Neffy’s Baby Shower!

I couldn’t wait to make something for this shower! I decided on diaper bouquets and I painted an umbrella much to my hubby’s dismay.

You know I can’t resist my aluminum foil. Sorry, I went to the craft store and they wanted $5.74 for one styrofoam ball! I had to keep thinking…keep thinking… And the pack of skewers were $4.00. Keep thinking. Luckily I had the floral picks already, and they were long enough. I got two sizes.

The umbrella is well…very artsy. We are trying to figure out how Neffy is going to get it home. We also decided it would make a great guest book. I just give them the sharpie and they signed the umbrella.

Oh My Air Freshner Doll Pictutorial- Um…Moderately Easy

I can never get enough of these dolls. They look great everywhere and make nice gifts. I’m willing to make a kit for $10.00 plus shipping for anyone that wants one. The kit includes a pre-made skirt, hat, arm, face, and some leftover fabric. You just need glue gun, and a Renuzit Air Freshner in the fragrance of your choice. If you want to go it all on your own, I just ask that you please send me a picture or comment so I can enjoy your creativity.

A fresh face is always so nice to start with.

Felt Pattern.

Picking fabrics is always so much fun!

Cut the main two pieces.

She always insists on a hem or finished bottom.!!!!

I’m coming together finally!

I have extra material! What should I do to make me look beautiful?

How do you like this hat?

Oh, Oops, those are my arms!

Decisions…decisions.

I look loooovely darling…

Raine brought me lace…such a sweet angel she is…

How’s this dahling?

Or this?

It would help if I combed my hair first before I put on a hat.

There… I’m done… What do you think?

Oh Shoot, I forgot my Earrings!!!!

Well, I’m all dressed up and no man to be found! Guess I’ll hang out with the ladies!

Extra fabrics! Aren’t they beautiful? On sale too for a good price at Jo Ann’s.

Ribbon Cord Headband- Easy

Jun 14

Posted by laritaraine

This was nice for the girls to do, and I get to wear one of them. I was hoping I had more things to braid in, but the basic braided thing works and I like the versatility of colors that can be used. Sky is the limit with these headbands. I went to visit Joann’s Fabric store and was so surprised to see all of the jewelry making supplies, and the new sewing machines. Raine said: Ooh Mommy, I love this store. What’s so funny is that she has been in there or others with me many times, but this time she saw it differently. She was really wide eyed, touching the fabrics, going from aisle to aisle and stopping at her favorite spots. I was excited for her. I hope she was inspired. My favorite part is always the candy at the register.
