Stuff I Made

So I haven't posted anything in a few months, but I have been sewing some stuff. First, here are 14 memory bears I made for Preston's nieces and nephews out of his dad's shirts. They are similar to the ones Grandma and Aunt Laura made for us, but not nearly as cute.

I also made this family photo matching game out of wooden tiles for some young nieces and nephews.Then I made a little drawstring bag to store them in.I also embroidered this thing and made it into a pillow for Preston's brother and his family. Hand embroidery is something I actually enjoy doing, but I usually frame it.I just had to use this cool nautical themed fabric.You may think all this sewing means I've really grown to love it. That would be wrong. Many a seam was ripped in the making of all these things and many a thought of throwing my sewing machine out the window was entertained. Just wanted to make that clear.

That fabric IS super cute! Good job on a multitude of things.

Well aren't we crafty.

I need to find me some sort of craft I actually enjoy doing as well, but it must be an imaginary craft or something, because I'm not finding it.

They all look great. The family photo game looks like a wonderful idea. And good job on all the bears! I'm still planning on making one more from Grandpa's shirt--for me.
