Fall is my very favorite time of year. I love the crispness in the air, the crunch of fallen leaves and the cinnamon pumpkin scents in my home. We just moved to a new house and I was very excited to make my first Holiday wreath for our door.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Using <a href="http://tatertotsandjello.com/2012/03/make-a-spring-moss-wreath-and-vignette.html" target="_blank">this</a> tutorial as a guide, I started with a Styrofoam wreath and covered it with moss cloth by using a hot glue gun. After it was covered I stabbed a toothpick into a Styrofoam pumpkin and stabbed it into the wreath. I used 3.5 in. wide burlap to hang from the door. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm excited how this turned out. Because the pumpkin isn't glued on, I can swap it with Christmas bulbs or plastic Easter eggs. </div>

The gal I get to make a gift for had "liked" a couple of things to give me an idea of what she liked, I also checked out her blog and Pinterest. One thing I noticed she liked was a coffee cozy. I followed a great <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/09/20/fabric-coffee-sleeve-tutorial/" target="_blank">tutorial</a> from Skip to My Lou to make one using Joel Dewberry Aviary 2 fabric.</div>

It's called <a href="http://sweetsaralyn.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Sara Lyn</a>, after my sweet Sara Lyn. Posh Posies was fun for a while, but there are a billion Etsy shops that sell hair clips. And to be honest, I don't really enjoy making clips and burning off my fingertips for $2.<br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Stephanie from Utah sent my daughter and I aprons! We both love them! They are super cute and well made. My favorite part of my apron is the towel. I always need a towel while cooking. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">This was the perfect gift for my daughter and I. </span></div>

I get stumped when I need to have a gift for an adult. I feel that if an adult wants something reasonably priced, they will go and buy it themselves. Sometimes I will give a gift card but I usually try to make a handmade item to make it more personal. My Dad's birthday is 2 days after Christmas and his favorite gifts are handmade. I think handmade gifts for men are a challenge. </div>

I love how it turned out. I used Hometown by Sweetwater. I think that it's not too masculine and not too feminine. It couldn't be too masculine with those two sweet girlies!</div>

My second craft partner in the <a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/2011/11/handmade-gift-exchange-winter-2011-linky-party.html">Craftaholics Anonymous Handmade Gift Exchange</a> mentioned that she like peacocks. I found a picture of a peacock that I thought would make a good embroidery pattern. I decided to use it to make another zipper pouch. I'm not the best embroiderer (?) but I like how it turned out. I hope she likes it.</div>

I put a couple of pack of Jelly Belly candies because Fairfield, California is the home of the Jelly Belly Factory! Isn't that what pen pals are supposed to do, send little keepsakes from their hometown? :)Jen Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12969710120457502999noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281210538477159944.post-69307880872577690162011-11-18T10:37:00.001-08:002011-11-22T21:23:29.185-08:00Craftaholics Anonymous Gift Exchange #1I was first paired up with a fellow crafter in Delaware. I didn't hear from her for a little while so I was given a new partner from Utah. Crafter from Delaware wrote me back a day later, so now I have two craft exchange partners! Lucky me!<br />

The first gift I started on was from the Utah crafter. She sent me a link to her blog and I saw that she had two cute kiddos about the same age as my kids. I know my kids love to get mail, so I decided to include a gift for her children. I made them each a rice filled owl. My kids love to put these in the freezer on warm days and pop them in the microwave for about a minute on cold days. Or they just chuck them at each other.<br />

For my partner, I made a zipper pouch, and it's pretty large. It measures about 8x10. It was a little bigger than I imagined, but I figure you can put many things in it, like: a small notebook and pen, treats, paperback book, diaper and small pack of wipes.<br />

I've created a printable that could be used in many different ways. Here are some ways I thought of:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Upload to a photo print shop, choose 4x6 or 5x7, and frame them. </li>
<li>You could arrange them in a word document and take them to Kinko's to be printed on transparency to use in soap bottles or sanitizer bottles. </li>
<li>Print it and mod podge to a piece of wood.</li>
<li>Use as a scripture bookmark.</li>
<li>Print them on cardstock and send them to the children as a post card. Kids love getting mail.</li>
<li>Make stickers.</li>
<li>Shrink them and use them on a gift as a label.</li>
<li>Print it, laminate it, and add four little magnets to the corners for a refrigerator magnet.</li>
</ul>

<b>Top chest piece</b>: I measured her chest (20") plus 2.5" for seam allowances and 2" for overlap in the back. I wanted the top piece to be about 5" tall. So the measurements are <b>(cut 2) 24.5" x 6"</b>. I added a small strip to the top, the measurements are<b> (cut 2) 2" x 6"</b>.</div>

