Makin' Stuff Sew Cute

Did you get your Front Porch Kit yet?
Well, you should... here is,
yet another, project I made from my kit

 It comes with an adorable chip board dress form...
 darling, huh?
I tore up the vintage dress pattern and
Modge Podged it onto the chipboard.
(I will be doing this again- the pattern looked so neat layerd this way!)
I threaded the black cording with a tad of wire,
so I could shape it how I wanted.
It made a great hanger for my inspirational decor.
The I started layering...
I loved how the turquoise vintage button
 looks with the yellow tulle trim.
I painted on of the wooden buttons and
I am pretty sure I used every bit of the measuring tape...
and it comes with a lot!
As a matter of fact... all the trim in this kit is amazing!!


I chose the words "Make Stuff" because
when I am in The No-No Room and
 my kids ask me "What Cha' Doing Mommy?" 
 I always say, "Makin' Stuff!" 
 And I am known for asking them...
"Wanna Make Stuff?"

Now I am asking you... Wanna Make Stuff?
Head over to The Little BlueHouse and your kit!!

She's Crafty

I made a fun layout of Adelyn and all her craftiness
 with my "Sew Artsy" Kit.
 The kit comes with a nice, sturdy, piece of linen type paper
 that I ran through my printer for my journaling.
 It was nice to reflect on passing down the "creative gene".
 I just loved adding all the pretty trim...
makes my page look girly and artsy!
 I had so many wonderful pictures of
 Adelyn doing all her crafts and art...
 from dying eggs to painting marshmallows to seasonal crafts!
 And would you believe there is even a sticker
 in the kit with a "Creative Clutter" quote!!
 Also, notice the vintage buttons and lace...
so many great vintage pieces in this kit!
Head over HERE and get you one!

"Sew" Darling Photo Pocket

Now, that I caught your attention
with all the fun sneak peeks...
let me share what I made
with my Front Porch "Sew Artsy" Kit....


The came with lots of beautiful vintage style fabric.
I was thrill when I saw it because
it matched Adelyn's bedroom perfectly.
I have also been working a
whimsical gallery wall for her room...

I used the fabric, trim, and "Hattie" hoop to
make this cute photo pocket.
I love that it has so many fun textures
 and it is functional,
 as we have already added a photo
and her ticket stubs from Elmo Live.

In a nut shell... I painted "Hattie Hoop" and
 began stretching fabric and trim to fit,


I used a simple slip stitch to gather the black fabric
 for even more dimension.
And made one of my favorite fabric flowers
 out of some of the green fabric
and backed it with lace.
The "Addy" tag was colored with glimmer mist
and then stamped with her name.
My favorite party of the project is this chipboard covered monogram.
First, I used a little iron on stiffener to help trace and cut out the letter,
then hand stitched the border befor hot gluing it on to a piece of chipboard.

Just look at all this fun stuff that comes in the "Sew Artsy" Kit....
 paper, fabric, trims, buttons, lace, zippers, rub ons,
 "Hattie" the hoop. vintage embellishments
and an entire vintage pattern, canvas tags,
 stickers, wooden spools.... and more!
we could say its a crafty girls  "Jack Pot"

 and order your "Sew Artys" kit. 
While you are there check out the inspiration gallery...
 let me tell you there just can't be a more talented group
 of designers out there- AMAZING!
