Crafty Endeavors!

So for Mother's Day my dad sent me a sewing machine via mail! It was a total surprise! And I had never been happier (between you and me, I cried!)! Anyhow, it has really stirred creativity in me so I've been trying some things here and there! There is so much I want to try but have been shy to try harder things! But in due time I will attempt something larger! Right now it's been fun doing these small things!


This was a headband I made for my niece - Emma- birthday!
This was the shirt to go with it!
Happy 3rd birthday Emma!

Then I started with Bibs and Burp cloths!



This one I made literally from scratch! Now I have created my own pattern for it! I've started another one already! yay!

This one I am so excited about! It looks so darling on my little girl! And best thing is- no one has the same one! (well, unless I make them one! hee hee)


Isn't she darling? 
Too cute!

Anyhow, this is def a big outlet for me! Whenever I feel upset/down or stressed- I just slip out all my sewing stuff and start being creative! Best thing yet, is that it's a really cheap hobby! I mostly shop clearance fabrics and walk out of the store with 1/4 yard of 3 or 4 fabrics for a whopping $2! And that lasts for several different endeavors! Yay for creative outlets!!!
