I found the pattern online and modified it to my own needs.

Ribbon Skirt

leftover ribbon

leftover cream sheet

lots of accessory options

Kitchen Curtains

I found this fabric and fell in love with it! It was a remnant piece, just under a yard, so I only paid $4 for it. I added a cheap cream sheet around the edges and now I have fabulous kitchen curtains!

Crocheted Scarf

My Great Grandma taught me to crochet when I was a kid. I was never any good at more than one row. Recently I decided that I wanted to relearn. So, I went to the store, picked up some yarn and a crochet hook. I was able to remember how to do the first row, but was completely stumped on the following rows. With a quick tutorial from my Sister-in-Law I was able to complete my scarf and am ready to take on a blanket next.

Fleece Backed Baby Blankets

More Hair Bows

These bows were for my first paying customer.

I had so much fun picking ribbon out!

This is that same brown sheet, again.

Way more complicated then I though it would be to sew

but so worth it.

It turned out so cute

and used the leftover fleece for all my other projects

(lots more to come)
