Between all of my recent vacations, school, boys, and packing for our move this weekend, I found some free time to work on some sewing projects. 

I often check up on my favorite blogs, and found that I won the fabric giveaway from The Sewing Dork. I was thrilled and I'm excited to see what I can come up with when using them!

I love going through her tutorials because she has some amazingly easily, but fantastically cute ideas! So then I went through my fabrics and pulled out a linen and cotton and got to work. Here's what I came up with: 

A boys toddler backpack with a silly dog pattern and brown linen. 

After more browsing on The Sewing Dork's blog, I found a link to another brilliant person and came up with this one shortly after:

I am excited to say that I've tried making a boy's tie before that turned out absolutely horrible, but this time, I've done it!!

Thanks to my neighbor, Hobby Lobby, and Joann's, I have found some toddler and home decor patterns that I am dying to try out soon. 

So here's to more sweet projects!
