The Cuteness Continued!

So I'm back with more of my makings. I can only post half of the things Jason and I made for Christmas because some of the people haven't gotten their presents yet...but once they do...oh, there will be pictures.

But here is a checker board that Jason made (and I painted). We were very proud of the results.
















We made cute little wood nubbins as the checkers pieces. It looked pretty rustic. If I find a better picture (or if someone takes and posts a better picture on their blog...hint, hint!) I'll post it later.

So that was a fun little project.


Ok, so I still don't have pictures of everything, or can't post pictures yet, but here's a little tradition that Jason and I started for Christmas. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
































PUMPKIN SPICE DOUGHNUTS!!!!!!! They are sooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy! Ok, I know its not a craft, but I sure did make them. They tasted just like the cake doughnuts you get in the store. The glaze was sure easy to make, too.

Ok, that's all for now.

My Various Cuteness I've Made

I have had A LOT of time on my hands lately. So I have explored avenues and have started to craft like nobody's business. I don't have all the pictures on this computer, but I will upload the ones I can for now.

So a friend of mine really wanted me to make her a bag for her laptop. And a pouch for accessories. Now, I have made my fair share of bags, but I do not feel like my sewing skills are up to par to sew a bag. So I decided to crochet the bag. My favorite thing to do with crocheted bags is to line them with a fabric so there is no stretch when you have it slung over your shoulder. BUT how do I make an extra pouch for accessories...well, this is what I came up with:














Notice the fun fabric I used to line the shoulder strap...it's basically my favorite!




































These two pictures show the inside pockets I designed. They are separate slots for her computer and for accessories.

































And an inside out shot.

Ok, now if I haven't killed this project with enough pictures... but I still think it's super cute!!!

So, now I have to switch computers to get the other crafty pictures...so there will be more to this post.
