Projects, projects, projects

I've been busy finishing up some projects so I thought I'd share with you, my friends. The first is a pear pincushion. I aboslutely love this. This pattern comes from Heather Baily who I have linked on my blog and its super easy, I love easy projects. This I made for my good friend Colette's birthday...if you could only see her old pin cushion. I'll take a picture and post it - she needs a new one, we'll just say that.

This next one is just a little pillow, nothing fancy but I like the colors. I made up a nursery for my other friend Cara who just had a baby and had left over material so I threw this together. I love to accent with buttons, they make it more dimentional. Maybe I should post pictures of the nusery too...hum....

This is one of my favorite ideas. I made this for Colette's little girl who is going to be 2 for her to haul around her little dolly's and girly stuff, whatever girly stuff is. This is actually a place mat. I found it at Target and loved the colors. It already has finished edges and a different back which makes for a really cute inside. I usually add more sturdy handles, that is what my scripture bag has (I can tell I need to post that too) but for the purpose of this bag I just used ribbon and added...you guessed it, BUTTONS!!

Anyway, I just thought I'd share. I'm also working on redoing some furniture that a neighbor had outside they were going to throw away. I'm so excited to get it finished. I love people's trash!! (Well, not really their trash......)
