Lots of little projects

So I've been M.I.A. on the blog scene all week. It's been a crazy string of projects and happenings. I've been tying up loose ends and marking things off my list. I started off the week with this:


Henry had a shirt that he didn't wear anymore. I have been reading a few blogs, thanks to a crafty friend who keeps pointing them out, and decided to take a chance on this shirt. Now, I don't have a good picture of the finished product yet, but I made it into this shirt dress:


I will post a better picture when I have a belt for it and am wearing it. I cut some of the shirt off to create a tapered effect since I'm going to cinch the waist anyway. Who wants all that excess fabric hanging out around their waist?

I also made this sleepsack for Kinsley. I got the fabric in the remnant bin, and it was just enough to make it.



Since my niece's first birthday is coming up, I whipped up a shirt for her to wear on the big day. It will go with the tutu that I made her last week. I also made her a birthday banner like Kinsley's.



I have also been wanting to try making a burp cloth, so I made this one for my pediatrician. I love the keepsake factor with this design.



Jonas has a birthday coming up so I made his invitations so I could put them in the mail. I love the way they came out. I'm putting copies on my Etsy site.



In addition, I also helped a friend with one of her projects, and I have another nearly finished project that I started working on with my crafty friend who shares all the blogs. I will post pics of that one as well when it's finished. I didn't have the material I needed at the time, but I found some stuff that will work in my scrap pile so it's on! I also participated in an Expo at Henry's office that showcased home businesses of some of the ladies. It was alot of fun and I got some great feedback on my stuff. :) If you want to see other past projects, you can visit my Etsy store ClaireBearBaby. Feel free to buy something while you're there. ;) So there you have it, all the stuff I did last week.