<b>Straps</b>: Take two and sew right sides together, leaving a couple of inches to turn. Press and top stitch. Pin the dress together in the back, overlapping about an inch. I tried it on my daughter at this point so I could make sure the straps were the right length; if they aren't, you can cut them down. (Pay no attention to the crazy faces) I wanted the straps to be at a little angle in front. Find the middle of the dress and pin the straps about 2" apart. </div>

I searched and searched for just the right fabric and finally found the <a href="http://sweetwater.typepad.com/makelifesweet/2011/04/welcome-to-ourhometown.html">Sweetwater Hometown</a> line. It's perfect, with a few additions from JoAnn. I think choosing fabrics is my favorite part of quilting.<br />

I just printed a sheet of these onto computer paper and took it to Kinkos and had them print it in color onto transparency. The sanitizer bottles are from Dollar Tree. Cut out the image and roll it up and stick it in the bottle. Use something long to make it stick to the front of the bottle.<br />

I love her blog! This is one of the first blogs that I started to follow. Her patterns are great! Her children are about the same age as mine, so there is no need to change the measurements. I'm still learning how to use Photoshop Elements, and this has boosted my confidence and makes me want to pursue graphic design.<br />

It was a lot easier than I thought. I just printed a letter "S" from Word and cut it out. I then traced it with a pencil onto a 4x6 piece of cardstock. Starting with the biggest buttons, use a strong glue to adhere them to the letter. Keep going until it's covered, adding small brads to the empty spaces. This is a super fast and easy project. I have ideas to make one in the shape of a Christmas tree, or and Easter egg...Jen Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12969710120457502999noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281210538477159944.post-88613408304548046232011-01-01T16:40:00.001-08:002011-01-01T16:43:14.328-08:00My Second QuiltThese pictures are awful!

