Stuffed Octopus

As promised, here are pictures of the octopus I made for Wade. I was planning on finishing him awhile ago, but just barely got around to it today. I almost didn't finish him because I really hated him for awhile there. I finally took a seam ripper to his face and started all over on that, and am now very happy with how he turned out!

Wade loves him!

I used a this tutorial I found over at Moda Bake Shop (one of my new favorite sites!). It's the perfect scrap busting project.

Nursery Banner

Hayley should really be the one to post this since she is the creative genius behind this cuteness, but I shall post it for her. She made this banner for Lindsay for Christmas and made a matching one for mom's craft room. All very cute, all very fine stitching details, and I may not have mentioned this, but all too cute!

LuLu's Snappy Shirt

While Hay-Bop was home for the holidays we girls ventured out to Material Girls. I found a pattern that was destined for Lindsay called "The LuLu Dress." How could I resist? Well, Hayley told me to save my $10 because she saw a free tutorial online for the exact same thing. And with the help of Shelly's amazing sewing machine, I was able to make this! Doesn't she just love her amazingly crafty mommy? And don't you just love her new pink, furry boots?
