Sorry for the lack of posts, my machine is still broken. We have a princess party coming up in November, so I wanted to practice making some of the princess items for the party. The first being a princess wand. I think it turned out pretty cute, and will probably be making a bunch of these in the next month and a half. Here is a very basic tutorial.
Wrap stick with ribbon (in my case a pencil…remember just practicing right now).
I never thought this blog would include recipes, but cooking is a craft too, right??? So I found this recipe for creamy chicken taquitos on I heart Naptime. I halved the recipe, and I got 13 toquitos from it. They were very yummy, healthy and a more appetizing way to eat taquitos. Happy cooking and eating!!!
So…just when I get back to crafting, my sewing machine gives me grief. It is something with the bobbin case, and could cost $40.00 to replace…ugh. In the mean time, I plan to do crafts that don’t require sewing (Addison’s shorts are on hold). I found this adorable curled flower accessory at I Heart Naptime (love the name of this blog!) I got started on mine and really had a fun time with this project. I plan to make many more of these especially for the shirts that get stained, but are still in good condition.
I cut circles of different sizes. I didn’t have any rhyme or reason with it…just cut the next one a tad smaller than the one before. 
I haven’t had a whole lot of motivation to craft the last few months, but I finally got it back! I was searching through my blog roll, and found these adorable shorts that someone had made for their daughter. I was instantly in love, and decided to make some for mine. You can find the printable pattern and directions at Create and Design. I added some pictures as I went along, but I won’t give instructions as it isn’t my pattern. Happy short making…oh the possibilities with these!
P.S. these are super easy to make and only took 1 1/2 hours from start to finish.
Are you looking for ideas for baby shower gifts??? Below are a few that I received for Baby Addison that I just love! I have incredibly crafty friends who motivate me to keep on crafting! Enjoy!
Car Seat Tent
I received two of these. Each have their own unique touches that I just love!
The first is from Belize. I love the colors, and the handle decorations are too cute! 
My friend Lynn came up with the adorable diaper/wipe case. This is not the traditional case we are used to seeing. It is much more practical, and the sweet finishing touches (bow on the front) make me love it even more!
Lyric made this adorable hooded towel for me. I have a couple that Daylynn has used, and just LOVE them! They are a must for every child, and I’m glad Addison has a special one of her own. 
Anjanette made these great fabric/chenille bibs. Everyone needs bibs, and it’s even better when they are cute! 
Laura also made me these shoes. I love the print, and the leather bottom is great too!
We had a fun play date the other day, and decided to make felt crowns. This was a very easy project, and fun for the girls. I used one piece of felt cut it in half, cut points into it, and glued the two pieces together. Then we cut pieces of felt to glue onto it. So easy!
P.S. Glue sticks do not work…I just couldn’t let the girls use the fabric glue.
