Train Pillow Set : :

What a busy and beautiful weekend! I hope a good one was had by all!! Over the weekend I finished up a recent, pretty adorable custom order that came through my etsy that I thought I'd share today!

Sometimes the most simplest of projects are the ones that make me the most happy! And, look... something for little boys! Finally!!



My customer sent me photos of a pretty simple, applique quilt with a transportation theme to base these train pillows after. She plans to have them sitting in front of the headboard instead of shams. I think it's both a clever and extremely cute idea!

This was definitely a fun project for me!



I'm loving them all stacked up!



The backs are finished in a few of the Ruby Dot prints I just picked up from Skye Reve Fabrics. These teeny tiny dots are another great neutral. I love that Sundae print, too!



I hope there will be a happy boy on the receiving end of this weekend's pillow making!! I'm linking them up with Today's Creative Blog!

As for today, I'm hoping to make a dent in my new stack of felt!!



How about you, do you have any sewing plans for today?

Happy Weekend {and a Winner!}

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I am sure you're all very busy today!! I have SO much planned today myself. On Monday I asked the question in my giveaway post, "I'd love to know what your favorite thing to make for holiday decorating is?" Your answers were sweet, with many stories of family traditions. I am big on traditions, too. We have several of our very own and the crafting traditions we do together are still my favorite holiday moments. Thank you for sharing yours with me and for visiting this past week!

During the week, I shared a new holiday decorating craft of my own each day. A new Funky Christmas pillow, an embroidery hoop Glittered Snowflake Mobile, another new Christmas Bunting Garland, and my first go at Quilted Christmas Stockings. I hope you might take a moment to check them out! We've certainly had a lot of fun with our Christmas making and decorating this year!



And now, a giveaway winner!

Thank You to all of you who just found my blog this past week and to those of you who entered my giveaway! I read on the Sew Mama Sew Facebook page last night that 535 bloggers participated in Giveaway Day, that's pretty amazing! I'm so glad I joined in!!! From the 1143 entries that came in, Mr. Random says our lucky winner is comment #986, Tamie! I hope you enjoy your Sherbet Pip winnings! I will be in touch shortly! For those of you who still dream of stashing a Sherbet Pips bundle, my sponsor Skye Reve Fabrics has them for a great price right here!

Thanks again everyone!!! Happy Weekend!

Quilted Christmas Stockings : :

Yesterday we had such a wonderful day celebrating my little girl's birthday! Thank you for all her birthday wishes! We also spent some time together in my sewing room stitching up these quilted Christmas stockings for my brother and his fiance.



I had never made stockings before, but I found it really quick and fun. I even made a felt pattern to tuck away for any matching stockings they may need made in the future. :)



The fronts are quilted, with a layer of soft, cotton batting and the insides are lined. That was definitely the trickiest part for me. I had to think carefully of how I would need to do that... Yes, the lining needs to be inside out on the outside, right sides facing, with an opening for turning... It gets confusing for me. How about you?



The backs are both finished in the Cheery Circles Dots prints by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake. I picked up both from my sponsor Pink Castle Fabrics -- they're still available right here for a great price!



The fronts are made up in a simple scrappy patchwork with some polka dot prints, some of my favorite Little Apples prints (on sale here :) and a little of my new favorite, Sundae in Ruby!



I think two more may have to be made before Christmas -- one for Kevin and one for me!!!

The Making : :

I can honestly say I have never sewn so much in my life! I've decided to leave the small quarters of my sewing room for now and to occupy our dining room table for the remainder of Christmas making days. It's quite a mess, with piles everywhere -- the finished, the almost finished, and the not yet started!



This is my new favorite style of the Birthday/Pretend Play Crowns -- simple and sweet!



There seriously are felt flowers everywhere!!! And, thank goodness I have two little helpers that fight over getting to do the cutting with my GO! baby. They really are a huge help! I hope I won't get in trouble for reveling that. ; ) Trust me -- all the money I do make goes to them and more one way or another! :)



I really can't wait to cut into these a little more! They are a recent stashing from Skye Reve Fabrics, the Bonnie and Camille Ruby Sundae prints in all six colors. I love, LOVE this print!! I used a little on finishing off the Flower Pillow above and in the making of Haila's Little Apron. I can think of about a 100 other things I'd like to make with them, and I can hardly wait.



How about you, what are you working on these days?

A Little Apron : :

Monday morning while Haila was at school I began work on a little surprise present for her. I was planning to save it for her birthday next month or for a Christmas gift, but then yesterday I decided a Thanksgiving apron would be nice, too. So, with a beautifully wrapped present in mind for the design, I pulled some bright fabrics both new and old from my stash.



In order we have -- Spots in Blue by Kaffe Fassett, Kona Candy Pink, Garden Party Center Piece in Navy, Ruby Sundae in Lime, and Wasabi Cross Weave by Moda.



I finally used some of my beloved Garden party, but not too much! You know, I have almost every print stashed away. In full disclosure, once I began sewing after discovering Good Folks, I went through a major Anna Maria Horner hoarding phase! But, I'm pretty sure that's normal.



After revealing my surprise apron to my girl Monday afternoon, I insisted on needing to add three buttons down the front. She insisted that they must be pink. Well as it turned out, I was all out of large pink buttons? I still can't believe it! So, we made our own -- Felt embroidered buttons!



And, we stitched them on in a row yesterday during my sewing time. I think it adds a sweet, handmade, childish touch. Even though I made them. :)



Haila has her favorite. Which she happily pointed out as she said, "I think next time you should make them all like this one." Yes, yes, next time I will, I am certain there will be a next time! Depending on how much "helping" my girl does on Thanksgiving, for her birthday or maybe Christmas still?



You can clearly see here why these colors were necessary. It sort of pulls the whole outfit together, don't you think?! I wonder where she gets her love of color, hmn?



I'm so glad she loves it! I'll be entering this apron in the Wearables category of Celebrate Color this month.



I actually have two more aprons to share that I made over this past weekend, but they'll have to wait until next week when the ladies I'll be cooking with and I are together. It will certainly be a colorful kitchen! I can't wait!!
