Blast from the past!!!!!!!

     So to start out this blog I am going to post some of my old projects.  A few years ago, we were tight financially, and Christmas was coming up. So being creatively minded,  I decided to make everybody's presents. Little did I know how much time and energy this would entail, but I had a blast regardless of all the hard work I put into it.  In the future I will try to post some tutorials, if a project wasn't my original idea than I will put a link underneath of the picture.  Sorry for the poor quality pictures, I will try to take better ones in the future, but because I have already given a lot of these projects away, I can't take new pictures. If you see anything on my blog that you would like a tutorial for, leave me comment, and I will do my best to post a tutorial.

These lovely owl hats, are quick fun projects. I am slightly obsessed with owls so you will be seeing a lot of them!!!

       I'm not positive that this is the tutorial that I used to make this hat but I believe it's pretty close.

This hat was inspired by pinterest, I just used a basic hat pattern, and added the details myself.

I hate paying for crocheting patterns but these were so cute that I just had to make them. These ended up being a present for my baby cousin, I wish I could have gotten a picture of her in them, but she lives faaaaaaaaar away.

This was entirely my own idea, I may have seen a picture somewhere with the general shape of this bag, but other than that this was my own brain child. I originally thought that I would keep this bag, but we accidentally forgot somebody on our christmas gift list so I ended up giving it away. Which is completely fine with me because I got to make myself another bag, I will hopefully show you a picture of that, and maybe even a tutorial, in an upcoming blog.

 

This idea came from pinterest, but I never found exactly what I was looking for, so I ended up creating this on my own. This was a lot of work, but turned out so well, it was very rewarding to see how excited my niece was to receive this present.

This jean quilt was for my mom. A lady from our church gave me pre-cut jean squares, but not being really into the whole jean colour I decided to cut them into triangles and bleach them. So, yes the white triangles are still jean fabric just really bleached. I soaked them for maybe 5-10 min. in a bucket of bleach to fade them. I got a spray bottle full of bleach and just slightly bleached the other triangles. The edging of the quilt I left completely blue. 

Anyways I hope you enjoyed taking a look at all my past projects, and as I said I hope to improve on the quality of pictures, and add some tutorials. 

Have a fantastic day!!!!
