Tutorial to make a Kindle Cover

Do you know anyone that has a Kindle?  well, I do know someone (not me, darn!)....and i happened to run across a tutorial to make a cute Kindle cover!  HERE it is....

Quick projects tonight!

I went out shopping earlier in the evening while Daddy took the girls to the mall to play in their play area.  I found these pre-cut black and white letters on clearance for $3.  My 2 middle girls - the Athlete and the Underdog currently share a room and have decided on a black & white theme paired with the solid colors of their choice.  So....I've been on the lookout for decor on the cheap!

I purchased a foam board and used scrapbook paper I had on  hand.  Throw in a little modge-podge and there you have it!  Name plaques for their room.....

I think they are cute and will add a personal touch - still have lots to make for them though!

Dinosaur Shirt

Well...my little Dinosaur Girl wanted a Dinosaur Shirt.  We went looking and all we could find was ferocious, meat-eating dino shirts.  I wanted a little girl dino shirt.....so here's what I came up with - 

We had the white tank top, I traced a felt dino we have onto some pretty pink fabric, ironed some medium-weight interfacing to it, then machine stitched around it (a fancy stitch, don't know it's name).  I used a couple different ribbons to make a bow and sewed it on her pretty dino head, then sewed on a black bead for the eye.

Dino girl LOVES it....and it matches her pink pants!
