Sock Bunnies

I made these sock bunnies last year and never posted them. Now Ive gotta hurry and do it before Easter is over! This year I made bunnies with more with colorful socks.

They are both pretty cute!

Here are the instructions that I like best, I tried 3 different online instructions.

Some things I changed was putting a little rice in the hands, feet and tail to hold them down,

Don't stuff them too full and I like the look of the big tail better then the little ones.

The tail is not in the instructions I just hand sewed a little tight beanbag like ball made with leftover sock fabric and rice into a tight ball and put it in the heal curve of the sock. Then I gathered the fabric around the tail and sewed it together. I added the tail after I stuffed the arms and before I stuff the body and legs. Get it?

They are super easy and a big hit!

St Patricks Day Shamrock Wreath and Rainbow

Katie needed to do a craft. We made the rainbow with chenele wire and the shamrocks are from last year after they went on sale. I got them all for .50 cents! Katie placed all the shamrocks where she wanted them then I glued and hung the rainbow.

Chair-ity

Yep I made that. No big deal. Didn't cost me anything.

Really, this was made with a lot of charity and talent from my MIL she just thought up how to build it, all with materials she had then showed me and my 2 sisters how to make them. It was lots of fun and these chairs will last FOREVER.

Here are my sisters rocken chairs

And some messages make it even more special and personal!

Zipper Flowers

In January I made lots of zipper flowers, Brian and I went to the Temple and I saw 2 girls with head bands on and zipper flowers on them. Then I came home and saw one on this blog. I told my sister Jenny about them and she said she saw one over the weekend also. SO I told my MIL about them ans she showed me a whole drawer full of polyester sippers of lots of different colors so I went to work and make about 10 zipper flowers! This was my favorite I sent it to Charmaine for her Birthday. The rest I will sell and of course save a few for My self and Katie REALLY wants one!

Maybe when my camera is fixed I will piost more photos. I make more flowers every couple of days.

crafting for baby boy: Tie applique onesies

I have been very exacted to make some crafts for a baby boy. When Jr was born I did not sew and craft as much as I do now. Also I did not get as many ideas. These onesies' with a tie is not an original idea or very new, but it is new to me. I am so exited to take jr. jr. to church in them. Especially this one I spiced up the plain tie and onesie by adding a vest. nice.

Like so many of the things I make the idea is not original I saw something I liked and made it my own. The idea came from this creative item etsy seller. Thank you designer of this adorable vest onesie and matching booties you inspire me!
