Spreading the Wacky Robot Love

Check out how fun this is! I found this great pattern Create It! Wacky Creatures (McCall's M5826) to make with my girls. The cool thing about this pattern is that it came with two body types, interchangeable ears (3), arms (6), legs (4), and faces (9). You can create ANYTHING imaginable!

So, I thought I would try it out while the kids were at school...you know, just to see how things worked. I'm going for the robot look, and this is what I came up with!

35 Ain't So Bad Afterall!

I'm a little late in announcing my Birthday....it was last Thursday...the big 35!  I have never been big on announcing this, mostly because I am not a fan of the whole surprise party-whispering-"I-know-what-you're-getting thing".  I had to ask my Honey how old I was, because I thought I was turning older than I was. Whew...I'm glad I asked!

My kids gave me a a gorgeous bouquet of Green Roses (I helped by giving them a little hint). Aren't they so pretty with just a touch of green on the ends?

Pearls & Lace Baby Booties

Here is my last set of booties! This is a little bit different style from the others, in that the toe overlaps the back/ankle piece (2 pieces vs. 1 piece)...You can see a little bit of the overlap in the second picture. They also have scalloped tops, that makes them a little more dainty.



I made a pearl flower with some tiny beads and added these cute Chocolate Brown flowers with a rhinestone center! For the bows I used some Wrights Flexi-hem Tape (Flame). I am so in love with the flexi-tapes...they come in a ton of great colors and are so easy to work with! I plan on using these in some of my future projects.



I really had fun creating each set of booties and using different embroidery stitches and embellishments on them. I've got my "fix" and I think I am about Boo-tied out (for now). There are SOOO many other projects I'm dying to get my hands on and try out...dolls, softies, and a little baking!

Butterfly Kisses Baby Booties

I finished the smallest of the booties. These are the 6 week-3 month old size and they measure only 3 1/3" long! I tried so hard to get the glitter on the felt to sparkle in the picture, but it didn't turn out quite as well as I had hoped. But believe me when the sun hits it, it has a beautiful turquoise and fuchsia sparkle....almost like little butterfly kisses!

Do you like the butterflies?  I tried several different types of fabrics and ideas, and finally came up with these...they are exactly what I wanted. A little bit of purple and fuchsia tulle, some pearly flower stamens all wrapped in turquoise floss.
