Ghost footprints

I like to make keepsakes. So when I was decorating for Halloween I put my son in the highchair, painted his feet white and stamped them onto construction paper. After they dried I drew on some "spooky" faces and some "silly" faces to turn his upside down footprints into ghosts. Then I used them for decorations and cards.

What do you think?

Burp cloth tutorial

These burp cloths are super easy to make. I found the material at a yard sale and I bought the batting at Jo-Ann's with a coupon! For a free printable pattern and step by step directions go here.

With the scrap fabric I cut out a whale and sewed it on with a tight zig-zag stitch.

Dinosaur Nursery

Well, my family and I are in the midst of moving. So, I am just adding to the blog with old pictures of projects I have. When we get all settled in and I have time to work on new things I will have more updated posts.

This is the dinosaur nursery I made for my son in our old cinder-block apartment using what I had available (we were poor college students).

I painted three pictures: two dinosaur and one volcano. Mind you I have never painted anything for fun in my life and thought I would start a new hobby. I think they turned out pretty well. We also hung a picture of a waterfall that we took on our summer trip to Hawaii.

I was so frustrated that I could find the perfect material to make his bumper and blanket out of. So on our trip to Idaho my mom and I spent 4 hours searching stores to find the perfect fabric. We finally went to Wal-mart and there we found it!
