Create

i love this video.

it makes me so happy.

it inspires me. it almost brings me to tears.

i want to create.

anyone else?

Lately I've been feeling rather creative and crafty. Back in July I had two sweet nieces born within 3 days of each other. Elizabeth Ann Tucker and Ella Bay Boster. (You can tell they're adorable by just hearing their names, right?) With the anticipation of their births came the inspiration to make something cute for a sweet baby girl. I ended up making cute little baby booties... and I couldn't stop. They were so much fun to make!

pattern found on Make-It Love-It

My feeling of creativity continued when I spent a week in San Antonio, Texas with my sister Jenny and her cute family, including sweet little Ella Bay. Her mommy made her an adorable little dress out of a couple old t-shirts and I made a little flower headband to match.

Today I've been feeling the need for a new project... or few. There's just too many cute things out there! I started perusing different sewing and craft blogs, and had to add a new section to my blog list so I could keep track of all the cute things I was finding! (Feel free to go check them out... there are some pretty darn cute things on them!) Well here's my line-up of future projects... or projects to create someday. :)

Clever Jeans Hemming Method

Okay, well this one isn't really cute or anything... but I'm pretty excited about it. You probably can't tell but those jeans are hemmed, but the original hem at the bottom of the jeans was preserved. I am one who would definitely benefit from this technique... as jeans are usually (okay always) too long for me, but when you simply cut off the length and hem, it never looks the same. I'm actually probably going to try this today. Wish me luck!
