I Love RAG QUILTS!!

Sorry I've been away for soooo long.  Life just gets in the way of blogging!  I admire the women who can work full-time, have children and still blog full-time...I don't see how you all have enough hours in the day!  Anywho....so I'm back for the summer!

So I made my first Rag Quilt HERE.  I loved, loved, how it turned out!!  So when my friend at work had a baby boy...I knew I wanted to make him one too!  He had mentioned to me one time that he wanted to do the baby's room in blue toile...so that was my inspiration for the fabric.  One side is cotton and one side is flannel.

The pictures don't do it justice...it was late at night and did not have good lighting...but the Daddy loved it and that's all that matters!

Supplies for blanket - around $20

Time to make - 4 hours

Having Daddy say 'he's going to cry' = Pricele$$

OMG! It Shouldn't Have Taken Me SOOO Long - DIY Camera Strap

Ok, so I was going to do a tutorial over how to make your own camera strap UNTIL I made mine and made so many mistakes!!  It took me for.ev.er!  I think I did everything twice and did it the hard way - both times!! 

 But in the end - I.love.it!

You can go HERE and see a great tutorial on how to make the basic camera strap.  I added the ruffle to mine - just because!

nice t-shirt! ha!

I did the brown fabric as the basic camera strap...

then added the green, coordinating fabric for the ruffle.

The brown ribbon hid all the sewing stitches (there were many!!)

Turned out soooo cute!

I absolutely LOVE it!

I can't wait to show you what I'm working on next!!

luv.luv.luv. it!

Supplies to make strap - about 1/2 yard total of fabric that I got for $1.50/yard - 75 cents

Less than a yard of ribbon that I got 5 yds. for $1 - 20 cents

So, alomost $1

About 4 hours - caused a little insanity! (should had taken 2 hours at the most)

Making a camera strap that no one else has - Pricele$$

Sneak peak at what I'm working on next
