Some awesome homemade playdough. Makes a fun gift given with an apron. After scouring the internet, and finding tons of recipes for the stuff, inclunding the one I've used for the past few years- I decided to make my own version. Turned out great!

Rubber stamp carving is so much fun! Even if you forget to reverse the letters and have to do a whole new one! Even with my error, I still have 4 more erasers to use to make stamps, but can't think of what images I'd like to do. I really like this craft though, I may try other carving crafts.

Tried out some different inks for making tags. Some were great, some not so great. Tags are a must for little girls trying to figure out where the back of a piece of clothing is. I'm glad I was able to make more diaper size tags too- ran out of mediums recently.

Another child sized apron from the unfinished bin. Just a few aprons left!

New lampshade. I may even decopage the lamp base. Some little girl took the last lamp because it was so much cuter than this plain white one with plain white shade. The purple fabric is hand-dyed- I LOVE it! The strips in between are scraps left from a recent wristlet I made as a gift.

2 more bibs. I started with a stack of 30 cut out. They are my go-to project when I have just 2 minutes to spare. I cannot figure out how to get my scanned pdf file to post on the blog. I'd love help.

This may just look like a square of flannel with some ribbons sticking out of it. But, you should hear it! Really, I used some inner packaging clear wrapper stuff, cut it, pinned it and sewed it. Crinkly! Crunchy! Washable!
