Diaper Girl

Here is another one of the onesies that I made finished and placed on Diaper Girl. The day before a shower I was going to after changing Warren's diaper in the morning this idea popped into my head. Could I form a body out of diapers, instead of doing it for a diaper cake? This is what it ended up looking like. Let's call her Daffodil for the yellow flower on her shirt.

I painted a box to put her in with a box of wipes to stand on and a tube of Desitin diaper rash cream in her arm.

I used 28 diapers to make her. Three sets of 7 for the head, upper and lower body. 2 sets of 2 for the arms. Finally a roll of 3 for the shoulders/neck.

She was quite fun to make and design. Now I want to make Diaper boy.

A Purse

This is a little purse that my visiting teacher had and I thought that it would be fun to make. Click here to view the tutorial. I made a few additions adding flowers and doing the pockets a little bit different too. Here is the purse that I made.

Long Time

It has been since the first of May since I have posted anything. I learned how to make flowers from Cami. Thuy taught me how to my a purse, and I tried to incorporate some flower techniques that I learned from Cami to put on the purse. I made some flower magnets for Mother's Day gifts. Tried to make a little dress for a little baby girl which I am not through with yet. It is ending up being more of a shirt (It got a wee bit to short). I finished a onsie that I had been working on before for a shower of a friend too.

These past few weeks for shopping I have been addicted to Smith's they had an event where all coupons that were less than $1 became worth a dollar off. It was a grand old time. Getting some storage and other items for FREE or less than a dollar. (If you are wondering why I put coupons on here too it is a project that I work on every week. We create shopping lists and opportunities to learn how to save money.)

I will post some pictures later and some of the things that I was able to get one some of my shopping trips.

I still have yet to complete one of the projects that I had originally set out to do. I WILL DO them I promise. My husband said that if I haven't done them then they need to go. I will get to work. However, in the process of doing this blog I have had the desire to create things which is important too.
