blanket

I've been Sick and at home all week, so I decided to sew a little blankey for baby. I'm a sucker for cute puppy prints.

Carseat Cannopy

When I found out I was pregnant I wanted to sew something fun to prepare. I looked up a tutorial for a carseat canopy. The tutorial at Make it Do was easy to follow and it turned out great!

I already had this fabric, and at first thought it would work great for either boy or girl, but now it looks a little girly so if I find out I'm having a boy I'll have to go for round two of making this.

Underneath is Green Polka Dot and the edges have the red fabric. Love these Amy Butler fabrics.

The view when you flip up to get in the carseat.

TOTES BY HANDI ANDI! GET YOURS TODAY!

CUTE, DURABLE, LARGE Totes. Reusable. Great for the farmers market, library, or the beach. A perfect way to take style and flare with you.

Dimensions: 16 inches wide, 15 inches tall, the strap is 32 inches from side to side and the pocket is 8 inches by 8 inches

They are made from trendy, printed, duck cloth (light-weight canvas) and have triple stitched sides and bottoms to make them extra durable. The ruffles and ribbon add a fun, feminine, flare that makes it more than just an ordinary tote.

The Tote can be worn on one shoulder or across your body for hand free ease, and feature a large, easily accessible, pocket for smaller items such as keys and phone. 

 MY FAVORITE ONE

When not in use the pocket can be turned inside out and the bag will fold into it so it is more compact and can fit in a purse or diaper bag with ease.

VISIT HANDI ANDI'S ETSY SHOP

They are listed for $22, but if you email her and let her know twinklebee sent you she will sell them to you for $12 plus shipping.  Also check out the HANDI ANDI'S APRONS in the Etsy shop as well...

Burp Cloths for a new baby

I sent these burp cloths to my friend Allison. She had her first little baby, and as a thank you for letting me visit I whipped up these for the little guy. Any excuse to craft!

Wipey Case

Remember my crafty friend Ally Kat that was mentioned in a previous post? She made this wipey case cover from a tutorial. How cute is that?!?!

A "Price"- y Birthday Extravaganza

The Price Family had a birthday. Not just one birthday but 5 birthdays. Cohen turned 4 on March 8, Mama Price (Andi) March 18- will not divulge age- (You're welcome mama price) Caden turned 7 on March 19th, and the twins turn 1 on April 5th. And I couldn't leave Kenna out so she got some of the goodness as well. Talk about a cluster!

So a package must be sent!

A gift for Mama Price- who is beautiful and has the tough task of raising 5 kids ages 1 to 7. And might I add does a great job. You go girl! P.s. It was hard to part with these earrings- Soooo my style- hopefully hers...

For the twins- made in the twinklebee lair :)

The rest of the kiddos got random toys from princess slap bracelets and puzzles, to a whoopie cushion, ninja figurines, and of course Pop Rocks for some fun times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDI ANDI and the Gang!

Hung by the fireplace with Care.

I have been busy as a bee. Auntie Mary and I made stockings on a Saturday craft day. She had already made 2 for us a few years ago.

The two Auntie Mary made for us a few years ago:


We decided we needed to go ahead and make more while we had time so I could have a full set. We made 4 more in one day.

A closer look-
"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree..."

Rudolph- My personal FAVE-

Mr. Frosty- He even has button mittins--

Can't do Christmas without candy canes and holly.

2 Green, 2 Gold, 2 Red, we have a full set as long as we don't have quintuplets one day.

The Zoo QB Page

I love this page!
Welcome to the Zoo! Unzip this page, and you find a purple lined pocket full of...

Zoo animal finger puppets! I got these puppets at Ikea for a few bucks. They tuck neatly inside.

The back cover or "THE END". That is all for now. I have some ideas, but the book is getting huge :)

What Page is your favorite?

Ladybug, Ladybug...QB Page

My favorite page-

Ladybut Ladybug fly away home...
This page has snap on shapes. the "spots" or shapes on the lady bug are removable and there is stitching under each shape. It becomes like a puzzle, and teaches kids their shapes (well four of them anyway) as well as how to use snaps.

Flower Garden QB page

Welcome to the Flower Garden quiet book page. This page teaches kids how to button and unbutton. The cloud, flowers, and sun all unbutton off the page. Even the ladybug and butterfly are buttons. One of my favorite pages...

Pelican Gone Fishin' QB Page

This page teaches kids how to use hooks as they go fishing with Mr. Pelican.

Liberty Flag QB page

Have to teach kids about Patriotism right? This one is a texture page. As this page gets washed it will become raggedy around the edges and on the stripes. Which One's your favorite so far?

Lion QB Page

This cute lion teaches kids how to braid on his soft tail. He looks like a cowardly lion :) Aunt Mary sewed this page for me.

Fishbowl QB Page

The fishies have magnets on them so they cam move around the fish bowl.

I've been asked if there is a pattern. The actual page comes from a vogue pattern from the 1970s. A couple couple of the animal pages are from the patterns but the rest are pages we made up. This fishy page I saw in someone else quiet book- a little different.
