Mr. Spider...Bead Art

I have been wanting to make Mr. Spider for a while, I finally sat down and made him!

 While I was online looking for a good spider for inspiration, I found this cross stitch pattern.

I just used a little sharpie pen and made tiny dots on the orange satin to mark my pattern

{I "eye balled" it, so it isn't perfect at all!}.

I had to make it smaller because
I have a small frame to put it in.

 Once I got in my groove sewing the tiny beads, it didn't take too long!  Super easy project to do!

Have a Scary Day!

Sewing Project: Baby Carseat Cover {Day11}

First of all, I haven't been able to get on the computer because of a really bad virus & my bro-in-law was able to fix it last night.  I don't  like it when my computer is sick...

I am still working on my next burlap craft, hopefully today I will get it done.  It is my hubby's birthday, so who knows if I will be able to post it or not later...I have to make him a birthday pie.

So, I thought I would share a sewing project that I did last year for my sister's new baby.  I have never made one of these before, but my sis-in-law, Lara, made my baby one and I used that as a pattern.

I didn't have the mind set while doing this to make it into a tutorial post.  I just cut two different fabrics the same, sewed them right sides together with the ric-rac ribbon in between, turned it right side out.  Then attached the strips of fabric with a cute button for the handle.

I know on http://www.etsy.com/ they have several sellers that either have them pre-made or patterns to make it.

I wish that I had something like this for my other babies...that would've been handy.

Enjoy your day!
