Easter bunny on the beach


All though it would have been nice to get pics of this cute bunny barrette up before Easter, it did not work out that way. I will try to do better next holiday. PROMISE!

Oh yeah! The ears are large & in charge because I originally planned on making them "flop" but changed my mind once I got to work. I liked them better how they ended up.


I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Now back to reality for my beach loving family!

Stripes with a great cause


A couple months ago I saw this adorable zebra that an old friend of mine had made & put on her blog. I just had to make one! It took a lot longer than I expected but I am sure, now that I have worked out all the "kinks," it will not take as long when I try another one. I am very happy with how it turned out. It was worth all the time. (It only took a week & I only worked on it a little a day. After reading what I typed it sounded like it took months. HA!) Baby cakes loves her zebra & it makes me happy when she remembers that I made it for her.

Look at this cute tail. Love the bow.

My friend, "Cookie," is sells these & other animals at her Etsy shop. Right now she is giving 100% of her Easter Bunny sales to help one of her worship leaders at church as she ministers to her family living near the nuclear power plant in Japan. These people have experienced more than I can even imagine. Some have lost everything, including loved ones.
Are you like me? Wondering what you can do to help, other than send money. The sleepy time gal has a GREAT idea. (Thanks for the info Cookie) She is having "friends" send boxes of everyday things. Baby cakes & I are getting a box together today. I encourage you to do the same & to keep the Japanese people in your prayers.

sweet & simple


Baby cakes has been choosing to wear a lot of pink lately. Well, except the day she tried starting a baby goth trend by wearing all black. She has also been wanting to wear this clip, which is actually the first felt barrette I made. After getting a couple compliments I thought maybe I should share this with all of you. I do plan on making posts on projects other than barrettes but not until I get barrettes out of my system. ;-)

I "threw" the below barrettes together for a couple more examples. I love these. They remind me of little sleeping bags for barrettes.


Baby cakes is wearing the pink one as I type. I really need to remember to put my things out of her reach. She is all about matching these days and after getting dressed yesterday she ran to my box of made barrettes & found one that matched her dress. How can I say no when she says "PLEEEEASE?"

Okay. I am off to make more barrettes. HAPPY FRIDAY EVE EVERYONE!!
