Fabric Flower Hair Clip

For church I had bought my daughter a cute little red and white dress. (I'll put it on later.) I was looking at the hair accessories she had and wanted something different than the flower I usually use. I decided to raid my fabric stash and found a fat quarter of this fabric. It was a perfect match so I cut a 3 inch strip, folded it in half and ironed it, did a gather stitch on the raw side, pulled it in so that it gathered and glued it into a circle. Then I added a decorative button.
On the other side I cut out a circle in fleece and cut two little slits in it. then I glued that to the bottom of the flower and added a lined alligator clip through the two slits.

It turned out so cute. What's funny is that when we got to church we found that one of Caelan's friends had the SAME dress on. Now the mom wants a clip like I made and I just might have to make one for her so that the girls can match.

Crochet Mary Jane Baby Slippers

I have been wanting to make crocheted baby slippers and found this tutorial on YouTube. Here is the pattern instructions here. I was so excited to try it out. I think they turned out SO cute. I think the pictures don't do them justice. They are so tiny too. They are definitely infant size.

Little Man Tie

I have been looking for a pattern and tutorial for a little man's tie and I found a really easy one here. It is done by M & A. Thanks so much for this easy tie to make. I think it turned out so cute. To bad the shirt I made the tie to go with is now too small. Oh well. I'll have to buy a new shirt now. Darn. I can't wait to make some more.
