DS Game Roll-Up

Thank goodness for my Nintendo DS. It kills time like no other. This being said, I needed a purse-friendly way to house some games so I can take it with me to the airport. Usually I just keep them in a tiny crocheted bag that I whipped up a few years ago, but that thing is beat. So, I made this out of some scrap fabric!

It doesn't look like much until....

Enough pockets for four DS games and one Gameboy Advance version of Tetris. My time will be well spent while I'm waiting for flights!

Book Cover

My best friend lives in Germany. I've gone to visit her once, and am going again in less than two weeks! My Grandpa had been there back in his Navy days, and picked this book up somewhere along the way.

 

He passed it on to me, since I don't speak a lick of German. I didn't have it last time I went, and this time I really want to take it but was concerned that it would get destroyed in my purse.
Hopefully, this will help.

I sewed a book cover! Complete with a pocket on the front to hold cheat sheets of phrases like "Do you have any vegetarian options?" since I'm sure that wasn't a common enough phrase to stick in a book fifty years ago. I also added an elastic band to hold the book shut so none of the pages get bent or torn while in my bag.

ABC Quilt, Finished!

New Candy Flavors, A Necklace, and Some Progress

So I finally got around to using my new candy flavorings last night.

The purple squirrels are Raspberry Vanilla, and the brown are Dark Chocolate Coffee! I haven't tried the coconut flavor yet, but plan on making owls with Chocolate bodies and coconut details.

Last night I also finally put this necklace together:

Super super simple, just how I like it.

And today I sewed more letters for the Alphabet Quilt.

I have almost all of the other letters cut out and ready to go, its just the actual sewing that takes a while.

Alright, back to work!

Cupcake Plush

I have been so exhausted lately! I took a few days to regroup and am back in full force.

A friend at work has a son who is turning one this week! For the first birthday photo shoot, she didn't want real cake, and couldn't find any fake cake that would fit the scene. Enter: giant felt cupcake.

Look at all those delicious icing layers!

For size reference, each of those squares on my cutting mat = one inch.

Happy first, little one!

ABC Quilt

A friend asked if I could make modern, funky ABC mini-quilts for her son who will be born in a couple months! I finally got the time to start today. These are each going to get batting and a backing, so each letter will be its own mini-quilt. She's going to hang them on the wall in the baby's room. Super cute idea!

Every once in a while, there's a little picture of something nature themed.

 Bird!

Flower!

Cloud Scarf

Apparently that is the name of this type of scarf. Who knew!

I couldn't decide if I like the ruffles or not, but they're staying on this one.
I basically cut strips and strips and strips of fabric, braided a lot, and sewed a bit!

Maybe an item for my Etsy store?

What do you think?
