staying busy...

I have done a few projects around the house to keep busy, and because i just liked them and thought they would add a little to our apartment. Here are a few...

I saw the idea for a Alphabet wall on someone's blog and thought it was such a good idea for a childs room. I changed it to what i wanted, and decorated them all different so the letters would catch Blake's interest. I made this before i found out i was having a girl, but at the time i didn't know so i made sure to make it gender neutral, and luckily i did!
When i had blake i had the hardest time finding crib bedding that i liked so i decided to just make some! It was quite the task since i don't sew very often but it was fun! I finished the bumper and the bed skirt a long time ago, but just recently finished the quilt. Its been put together i just was waiting for it to be quilted and then i had a good friend teach me to bind it. The binding was super intimidating but when i finally started doing it, it was so easy! and actually kind of fun!
Here is a close up of the fabric i used.
Here is my Halloween Trick-or-Treat banner!!! When i finished it was my very first halloween decoration up. I saw something similar on potterybarn's halloween decor and thought it was so cute but slightly over priced:) so i decided to just make one it didn't look too hard and it wasn't! I called a few friends to see if they wanted to do them with me and they did. We each did a banner but all of them are decorated differently to our own personal taste. They all turned out so cute and it was so fun to do with everyone!
