Mini Tutu and head band

My friend was on facebook asking around for people who made tuts.  Of course a dear friend of mine mentioned me. This was to fun to create. It looks a lot like the one I made my niece for Christmas but this one is more glittery. It was mini themed so I saw this bow at the craft store and made her a matching head band with it. I am in love with tutus and I that me and my husband have a daughter one day. 

Owl Beanie I made for my niece

This is my first character beanie. This was so much fun to make. I can not wait to make more. It took 3 tries, for some reason I had two way different types of yarn so that made it harder and had to adjust my row count for all the pink. :/ I am slowly learning :)

Christmas presents

These are the presents I made for my two nephews and my 3 nieces this year. They all loved them when they saw them Christmas morning. I love smiling faces. 

This first one was for the oldest Emmy. My sister could not believe I made it. My first purse ever. I think I did pretty well on it. 

This one was for the youngest Alison. She did not get to come this year for Christmas but I bet she will love it. 

This was for my little Diva Destiny. She would not take it off the rest of the day. I am so glad I chose to make this for her. 

Both boys Marc and Elijah recieved football beanies, bigger than this one. I have no idea what happened to the picture of the ones I made for them. 

My Pinterest project

Just a note. I never make the projects I find on any website the exact same as they do. I always find ways to change it to my liking and/or find easier ways to do something. I love, love, love this project and since I am living with my parents until my solider returns I figured this would help me out a bunch. 

This is where I got the idea from

There are a few tweaks I would like to make to mine, but so because I am trying to get a routine down for myself for the next 7 months or longer.

Here is mine:

I used press board from Lowes for the back. Cardboard I have around the house for the baskets, a can for the pencil holder and other things I already had around the house. 

I even have my solider's picture on it so every time I place something on my board I see him :).
