When I started this blog I thought it would be all about my weight loss...but it's morphed into more about me and my life of which weight loss & gain are a big part of that. You are going to start finding lots of projects, recipes and anything else that I find worthy of talking about on here. :) Enjoy! And please always feel free to comment & share with your friends!
I have been trying to take on some of my Pinterest projects lately..... Because let's face it, we could pin and pin until we turn purple! :) I love Pinterest, the idea that we can keep all of our ideas in one place and categorize them.... Finally! LOL
So my nephew just had his first birthday and my sister said that she was going to do a "monster theme" for it. Right after her and I talked about this I came across the cutest pattern (on Pinterest of course) for little monsters. So of course I just had to make them!! The easiest project I have come across yet and they turned out soooo stinkin' cute!! All it takes is some time, felt, thread & stuffing. I bought the the small sheets of felt that you can get at Michaels or even Walmart for .25 each. It was perfect!!
I did sew the faces on primarily by hand. I started to do it with the sewing machine and I am just not good enough yet to make that look good. :) It's a working progress....one day I'll be that good! Until then, I can do it by hand. Slow and steady wins the race...right?
I was so excited about them that I sent a pic to my sister. I was just going to surprise her and mail them, but I couldn't wait any longer. Needless to say it sounds like they will be a hit and she loves them! I am sure my nephew will love them just as much! He's 1,
how can he not?
As you can see I did the fronts and backs of each different colors to really give it that "monster" feel.
You can find the pattern here.
Happy Crafting!
