Sock Monkey Beanie

I made the adorable sock monkey beanie. I followed a pattern on youtube, the ears turned out a bit larger than I wanted. But I was pretty happy with the first beanie I have ever created!

Making a Mario Cake

My 9 yr old autistic son wanted to make a mario cake one day when he got home. I love the creation he came up with. You can do almost anything, with figurines.
All I used for the cake was a regular cake mix, and a plain white frosting. He decorated it with using a ziplock bag and cutting the tip off.

It was very tasty!

Rag Quilt

Looking for a way to use up your old flannel material? Make a rag quilt. I made this rag quilt for my baby, I  found many patterns online. But, I found it easiest to research it youtube. Just type how to make a rag quilt. I am pleased how this turned out.

I added his name to personalize it.

Little Girls No-Sew TuTu

I made this darling tutu for my niece, it was really simple and fun to make. 
Pink and Black TuTu

You can by tulle by the yard if you want or it comes in the spool by the ribbon.
The Supplies you will need is:
Tulle (of your desired color)
a elastic hairband
scissors
ribbon (optional for bow)

I alternated colors, all you do is not it around the large elastic headband and once done
trim to desired length. If you choose  
to buy it by the yard make sure you cut it into 3-4 inch width strips. Have
fun creating your tutu!
