For the Pups!

Have you ever been stumped on what to get your furry lil pup or family pup? Well why not make them something amazing that they will either love to eat, play, or cuddle with? I personally don't have a pup but my family has 3 beagles (Sadie, Ginger, and Ruby)  and another dog named Hunter. They are so precious. But every year my sister Kels puts up their own Christmas tree down stairs and puts toys and treats underneath it. So far I got them marshmallows (their treat of choice), some of their favorite food, and some other treats but I was looking around and found some other cute ideas listed below :)

1. Dog Treats 2. Squeaky Dog Bone 3. Dog Silhouette Ornament  4. Pet ID Tag 5. Reversible Dog Bandannas 6. Dog Collar 7. Squeaky Dog Toy

Grinch-mas!

I decided to make some ornaments this year and wanted to share a few tutorials with you. This Grinch ornament is made out of fabric and several embellishments.

 

If you would like to make a stuffed ornament you will need the following supplies.

Fabric with any design
Coordinating fabric for the back
Polyfill Stuffing
Embroidery Thread
Thread
Embellishments (sequins and beads)
Needle
Scissors
Embroidery hoop (optional)
Ribbon
Pins

First pick out a design and cut out a rectangle or square (to have extra room). Once the piece is cut start embellishing the fabric using sequins, beads, embroidery, ect. I decided to use a embroidery hoop to make things a little easier (this is optional).

When finished adding embellishments cut out a piece of coordinating fabric for the back.

Place both pieces of fabric good sides facing each other, pin, and cut the desired shape including a seam allowance. Sew around the piece either using a needle and thread or sewing machine. Leave a small opening and flip the fabric inside out. Then stuff the lil guy with polyfill, sew the opening shut, and add a ribbon for hanging :)

Be Merry

Christmas is approaching way to fast this year. Its my favorite time of the year but I still have some minor decorating to do. Like putting up lights, getting some things out of boxes, and making a few more things :) I love crafting/making gifts so I was searching for some inspiration and found these cute tutorials for Christmas.

Its Approaching

Easter is right around the corner and I have so much to do. I've decided I'm going to make a carrot cake for Easter at the Killebrew's. This should be interesting.... Anyway I have made a few Easter gifts for my family this year. I made my mom, sisters Ashley and Kels pouches (tutorial found here).


I also made Kels a cute lil bunny headband from The Perfect Pear tutorial. It was perfect since Kels has two lil bunnys and she loves animals.

My dad and brother Ty's gift is going to be a little late but I will share pics soon (all about John Deere).
