Friday's Fabulous finds {for boys} week 3

Look at these adorable Retro Baby Sneakers Sewing Pattern on Etsy that rocks!  I love the style of these shoes.  They're from a shop called Sweet Pea Pattern.

Link to these shoes here.

Check out this loafer pattern she has too!  Link here.

Next I found this adorable soft, truck plush toy!  Erin over at Lemon Tree Creations takes you through how to make one!

Last is an older post but it's the neatest variation on Jill's (as in Homemade by Jill) Car Caddy.  Sarah at Create Studio added some slots for crayons & a small notepad to draw/color on.  I picture myself actually being able to get through a shopping trip in peace while my 2 year old calmly colors or plays with cars- ahh.

Happy Friday!

Guest Posting over at {In Between Laundry}

Hey guys, today I'm guest posting over at

In Between Laundry

 

come check out my cool tutorial on how to make a

Shutter Pal

Easy Totebag {for less than $5!} from repurposed pants!

Repurposing old, hole-y (not holy!) jeans into fun little totes perfect for books or teddy bears!

For help with boxing corners see here.

This is a simple bag that really doesn't require much additional fabric aside from the old jeans.

Add a couple more details like a lining & freezer stenciling and you can have a bag like this.  Notice the bow tie- I thought it's be a neat touch but it ended up looking a little too girlie!  I was trying to hide a little fabric paint that went astray!

This tutorial is coming soon.

 

Baby Shower Gift {Rock Star Style}

So if you loved my first version of the baby gift I was designing for my sister to give to a friend.  Then you are going to really LOVE the newest version.  The first post that you can find here was my trial run.  I changed a few things and added some cute details and I give you:

The Rock Star Baby Gift

Hand Stamped Baby Shower Gift

My sister has put me to work coming up with a cute baby boy shower gift for her friend.  So, wanting to use some of these adorable boy themed stamps I got a great deal on the other day this is what I came up with:

First of all let me say, I love cute hooded towels.  So, when I saw these cute monster towels I had to share.  Traci over at The Monson Family not only shares this tutorial but is giving one away!  (PS you can also purchase one from her if you don't win)

Look at this awesome Train Caddy!  Katie over at Hippos & Dinosaurs has so kindly done a tutorial (here) so you can make one too (and believe me I will be!).  When my 2 year old saw this picture he immediately wanted one!
