Knitting poncho for dolls

Georgia and Chelsea will each be getting a new poncho tonight for their American Girl dolls.  What do you think?  I was originally going to make a single crochet chain loop for a decorative button to add a little something special to the poncho.  When I discovered that my "Bucket of Buttons" is still at the old house, I decided to make a quick single crochet chain tie. 

Here's the pattern if you'd like to try this simple pattern yourself.  It's very easy.

Hair accessories: FABRIC FLOWER BROOCH

Gosh, what a blogging marathon I seem to be having today! But I just made this as a little extra xmas pressie for a special friend (I am not saying who, that would ruin the surprise!), and I thought I'd share how easy they are to make.



What you need: Two fabric circles, one big and one small. (I used a cereal bowl as a template for the bigger one and a large mug for the smaller, but you could make them as big or small as you like.) • needle and thread • button • some ribbon • a safety pin.

1. Sew basting stitches all around the edge of the circle, and pull tight. Flatten. Repeat for the 2nd circle.
2. Place the smaller circle on top of the larger one and secure in place with a few stitches.
3. Fold some ribbon to look like leaves, and stitch it to the back of the brooch.
4. Stitch a button in the middle at the front and add a safety pin to the back.

homemade cards ideas: Making flower cards

This project was born out of pure necessity. I’ve been pressing flowers all season long, tucking them into little books on my bookshelf. Honestly, I was pretty proud of myself, as pressing flowers is the kind of thing one loves but never remembers to do. But here’s the catch- I know I stashed dozens of Queen Anne’s lace blooms away, but I’ll be darned if I can’t remember which of my hundreds of books I used to press them. With my new flower press, I’m putting an end to this silliness so I can find my flowers when I want them!
