Hot Pink and Lime Green Ruffle Address Book Make-Over

So I got a new address book this weekend... okay no, I got an address book this week... my previous address book was lined paper that I managed to keep from Christmas last year... that actually is a BIG deal because we moved after Christmas... and I loose everything.

So I made this little address book cover.... I love it... I am waiting for my new fabric to come in to make on for my "mom planner" yes I have one... but last year I lost it... probably because it wasn't cool with a cover... but now that I know how to sew I will make myself one... AND I WILL NOT LOOSE IT.

(I found it the other day when hubby cleaned the garage... he said he found it in the car and put it in the garage in January after the move... HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT???... I bet you are asking that right now right? or you are saying stop talking kati, move on to the pictures kati... okay, so here they are)

Before: black + store bought= BORING



After... Hot Pink + Lime Ruffles= SO SUPER CUTE!

The Pink Dandilion & The Spooktacular Aprons

I have been working away and just had to show you my newest aprons. The pink dandilion was for a friend and The Spooktacular is for me, however, the orange one's sister (has a orange ruffle) will be up in etsy in a few days... I ran out of fabric. I make aprons, I love aprons, and yet I do not have an apron... so this is my new baby and I made a match tea towel holder... Just makes hosting for thanksgiving and fall so much more fun... (oh and I am not weird Thanksgiving in Canada comes 2 weeks before Halloween)

So here is The Pink Dandilion Apron

The back/reversed side, shown with the Peonie Pin


The Spooktackular Apron


I don't have a picture of the back, as I asked hubby to take a picture right before dinner and I was in a hurry so I could get to work... but it is black.



The Spooktackular Tea Towel Holder





I love them... I have a few more coming out. I wanted to get some more on my etsy and other items... I just ordered some beautiful damask fabric that I am super excited to play with.

Thanks for visiting. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Changing Table, Birp Cloth and Bib

So a few days ago I told you guys that I had a friend who wanted me to make her a gift for a boy and a girl... well I was going to do the personalized pillow... but instead....


A diaper change station




It has a little pocket at the bottom for the wipes and diapers, and then closes like a little clutch. My friend always sends me ideas she finds while scouring through the the boutiques and the clutch is one she sent to me... I think from juju. But thought that it was really cool and wanted to make one!

A birp cloth






And a bib...




I did it up like a gift set...





Hopefully she likes it. Thank you guys for your help!!!

A twist I say!!!

OKAY I know I have put alot of tea towel holders up here and I promise I will have some new stuff... but you have to see what I have been working on!!!!

So my dad's wife asked me to make her mom and aunt a tea towel holder. Vicki is very easy going and when I said what would you like she said one yellow, and one pink... those are the requirments... NOW I TRIED to talk her into giving me some more imput but...nope... she is kinda awesome like that and says anything I want will look great... (I know all other crafters will think that is cool... because lets face it... that means we can go crazy with our ideas!)

So I went with a standard potholder but I custom made it for the yellow one....






Then went crazy and tried a totally new look for the pink one....




What do you think???

Which one to you like better?

Oh and while I was sewing Joshua was making his binder for school... her in ole' Canada kids start school in mis September... and they aren't out of school till late June... I KNOW!

So here is his craft project he wanted me to share....


and I can't just share one, so here is little miss Peyton's. Hope this makes you smile... sure makes me!

Blog Swap with A Glimpse Inside

Hi everyone... today I am blog swaping with Allison from A Glimpse Inside... I am glad she featured her dalmation cupcakes because they are TO DIE FOR!!!! I can't beleive that this is her first swap... well let me just say WELCOME we are so happy to have you here!

Hello! I am so excited to be blog swapping with Kati today! This is actually my first blog swap. :) Kati is so wonderful and I am so happy she wanted to have me over for a "visit" in her world today.

First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Allison and I am from A Glimpse Inside. I am an Army wife with a creative side. I LOVE to craft, paint, sew, take photos, decorate, go thrifting and more!
The dear husband, Travis, and I are currently living in KY. We just moved here in May from our first duty station in VA. We won't be here long but we enjoy being close to our home state of TN. He is super supportive and encourages me to create anything that comes to my mind.

But enough about me... I bet you all just want me to get to the good stuff. :)



On my blog, I share pictures and stories of our life along with my crafts, recipes, thrift finds, decor, and more. I started blogging almost a year ago and it has become quite an addiction. Today, I want to share some of my favorite things that I have featured on my blog.

I LOVE to share some the the thrifty finds that make it home with the hubby and I. Here are some crates that my husband turned into a table for his "man cave."

On Tuesdays, I share yummy recipes. This one is AWESOME and a must try- Dalmatian Cupcakes.

I love to share furniture or project transformations. It is always so fun to see what something will turn into when you are finished.

Birdie Shelf Redo

Mail Center Redo

I also just like to share some of the ways I have decorated our house here in KY.

Style with Shutters

But I mostly share crafts! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to craft! I am even SO lucky to have my own craft room in this house so I can turn out fabulous creations. I try to share a tutorial for most crafts that I create so you all can try to make one for yourself.

Twine wreath with Coffee Filter Flowers

Crepe Paper Rosette Wreath (apparently I like wreaths :) hehe)

I would absolutely LOVE for you all to come visit me in my neck of the woods and take a glimpse inside my world. Stop by, take a look around, stay awhile and maybe leave a comment or two. Who doesn't love those comments? I know I do!


Thank you Kati for having me over and blog swapping with me! You are a fabulous host! :)

OKAY I need your help!!!!

Okay guys I need your help, I don't know what I should do, or any other ideas. I have a friend who wants me to make her 2 girlfriends baby shower presents. One is for a boy and one is for a girl. She needs one by Sunday and one for next week (which is awesome.)

I was thinking of either:

A personalized pillow like the Sophie Pillow or Elwynn Pillow.





OR

Start something completly new and different and try something like....

A personalized baby wipe container

A baby bath towel

OR

What is your idea??? If you have done anything new, or old and have any great ideas please leave a comment and if you have a link to yours or anyone eles' tutorials or just suggestions please send them my way I HAVE GOT TO GET TO WORK!!!

Thank you guys!!!!
