Things I wanna make...but not til next year!

So, I've been seeing some really cute things that I REALLY want to make, but seeing as how we are getting ever closer to Christmas and I have other things I am working on...I will not be making these things this year. I thought maybe some of you who do read this might be interested in seeing some seriously cute stuff that you too might want to make for Christmas next year. So here they are...
Really cute finger puppets, found here.
Or how about these cute reindeer gift tags/ornaments.
I also think these flower ornaments are pretty cute too. 
I'm gonna get me some power tools so I can make me some of these cute things.
I do need a cute wreath, or two, or three. Ok, it looks like there are four wreaths I've been looking at! Guess I'll make one for every room. I am SURE I have enough scraps to make the wallhanging!
A little something for the kitchen table, some reversible place mats. I like that these could be made for any holiday depending on what color you use! 
Since I'm taking you to places with stuff that I want to make, how about I show you something I did make! I decided the kids needed some cute T's and had a few ideas, but when I saw this I knew what I would do.
I LOVE being able to make things with stuff I have on hand. The T's have been kickin' around for a couple months and I had the felt on hand from other projects. 
For Audrey's I added a bow and a cute button that I had bought for 'something' who knows when.
 And to jazz up Nathan's, added a little bow and button around Rudolph's neck.
I LOVE how they turned out!
Of course I'll also need some new ideas to make the kids some cute holiday shirts.I think these might do. 
And how about some simple Christmas tree bows for a cute little girls hair.

Yep, cute stuff! Better get busy early next year. :)

I want to make that someday!

So I've decided to do a post of some of the projects I have found online that I would like to make someday. I figure some of you might want to do some of these as well and I can save you some time from searching websites all day and night (like I seem to do).

I just found this one last night and I love it. A cute Ruffle Sleeve Top. It's for a size 4/5T but I think I can size it down for a littler girl.

I've seen lots of instructions for these, but have yet to try to try one out. The Pillowcase Dress. Here's another Pillowcase Dress tutorial with a twist...it's reversible...two dresses in one, can't get any better then that!

Need a Storage Container? Here's one made with fabric and some cardboard. I can see some cute ones with some car or dino fabric for Nathan in my future! Oh and how about some for Audrey in pinks and greens, and to put in my bathroom....the possibilities are endless.

A cute little Backpack. I'm thinking Christmas present for Nathan for this one.

Something for your little one who's learning their ABC's. Rag Quilt Letters!

If you sew, or want to learn how to sew, here's a simple but really cute pattern for a Disappearing 9 Patch. I've done regular 9 patch patterns before, but really want to try this one out!

How about something cute for you to carry around. Look at this Buttercup Bag Purse. I love it! Gonna have to make one in every color! J/K!!

Need a game for the kids? How about some Tic Tac Toe?

Do you have little girls who love dress up?? Here's some instructions for making your very own TuTu's. And another one...No Sew TuTu.

I also think these Pillowcases are so pretty! I love pillows and pretty fabrics!

This is really just the top of the barrel of fun things I've found to make. I'll share some more at a later date, don't want to overwhelm anyone with all this good stuff!!

Hey! I just had a thought, if there is something you would like to make too, let me know and maybe we'll have a little sewing night...or two, together with my friends and we can put together some of these little projects.

Or if you find a project online that you'd like to try, but aren't sure how to, or just want to share with me...Let me know and I'll help you figure it out or we'll try making it together!!

What do ya think? Any takers??

P.S. If you don't have a sewing machine, but really want to try one of these projects out yourself let me know and you can come over an use my machines, I have 2 so we can still both sew :)
