I really stink at this whole blogging thing. I knew school would keep me busy but never realized exactly how busy. Luckily my body decided I had been working too hard and decided to get sick and stop working temporally which gave me time to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. Or update this blog briefly with my random crafts in the year 2012 that I have yet to blog about. All of these crafts were made with the help of the ultimate crafter Brandie herself.
This, my 6x6 t-shirt quilt, was by far the greatest accomplishment of the year 2012 craft wise. I was determined to finish it before the end of 2012. I believe I finished like December 30th. Not a minute too soon. I LOVE IT! I sleep with it every single night. I love looking at the different t-shirts and remembering the good times and memories from each of them. Brandie helped me find the back fabric and how much batting to put in between and she graciously sewed the ribbon around it for me. It was a long process to make it but I am so glad that I did make it. One day after I graduate college I am going to make one for my little brother Jasson per his request when he saw mine.
This is what my living room looked like for several hours while I was cutting out the material. I used a 3-ring binder cover as my template for the size of my square.
This was the layout before I sewed it together.
These two pics are the final product! Like I said it was quite the process and not the cheapest thing I have done but I am so glad I did it! I LOVE IT! Thanks to Brandie for helping me make it!
My other random 2012 crafts
The rest of these pictures are just a few of the crafts I was able to make in between my Fall 2012 semester and my Spring 2012 semester. Again I must give credit where credit is due! The ultimate crafter helped me with all of these crafts. Enjoy :)
This was my old short sleeve wonder woman t-shirt
that I made into a dress for Ms. Anna Claire!
She loves it of course!!!
WONDER WOMAN!!!
Wendy loves to be matchy matchy so I decided to surprise her and Anna Claire with matching Christmas aprons. Anna loves to help her momma in the kitchen and Wendy loves that she loves to help.
Adorable no?
They are making Santa's cookies here.
That's chocolate dripping from AC's mouth :)
I saw on pinterest where you could make old t-shirts into workout shirts so I decided to do that with two of my old shirts that I didn't put on my t-shirt quilt. I gave one to my little cousin (the LSU) and kept the other one for myself.
I will be donning the yes please shirt for the Crescent City Classic next weekend! I am very excited to beat my time of last year! Stay tuned for the update on my races in the Spring of 2013. I have done 2 so far. :)
I mustache you a question: Do you like this pillow case?
I made this lovely pillowcase for my dear friend Becca as a Christmas gift! She moved to Utah in January and I miss her terribly. This pillow case for some reason was so hard for me to figure out! I actually made this and the exercise shirts by myself which was probably why it was so difficult but I enjoyed making it! There is nothing like working hard and seeing the final product! Definitely a sense of pride when you are done! I hope Becca is enjoying her mustache pillow case in Utah!
WHEW!!!
I think that is all the pictures I have to share! I made three plastic grocery bag holders but for some reason I don't have a picture of any of them. Go figure! Oh well! They turned out cute. I have one more of those to make so perhaps when I finally get around to doing it I will have a picture of it to share with you. Thanks for making it through this very long post!
