei

I saw some bibs that were so dang cute, so I decided to try and make some for Payzlei. I am still what I call a beginner seamstress, so reading the patterns are kind of hard for me- so a few things turned out a little different, but way cute!
Payzlei is always willing to pose in her new clothes! 


This is the headband I made to match.




I think they turned out cute. I might even try making another pair!
