Fleece hat turned slippers

I don't think I can call this a tutorial but anyway I thought I would share with you what I did.

Here is a plain fleece hat, I don't remember where or why we had this hat but it didn't get worn because we all wear homemade and silly/cute hats in this house.

So I flattened it out and laid a pattern out on it. There was enough room for all the pattern pieces plus a scrap of extra.

 Here are the pieces

 Julie is especially proud of these because she "helped" me sew them. Since she no longer takes naps if I want to sew I have to find inventive ways to entertain her so she sat on my lap and I showed her where she could hold the fabric for me.

And then we added some puffy paint to the bottom for some traction.

Ignore the silly cat and airplane... puffy paint isn't easy to draw with ;)

Made it Monday: more robots!

Happy Monday, everyone! Since I've been back from Mexico I've been trying to get some things done and haven't really been able to do that. But I do have one project I can show you now. I made a guitar strap for my friend in Indy. I used my favorite robot fabric (used on another project here) and some red duck cloth. I really love how it turned out and he loves it too!

I hope you all have a splendid week and I promise to be back on the ball with crafting asap. I'm working on a blanket, some baby shoes, some monkey hats, a couple boppy covers, and a few other assorted things. It's like I've got a project in every room!

Made it Monday

Hey guys I hope everyone had a good weekend. We went to Meig's for dinner on Saturday and I worked all day Sunday so I really didn't have much time for crafting but here is what I have been up to.

Right now I am finishing up a hooded cowl for Meig's mom. She likes blue so we picked out two nice blue yarns to use, I think it's turning out nicely and should be finished by the end of the day.

I finished up an I love my state bag for a good friend of ours.

Meig's birthday was last month while she was in Mexico and I made her a sewing machine cover and matching pin cushion. I should have taken pictures before I gave it to her but forgot so here is the cell phone picture I do have.

Well that's what I was able to accomplish the past week. Now I am off to get into something crafty before I get distracted!

Have a great week everyone.

Foodie Friday- Banana Bread, Mug Cake

Welcome to our foodie linky party! We would love to see what you've been cookin'.

This week I made 2 things I thought I'd share with you.

First banana bread, I make this all the time but I never use the same recipe twice.

I saw this recipe on pinterest for a salted caramel chocolate mug cake. Is it just me or do all mug cakes taste rubbery? I have tried 3 or 4 different recipes and they have all been fails. I couldn't even finish this one..

Please link up your posts about food and if you do we would love it if you would post our button somwhere.

Have a great weekend everyone!
