These are some of the bags I have made. I got the rag quilt bag idea from my sister's sister-in-law. She does great work rag quilt projects. She has a website which I have a link for on the side where she sells patterns and other things. I wouldn't have gotten the pattern in time to have the first bag I did done, so I told Jordan what I wanted it to look like and he did the measurements..what a good man!! This one I did for myself, it was the second one I've ever done and I decided to add pockets and I was excited about how it turned out!
Blankets
Towels, binki chains, bibs, and burp cloths
A Tutu
This I was excited about. I couldn't find any blinds to go in Ava's room so Idecided to make some. I have fabric for a curtain for the bathroom that I have had forever, but I got more excited to get Ava's room done first!! This is the first time I've done a curtain like this, I still have another one to do, it's not perfect, things I would change, but I think it turned out alright, I was happy about it anyway.
Our sand box
Now these I really had no time to try and figure out how to do. So when my mom came into town I put her to work on these. I am glad I did too, because I didn't realize how hard it would be to do the striped material, mine would have been nothing like these. She did such a great job, I have been excited about these since she got them done, it makes a a difference. They are the pillow cases that can slip on and off through the slips that over lap in the back, I was really impressed with my moms sewing skills, but I knew she could do them, that's why I saved them for her!!

I was really excited about my dressers as well. I got the idea from a girls blog also on the side of my blog called "Homemade by Jill" She has great ideas. I never thought to add paper decorative paper to the front, but I loved the idea. Then in the middle of my project I decided I better do it right the first time and decided to pain them as well, they look a million times better, I was super excited about how they turned out!!Before

Oh my gosh!! For anyone that just read the above comment from my SISTER, she is killing me. She does these awesome paint jobs in her kids rooms, paints canvases to match the themes, etc. You are killing me Michelle. As soon as me and Jordan are in a permanent home that we own, you and Nikki are coming over to do my decorating!!! Between my mom and my sisters I am the least creative!!
You are definitely better at sewing than me. My mom helped me make your blanket, so I can't take the credit. I hope you are feeling well! Miss you!
Chandra, how do you have time to do all these projects! You totally need to sell stuff on etsy.com...you're so crafty! I love the dressers too! You're awesome!
Wow, Chandra never in my college life would I expect to see you doing all these crafts and projects. You're amazing. I hope all is well. good luck with everything.
