Little Fellas with a Stache

Within the past few months I have become a true pinterest addict. It might actually be border line unhealthy. But I'm thinking, as long as I keep making things for my adorable niece and little nephews, it not really a bad thing..... Anyway. In my hours of pinterest searching I found the perfect presents for my nephews, Emmett and Dirk. Since I don't like near them, I figure the next best thing is buying their love. I'll craft my way there!
Mustache Pacifiers!!
As I've looked up craft and DIY blogs, everyone documents the creativity process. So here goes my first attempt - should anyone fall in love with these and want to make their own!


Step one: foam sheets from Walmart, and pacifiers
come to find out, I was a little out of the loop - not being a mother yet- that there are many different types of pacifies. Thanks to Mitch I eventually found the right ones. Thanks Mitch!
Step two: cut out the mustaches. 
 But be sure not to make them too big! I don't think this would work quite so well on a little fella. But I had fun =D
 Step three: add a little hot glue and VOILA!! the little guy becomes a little mister. 
Step four: mail goodies and wait to get the adorable pictures!
This one features little Emmett. Thanks Abby!
The picture of Dirk is yet to be, seeing as he hasn't made his grand entrance to the world yet

Felt Dolls for Torrance

This summer my sister-in-law, Abby, and I made a fun present for our niece, Torrance, for her 2nd birthday. She's the cutest and girl and I can't believe she's two!!  Since we are both creative souls, we decided to make it and delve into our creative streaks. I found the idea in by blog surfing ( I found it a while ago, and so I don't remember what blog). But here it is!


The embellishments were the funnest part! And then inspired by Tangled, I designed Rapunzel's dress and her wonderful long hair! The packets of felt that I found didn't have brown for some reason, which explains the random hair colors =D
