Tooth fairy pillow

Tooth fairy pillow, originally uploaded by pearljamfanatic.

This time I finished the tooth fairy pillow *before* the tooth fell out. The girl is now prepared for her first tooth loss. I made this out of scraps and my imagination. She loves it!

A couple of years ago I bought way too many snaps from the Snap Source (love them!). I have more snaps than I know what to do with. So whenever I find a cute and easy project that involves using up some of my snap stash, I'm all for it!

Last night I was cruising the sewing and craft blogs and came across this cute needle book tutorial. I had the perfect fat quarter of some Japanese canvas Little Red Riding Hood fabric that I knew would be great for this.

I love the way it turned out, even if I did have to decide to close it the opposite way of the tutorial. That'll teach me to not pay attention to the direction of the fabric pattern when I'm cutting something out. Next time I'll be on the ball, I swear.



Here is my first version, because I'm definitely making more of these, the Little Letter Needle Book:

Mushrooms!

My kids want a Super Mario Brothers themed birthday party this year, so I made these to surprise them. Unfortunately, the girl spied me uploading pictures so she already knows about them. She promised to keep them a secret...we'll see!

WolfDreamer off the Hook offers this free pattern on her site as well as a few other Super Mario inspired crochet creations!

Moda Uptown Pillows

These are a few of the pillows I made to sell at Zakka Craft a couple of months ago. I loved the way they turned out with these fabrics. If you look closely you can see the elusive paint by number birds in it. I had no idea how sought after that fabric is until I went to try and buy more of it! I love it and it seems I'm not the only one. It's funny that I bought the entire line in fat quarters on clearance a long time ago. Lucky break!
