Remember

Before Christmas I went to Ikea and searched through the "as is" section of IKEA and found some awesome boards (they are actually returned cabinet doors and drawer fronts. I went once with my cousin and then I couldn't get it out of my head so I begged Josh to go with me again and we made an outing of it. I hung up this board above my door and put a sticky on it with the word "Remember" on it. Lastnight I finally got around to ordering the vinyl and I made it today. I love it so much. I can't stop staring at it. There are so many meanings behind the word too. One is that everytime I leave the house I always forget something and am always coming back in to retrieve another item. But of course the most significant meaning is that the word "Remember" appears in the scriptures so many times. If we really "remembered" it would keep us out of a lot of trouble. I'm so glad to have this sign up above my front door to keep me in constant remembrance. Thanks Jen for the incredible vinyl!

CTR blocks

When we first doing vinyl my friend had her huband cut up this board that she had and we sanded the blocks and painted them white but then we ended up switching over to using 2x4s so these blocks were left undone. I was thinking about them the other day and came up with this idea. The paper squares and letters are precut from paper. I have stacks of them. I love how it turned out. They will be great to use for baptism gifts and will make a great project for my Activity Day girls.

wear your heart on your hat

I crocheted this heart the other day and didn't know what to do with it so I sewed it onto a hat I'd already made. Thought it turned out really cute!

L o v e

These were mostly made by my friend. We were supposed to work on this project together but due to her kids being ill I didn't go over and help much. All I actually did was apply the vinyl letters which is the fun part. She's kind of obsessed with making them and has plans for many other projects throughout the coming year. She made J O Y blocks for Christmas and they were super cute.

I have them all wrapped up in gift bags I had on hand and I made these Valentine's cards on Sunday evening. I found these heart cards in my box of Valentine decorations. I found cute Mary Englebreit images from an old page a day calendar and matted them with cardstock and glued them on the cards with a glue stick. Now I just need to get them all delivered so my friends can display them for a bit before the big day is here!

baby "uggs"

I crocheted these yesterday and think that they are absolutely adorable. I can't wait to make another pair in pink of course. I have a pair of fake uggs that I got a year ago for Christmas and love wearing them on chilly days. Supposedly they are size 12 - 18 mths so now I've just got to track one down to try them on and see how they work.

Custom Cell Phone Case

Made this yesterday to fit my friend's slide phone. It's just a bit smaller than my phone. It'll be her birthday present.

Mom & Daughter Cloche Sets

I already had two adult sizes crocheted and got an order for two children hats to match. It's a bit of a challenge to figure out how to adjust the size of the hat for different ages but they ended up in the recommended ranges on a chart I have so I think they will fit.
I gave away a couple of mother/daughter sets for Christmas but unfortunately didn't get pictures of them but I love how they turned out.
