Pretty Flowers

These flowers are so easy to make. I think they are my favorite! Go here to make some yourself.

Check out this cute rag flannel blanket. I got the idea from a pic I saw on facebook. I wasnt sure how wide to cut the strips so i just guessed. The strips are 7 inches by 36 inches. Once I sewed them all together, they fit quite nicely on 1 yard of the white flannel, there was just a couple inches of the width of the white flannel that i had to cut. I found this so much easier then doing squares as I am new at this sewing thing. The nice thing about flannel is that is frays so well. I cant wait to make another one.

Since I find out I was having another girl, My Mom, Sis and I have been making bows. I really wanted a way to display them but wasnt sure what I wanted. My Mom and I went to Michaels to browse and get some ideas and we came up with this. The mirror was like 2 bucks, I painted it pink and just attached some 1 inch dollar ribbon that I also got from Michaels. Chloe insisted we put some paper flowers around the mirror but you could decorate it any way you want. I might be making another one soon with all the bow making we have been doing. Chloe loves to look in the mirror once I put a bow in her hair.

So this cake is basically like the strawberry lemon one I made, it uses the same cool whip frosting but instead of vanilla pudding i used white chocolate pudding. Its a chocolate cake with crushed Reese's PB cups in the middle of the two layers. It was so very very yummy.

BATH SALTS
I honestly didn't know how easy it was to make Bath Salt. This would be a great gift for a friend or yourself. =) If you want to make some go here.
It makes quite a bit, so I would half it if you don't want a ton. Oh, also my colors changed after a day or two for some reason. So the purple is now blue and the green is now neon yellow. Oh well.

I have been wanting to make a dress for Jovi for a while, but just have never gotten around to it. Well, I finished this dress in about a half hour. It was so easy! I just did my own measurements and wish I would have done it a little bit bigger, but it fits at least. I got the idea on how to put it together here, but just changed a few things.
Now I just need some cute sandals for her to wear with it. =)

LUGGAGE TAGS
Ok, so I don't totally love the coordinating fabric I chose for these, but they will be perfect for when we go on vacation. Go here for a great tutorial if you ever travel. =)


These are the ones Hannah made...
They are definitely not as pretty as Jackies, but they'll work.  And if I was ever to make some more, theres a couple things I would change.
