Sewing, Crafts, and Home DIY
I'm in the very slow process of decorating my daughter's room. It's the nursery, I guess. But she's over a year old...is it still a nursery? Anyway, I found these cute large wood letters at a local craft store and decided to do something with it--hence this Framed Burlap Monogram. The letter itself isn't burlap, in case you can't see that from the picture, its the matting. Or whatever. Anyway, I really love this whole look. One of … [Read more...]
Hello! I'm Rebecca from Searching Out Simple and I'm so glad to be here again today! Fall is slowly creeping in the air around here and I found it to be an inspiration for some headbands for a sweet babe. I love the colors and textures associated with fall. It's fun to have a lot of options at you fingertips when working on a project like this. Most things that I make have a pattern or specific requirements and I want them to be finished with … [Read more...]
Today I can't deny that my heart hurts. Actually my heart hurts every single day still, but it's weighing heavier today. Alice would have been 34 today. These are the flowers from her funeral that we saved and dried. I still can't believe she's gone. And I find that with each passing day I don't feel the pain lessen and I don't come closer to accepting it. It is almost the opposite. I feel angry that this had to happen, that we … [Read more...]
Back in May, I was trying really hard to make something I didn't have a pattern for. And it was a big fat flop. So I had all these sewn 'pieces' that I didn't really want to throw away, so I decided to refashion them into a little baby shirt for Miss E. It turned out awesome! I loved the shirt. Well today I decided to make another one with a tutorial so I could share it with you all how to make one. Seriously...isn't she the cutest … [Read more...]
You might have seen the latest gorgeous rhinestone Silhouette projects going around this last weekend. Well I got a chance to review the Rhinestone Starter Kit using my Silhouette and believe it or not, it was one of the easiest Silhouette projects I've ever done! Also turned out very cute, if I do say so myself! Right now you can get the Silhouette Cameo and the Rhinestone Starter Kit for only $269.99--regularly $399! Use the code … [Read more...]
Hello, Honeybear Lane readers! This is Rebecca from Searching Out Simple. I'm so happy to have been chosen as a contributor. Thank you, Heidi! Today I have a onsie makeover to share with you. I wanted to make a gift for a cute little girl I know and this is what I came up with. Dressing up a onesie is a quick & easy way to make a custom dress for a gift or your own baby girl. I used a knit fabric but you can also use woven, though knit … [Read more...]
The countdown is on: moving in three weeks! To a bigger place where my baby girl can have her very own room. And I can finally put up all the decorations I've made for her! Here's one more... Simple and cute. My kids love anything ABC related (which inspired this alphabet onesie.) Guess what I made this little decoration from? What's that you say? You couldn't tell it was an "As Is" IKEA cupboard door that cost me $5? I've … [Read more...]
Here's a baby outfit I whipped up the other day for a baby shower gift... There are dozens of baby/kid skirt patterns out there and I'm 100% positive that this is one of them. But I've made and sold dozens of skirts, so I've learned a thing or two about the process. Read on after the jump. … [Read more...]
