Prince and Princess

After this happened to Jocelyn's birthday crown


I was inspired by Cakies crowns to make my own. And then I thought Samuel needed one too. They only took about an hour and a half to make each one. (the crowns not the chef hats...I didn't make those though I should learn how).

They traded their chef hats (from pre-school lesson "C" for cooking and chef) for these:





Okay, so I am a nerd (and a horrible photographer) and I couldn't decide which picture to use so I chose both of these too.





and while I am at it....I'll share my other crafting ventures (hence the reason my dishes are never done, the house isnt' clean and dinner is not usually on the table in a healthy fashion) I've been busy crafting other things too.



Can you tell what the pink bag was before I embellished it? Or the recycled Izzy pop gift tag?
And the little crayon pouches were pretty simple to make too! Sammy is playing w/his drum (from pre-school). And the cupcakes were my failed attempt at taking pictures of one of my Etsy ideas (cupcake ribbon picks).

So I've had lots of failures (I am learning from them) and lots of creative ideas that I didn't think I had. I am loving this and can't stop thinking about it! Hence the insanity. I love the textures, colors and personalities of fabrics and ribbons. And all the possible combination's that create beautiful things! But life is going pretty well. Can't complain right now :)

  1. Holy cuteness! I love those chef hats! I might have to get you to give me a lesson or two in advanced sewing. Or I could just buy one from you. :)

  4. The crayon rolls are the best thing ever! We learned how to make those in enrichment and they are brilliant. Can't wait til I get to actually use mine, as all Austin does is suck on crayons. Keep up the good work! Success will come.

  7. Hannah, as far as the food co-op goes, I pick my food up at the Murray Park Church of Christ. It is right across the street from the entrance to Parkside Elementary at the Park. I love the produce and the meat and it is so inexpensive. I think today is the last day to order for February, so call them. You may be able to place a phone order tomorrow, too.

    Also, your are amazing. It all looks great!

  8. What fun you've been having with your kids and your sewing machine! Nice work! I love those crayon holders, I've seen them before and have thought of making them myself. I hope Sam enjoys preschool--a big step!

  9. Hannah...this doesn't relate to your post (although so cute!!!), I just wanted to tell you that my masters is in Accounting and Financial Management. I will be done by the end of the summer! It has been long and hard and I can only do two classes at a time (I started when Jackson was a tiny baby, so it will be 4 years when I'm finally done), but the program I use (university of maryland university college) is all online and they let you take tons of time off if you need to! Depending on what I do with my degree (if anything) I am considering trying to get more schooling from them, but we'll see.
