Girl Curtains

Another project that was way overdue was the curtains in Kyla's room. I bought the fabric back in November!! I totally love how they turned out and I lined them with blackout fabric, so they block out a lot of light....totally going to be awesome with the sun staying out past bedtime now :)

That's a fun shelf up there I get to put some fun stuff on...

Girl's Rag Quilt

I saw a super cute rag quilt at a craft show last October and wanted one for Kyla's room, but they were for babies and I needed a twin size, plus I would have tried to make my own anyway, right? So I looked and looked for fabric....and finally in January found exactly what I wanted. Then I scribbled out a pattern of a bunch of scrap papers. I started putting the blocks together right away (back in January)....then I set it aside and finally got my act together this past weekend and finished it! I totally love how it turned out!!!

Here's a little closer shot of the squares:

My New Diaper Bag!

I finally got this done! I found the tutorial for this "Hip" Diaper bag on A Mingled Yarn and put it on my list of things I want to do. I loved the look of it, found some fabric I liked and loved that I could customize the pockets how I wanted. Whew....it took me several afternoons working on it, but I was pretty proud when my husband looked at the finished product and said "You made that? I'm impressed!" :)

So here are a few pictures:


Pockets are all around the outside: 2 in front, 1 on each side and a large zipper pocket in the back

The inside has lots of pockets, too!

I am excited to use my new bag....:)
