Therese's Crafty Cabana

Spring is filled with so many cute and pretty things such as bunnies and beautiful flowers, but it's also the time for babies! I just welcomed my baby niece, Sophia into the family last week, and I had so much fun making baby gifts for her. So, on to the pictures then...     As you can see, the theme of her room is purple, (I probably went a tad overboard with the purple, but it's such a pretty color! Besides I mixed it up a bit by adding a yellow duck...could have made it purple...just didn't think of it :)   These cute elephants on the card are from Miss Kate's Cuttables , she has simply adorable SVGs.    Below you can see the nursery all decked out...isn't this room adorable?!? I made the mobile and the crib rail guard.     This is an owl hat I crocheted from Repeat Crafter Me .     So this ducking is having a little too much fun...Peek a Boo!     And t...

Ok, I couldn't resist and had to use stitching on this simple yet fun Thank You card...which I made for my co-worker's mom (who I got the sewing machine from). Nothing too complex here, I used the puntada overlock (ss) and the zig-zag stitch.   I used Prettiful Designs FauxBois paper for the background and then some light sage cardstock with buttons and Trendy Twine  (orangesicle and lemon tart). For the sentiment I used a stamp and two circles (the bottom one slightly larger) with a pop-dot in between them. I also added some Stickles Star Dust glitter to the flowers on the green cardstock. Stay tuned for more stitched projects, so many fun things to do with a sewing machine :)

I am so excited about my newest addition to my craft room! My co-worker's mom got a new sewing machine and handed me down this awesome machine!  I have never had a sewing machine bigger than the single stitch craft size machines, so the fact that this one has stitching options is so much fun.  I have big plans and all sorts of projects I want to tackle, but first I had to get comfortable with my stitches and settings. I couldn't wait to make something with it, so I made this cell phone case for my co-worker as a thank you. Ok, so it's not really professional, but I had so much fun making it, I made the cute pocket at the front to hold cards and the strap has a snap with a button for decoration.
