Keepin' busy...

Although I haven't been good at posting for quite a while...we've still been keeping ourselves busy. Thought I'd do a whole post just on all the stuff I've been sewing on the last couple months. I'll catch you up on the kids and some of the stuff that's been going on around here in some future posts (and I promise not to make you wait too long).

I've made a couple totes over the last couple of months.

 This purple and teal tote I made for my friend. She got the fabric and I just put it together. I love how it turned out! If you wanna make one of these yourself you can find the instructions here.

 A cute little tote. Just the right size for date night! And I love the pockets on the outside. Instructions for this one here. I'll be posting more about this little bag in a later post.

 Nathan decided he needed a satchel like Flynn Rider from Tangled. How could I refuse that? So I pulled out some of Chris's old work jeans and this is what I came up with. No pattern, just did it as I went.

And a new bag for me! Found the instructions here. Only thing I wish I'd done was make the handles longer...other then that. Love it!

Some sewing for Audrey...

A little summer dress made with some cute bunny fabric. Bought the fabric for $1 a yard and the buttons came from my mom. Love making stuff for pretty much nothing. 

A cute little dress made from some of my favorite fabrics. I just LOVE the cherry fabric. So summery and cheerful! Not quite finished here. Needed some lace on the bottom.

 

 And of course had to make some matching bows/flowers for her hair!

Here's my cute Audrey wearing the finished dress. She doesn't look so happy in this picture, but was really excited to put the dress on when I showed it to her.

Made some jammies for her for the summer. Can anyone guess what I used???? It's a vintage sheet I bought at the DI for $2.00. Made 2 sets of these jammies with enough let to make at least 2 more if I wanted to. I'm planning on making me some sleep shorts to match. :)

 And a little wallet for the little girl. She picked out the fabrics, that's why there's puppy and fishes.

The outside.

A little mix of different things I've done recently.

 3 matching afghans. A friend in my ward had triplets and so made her matching afghans for them. She had 2 girls and 1 boy. So cute! Love the pattern used. Will definitely be making more of those.

 For Father's Day I decided to make Chris a little something...did some applique and a little freezer paper stenciling. Chris thought I bought it, so I guess I did good. :)

 Made a CTR towel for my nephew that got baptized. Love how it turned out. Gonna make more of those too. Instructions here.

 An oven mitt...a Christmas present for my brother and SIL.

And some necklaces for my cute nieces.

And last...but not least, some new quilt blocks....

 Bow tie blocks.

 Starflower.

and the Rail Fence.

I've made other stuff too, but that's all the pictures of stuff I could find!

Sorry that was so long. Come again soon, I'll be posting again...I promise!
