I do a lot of crafting FOR my kids. In an effort to spend more time crafting WITH my kids, I’m starting a little segment that I’ll call Kiddie Crafts. Today we’re gonna get started with a butterfly craft for the kids. I love this craft so much! When you are done, the kids are […]
Appliqued Superhero Capes
A friend of mine has three little superhero fans in her house. I made them some of my superhero masks, and they, of course, needed some capes to go with them. I used a higher quality felt this time around for the masks. You can read my post about felt here. For the capes, I […]
Leah’s Heart Party
Hard to believe my little Leah is already one! To keep things easy, I chose a heart theme since her birthday is so close to Valentine’s day. These ideas would also work for a Valentine’s party or baby shower. We needed some heart garland, of course, so I cut some out of paper with my […]
Fixing Clothes
I was busy all last week getting ready for Leah’s first birthday party which was supposed to have been on Saturday. Unfortunately my son was up sick the night before, so we had to postpone. I had a little extra time on my hands to fix some of my kid’s clothes that had been ruined. […]
Muslin Tooth Fairy Bags with Fairy Embroidery Pattern
Evan is about to lose his third tooth, so it’s time to start thinking about the tooth fairy again. You might remember, I already made him this bag last year. I shouldn’t have used acrylic felt (see my post about felt here) so it didn’t hold up very well. This time around, I decided to […]
Boy Birthday Crown and a Giveaway!
The boy version of my birthday crown is done! Just like my girl birthday crown, there are five interchangeable numbers, and it’s adjustable so your little boy can wear the same crown every year! It fits heads from 18 inches up to 21.5 inches around. I’m fresh out of baby boy models around here, so […]
Baby Owl Hat
As promised, here are some photos of the fleece hat that I made for Leah’s baby owl costume. You needed to see the whole picture, so I got her dressed back up in her owl costume this morning. (The Halloween night photos were all ugly with the bright flash.) I found a free pattern here […]

After much deliberation, I finally decided that Leah was going to be an owl for Halloween this year. I threw around lots of different ideas until I finally came up with this baby owl costume. Follow this tutorial to make your own! Doesn’t she look adorable?! She’s got fabric scalloped wings, scallops on her chest, […]
DIY Toto Dog
For Halloween this year, Audrey is going to be Dorothy. She’s actually wearing the same costume that my mom made for me when I was a little girl! Precious right?! As I was searching the Halloween store for some ruby slippers to go with her costume, I came across this little Toto in a basket. […]
Cute as a Button Baby Shower
My friend Lesley is due in about a month with her third baby. My friend Tara and I threw her a baby shower this weekend since it’s going to be her first girl. Girls are so much fun!!! I saw these pictures from a pin on pinterest and had to do a button theme! Check […]

I made a few adjustments to this birthday crown that I made for my niece, and now I am ready to show you how to make one yourself. All you need is felt, velcro, and thread and/or embroidery floss. Can you tell that I like felt a lot? The crown has interchangeable numbers and is […]

Superhero and Princess Cake Pops
The kid’s birthday party has come and gone. I can’t believe I have a five year old who will be starting kindergarten in a couple of weeks! While browsing around Pinterest for party ideas, I came across these superhero valentine lollipops with masks and capes. Then I just happened to come across this AWESOME video […]
Felt Superhero Mask Templates
Evan and Audrey’s birthdays are coming up, and since they are only a week apart, we just have combined parties for now. This year’s chosen theme is Superheroes and Princesses! I decided that the boys are going to get superhero masks, and the girls are going to get princess crowns that you can see here. […]
Car Seat Canopy
My sister is due any day now with her second baby girl. I decided that she needed a car seat canopy. So much better than just draping a blanket over the seat! I found this great little tutorial on creatively christy. FYI, you will need about a yard and 1/4 of the top fabric. I […]
DIY Baby Sling
I won’t have much time for crafting since my little baby girl, Leah, finally decided to make an appearance last week, but I wanted to show off what I made for her. I used a combination of the tutorial found here on Babymoon Boutique along with instructions found here on the Maya Wrap website to make […]
Puppet Theater
Every time my niece comes over to play, she makes us drape a blanket between the couches so the kids can put on a puppet show. I knew for Christmas that I needed to make her a puppet theater. I was originally going to make her one of those theaters that hang in a doorway, […]
Hexagon Baby Quilt
What better reason to craft than for a baby shower?! Here is my first attempt ever at making a baby quilt. I was feeling very purple the day I picked out the fabric. Hope the mother to be likes purple too. To make my hexagon baby quilt, I bought the following: 1/3 yard or one quilting […]
Easy Superhero Capes
Hello craft world! I am back. Finally feeling a bit inspired again. Here is a little something that got me in the mood to sew. Easy Superhero Capes! One of my kid’s favorite things to do is “fly” around the house. Blankets tied around their necks wasn’t cutting it anymore, so I took the leftover fabric […]
Free Quiet Book Patterns
I made this quiet book for my son, Evan, on his third birthday. I wanted something different from the average quiet book with zippers and buttons. I had a ton of felt left over from another project, so I made my book from that. I suggest making it out of something else if you plan on washing it. At […]
