Crafting like crazy

Saturday I made a skirt for Little K. I bought this fabric back in October and have been so excited to make something. So I got this great book from the Library that shows how to make a skirt with subjects measurements (instead of a set paper pattern). I made the layered A line and love it! I had a bunch of fabric left and thought I would tease K and tell him I would make him a tie to match. He surprisingly agreed and so I went to work looking for patterns. I couldn't find one I liked so I took an old tie apart and used that as a template. I didn't really think that he would go through with it. It is kinda dorky but they match and that is SO cute!


Also, I was able to watch my friends son while she was giving birth to her second child. (Congrats Keara!) While he was here playing, I made him this shirt. It is a new thing I learned how to do with freezer paper. Super easy and fun!
