i've been a very busy crafter

lets see, where to start

i found a this pattern (http://www.poopockets.com/free/footies/footies.htm) for these adorable baby footies and so since i bought a bunch of fleece for super cheap on ebay i decided to whip up a few pairs, the first is quentin's (they are a light brown color), as modeled by his adorable little feet and the second pair is for a baby girl that is due in about a month, they are a light purple color



then i decided since i have all this fleece, and my digital camera case is such a plain black thing, why not make a cute pink and green one, so i did! (the green is a very pale green, so its hard to tell in the pictures... i just based the pattern for it off of how the case it came with is constructed)


alright
enough with the fleece, on to birthday gifts

my best gal wanted one of these triangle purses (as seen here, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=13316.0) so i decided to whip one up for her, the fabric is a canvas like black with pink and green dot print, the lining is icecream print) i was very pleased with how it turned out

and i also made her a vinyl heartshaped coin purse (as seen in the "bazaar bizarre" craft book) i have loads of this vinyl (lots of red, and some other colors) and i am going to try this out with a bunch of different shapes (if anyone has any requests let me know, im seriously thinking about possibly selling these)

and for my baby brother i made a messanger bag, this was a very involved project (but i had some help, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=36676.0) and i am definitely pleased with how well it came out



and last, but not least, i made this adorable pair of coveralls today for quentin, this is the cutest fabric, i just had to get it when i saw it at joanns. i didnt have a pattern or anything, so i kind of just had to wing it, but i think they turned out great. this is actually the first piece of clothing i have made, that didnt start as another piece of clothing.