It pretty much came out of the dryer, got a quick look over, and into a box headed to Utah.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ_9DMYJ6Wu8yRcG8cKLxKFDWmDlUDzFiCaaaJp9Lhck_OxSPWQSuC5NvI1nULqTXvtRp-bR1hDcfeCGOwkYCJTaS3wSQBrLlnYqtpnt9FayFgdC-ZP6UezUA4_JniLrPjAaoNZU14uMtV/s1600/12+20+10_4896.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ_9DMYJ6Wu8yRcG8cKLxKFDWmDlUDzFiCaaaJp9Lhck_OxSPWQSuC5NvI1nULqTXvtRp-bR1hDcfeCGOwkYCJTaS3wSQBrLlnYqtpnt9FayFgdC-ZP6UezUA4_JniLrPjAaoNZU14uMtV/s320/12+20+10_4896.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557382252073550898" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rukRmoLKkpnl1MmlmF2OxfVATewGart4_MR40Yq2Sv7ngFahLdYABtWuPFA8iIqYVgv2tnu7jMeFcBco-NfZkDLhgTnLu52gdAVW434feSb9-cwini6YLiwMEJ-o_TZlphevdiGT6T_J/s1600/12+20+10_4898.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rukRmoLKkpnl1MmlmF2OxfVATewGart4_MR40Yq2Sv7ngFahLdYABtWuPFA8iIqYVgv2tnu7jMeFcBco-NfZkDLhgTnLu52gdAVW434feSb9-cwini6YLiwMEJ-o_TZlphevdiGT6T_J/s320/12+20+10_4898.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557382132175174882" /></a>Jen Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12969710120457502999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281210538477159944.post-86410752991725307882010-10-19T10:18:00.001-07:002010-10-19T14:38:11.401-07:00My first quiltI'm done! I've completed my first quilt, and I love it! I used Crazy Mom Quilts' <a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-ragged-squares-quilt.html">Ragged Squares Quilt</a> pattern. I think what drew me to this quilt were the colors that she used. They matched Sara's room perfectly. And, I also wanted something that I could quilt myself. The only issue I had while quilting was a few puckers on the quilt top (which aren't noticeable because of the loud fabrics).The back turned out perfectly. I had such fun making this that I think I'm addicted to quilting.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQnyX9OMEYlh16G0joLxjSbxDeAJnszi1y0RpMmFUMR_GowrGZcu8XnMcdFZmyHPRm7IjYRDzkKsy_VKZOr7ytT4ijPkSICP_HQ5pp5HAuH8cr6cFRlvnhLUJqkPXJbqGvZ-i7PeD_iTP7/s1600/10+15+10_4595.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQnyX9OMEYlh16G0joLxjSbxDeAJnszi1y0RpMmFUMR_GowrGZcu8XnMcdFZmyHPRm7IjYRDzkKsy_VKZOr7ytT4ijPkSICP_HQ5pp5HAuH8cr6cFRlvnhLUJqkPXJbqGvZ-i7PeD_iTP7/s400/10+15+10_4595.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529808759743178178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjghHHczl1MRlhBHBe96ScLQKk97K3aw3FRHcZtfJ_ukfBmV2xSRwsUAMLUcU9ly55Xcukzz66BIOY1nCaN3yqwIiIfH29yt56VCoqXKsW83UyYdTBsaVzQ4qwSun0zJcbynmREWspJ_iDj/s1600/10+15+10_4596.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjghHHczl1MRlhBHBe96ScLQKk97K3aw3FRHcZtfJ_ukfBmV2xSRwsUAMLUcU9ly55Xcukzz66BIOY1nCaN3yqwIiIfH29yt56VCoqXKsW83UyYdTBsaVzQ4qwSun0zJcbynmREWspJ_iDj/s400/10+15+10_4596.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529808829719831426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbqkMXgZlhBBE_BFpZ6R4a58UqXAXyArSdCwGx-Mr6o366lysDq7op3Kn6ohTieLLfpQ1mlFm-wDXeV7CIBKJxNuzjl4ME0s2EqPXpdWuLVIFBqvrSp6lqebRfqJLn4D8sMUFRZFIdgtY/s1600/10+14+10_4600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbqkMXgZlhBBE_BFpZ6R4a58UqXAXyArSdCwGx-Mr6o366lysDq7op3Kn6ohTieLLfpQ1mlFm-wDXeV7CIBKJxNuzjl4ME0s2EqPXpdWuLVIFBqvrSp6lqebRfqJLn4D8sMUFRZFIdgtY/s400/10+14+10_4600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529808635219346642" /></a><br />Linking to <a href="http://quiltstory.blogspot.com/2010/10/fabric-tuesday-9-come-party-with-us.html">Quiltstory</a>Jen Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12969710120457502999noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281210538477159944.post-20452365273468249062010-09-13T21:28:00.001-07:002010-09-13T21:47:55.570-07:00i spy purse<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOV7tnoZeI4oOtw39SibQwgk-l_3N_QM11nAN288aBXZhDaBLOEDjhYf_Sa6eEivATtR2wk7qen_YcnK9342X0i_wrPmaUDqHBpEFENDK3nnaOwHTrr6mH-Ut3TADg8K6RS2P-RvP962d/s1600/I+spy+back.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOV7tnoZeI4oOtw39SibQwgk-l_3N_QM11nAN288aBXZhDaBLOEDjhYf_Sa6eEivATtR2wk7qen_YcnK9342X0i_wrPmaUDqHBpEFENDK3nnaOwHTrr6mH-Ut3TADg8K6RS2P-RvP962d/s400/I+spy+back.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516621795802167874" /></a>My favorite type of fabric is corduroy. I love the feel of it! I found the cutest owl print and made an i spy bag. Unfortunately, this bag was destroyed about 10 minutes after Little S played with it. I didn't reinforce sewing on the vinyl. The fabric will tear away very easily.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7LoFjehhzI6z1H5vuqXIlvEvouYeure0aPvfDuzRjDRcmfXxatdBqMeZFHFUUEM7iF5RZNZNh4qmsL_adrHgCOCvcGbbDZZiWVvOX6NiQyf38Cp6qO_0UOpUoFn9At0bguyv1nzbLWpdD/s1600/I+spy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7LoFjehhzI6z1H5vuqXIlvEvouYeure0aPvfDuzRjDRcmfXxatdBqMeZFHFUUEM7iF5RZNZNh4qmsL_adrHgCOCvcGbbDZZiWVvOX6NiQyf38Cp6qO_0UOpUoFn9At0bguyv1nzbLWpdD/s400/I+spy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516621657214375282" /></a> So I started over. This time I used fleece and triple sewed everything. I went to Walmart to buy the vinyl, but they were out. So I used a vinyl table cloth in the home department. It's a little thinner but works. The i spy bag is filled with cute buttons from Michaels. They are all purse themed, i.g., lipstick, mirror and a few other things.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZVzloPUfMFCkBiernOMDzft6ybPSaOMIIyXI1Wa79CtjlJDeuCxhjA6T975OQ-OWRa3y5CQVzVg26T52AYq7bv45IveEgS5QHfqbRmbO5CblZK7ZmzlkZwMyaGROep7guC6OA4SwrpTH/s1600/ispy+purse+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 364px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZVzloPUfMFCkBiernOMDzft6ybPSaOMIIyXI1Wa79CtjlJDeuCxhjA6T975OQ-OWRa3y5CQVzVg26T52AYq7bv45IveEgS5QHfqbRmbO5CblZK7ZmzlkZwMyaGROep7guC6OA4SwrpTH/s400/ispy+purse+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516626263432260498" /></a>Jen Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12969710120457502999noreply@blogger.com0
