One of the perks to moving and not really knowing anyone close is that I have a lot of time on my hands. For the fourth of July I decided I wanted my girls to have matching patriotic outfits, so I went to the fabric store the night before and found this cute fabric to make these skirts. DeNae had given me the idea so I decided, why not?!
Then she showed me a pillow case dress. I had never really seen or heard of one before until she showed me the super cute ones she had made Leah. Again I decided to try. Gabby LOVES this dress, which I was grateful for seeing as it doesn't "spin and wiggle" like most that she has. 
So of course then I had to make her one that did wiggle and spin. I had seen a dress like this at JC Pennies and it was outrageously priced. I figured I could probably figure out how to make one like it so this was my first attempt. I made a few mistakes, but she loves it and I am not too ashamed of it either. I do have to fix the sleeves next time around...
I think my favorite craft that she showed me was these "themed" bows! I LOVE THEM!! She showed me the dragonfly, flower, and butterfly and I was hooked! So when our husbands decided to go for a all day friday-saturday biking/camping trip last weekend we decided to get together and craft! It was so much fun and I even made up some themes of my own :)!
This one looks amazing in the girls hair! I will have to post some pictures of these in use, but for now I wanted to let you see what they looked like so you could make them yourself, if you want ;)!
I love, love, love this one! I can't believe she figured out how to make this all on her own, she is amazing!!
Her tree is different, but I was in a hurry at this point so I will have to post the revised one after I get around to making it.
And then there is the diaper wipe case cover. Sorry Ang that I never understood when you were trying to explain your to me! But this is how DeNae showed me and I really like it.

So those are the crafts that I have been up to the last two months and I am excited to do more!!
