CD Jewel Case Covers

It has been too long since I posted! It has been too long since I crafted! I always have a long list of things that I want to try. Unfortunately, many of these are put aside for the more demanding things in life.  After a crafting dry spell, not for lack of projects, or creativity, I am back!

When my photographer girlfriend asked me if I could make these for her, I said "Heck, Yes!" What she and I didn't know at the time was how long it would take me... To find the time, not to actually perform the task!
So, after three weeks of family visits, working way too much, walking a 5k with my mom, sisters, nephew, nieces, daughter and grand-children... I am BACK!

This was my first craft of the new year, and I am stoked!

These were fairly easy, and I cannot wait to do more! These were a special request, and I didn't have time to take lots of pics, so I don't have directions, but I might post them next time I make them. If you need directions sooner, email me! KraftyKlaudia@gmail.com

Here is the finished project. I hope my friend Leah at Leah Grace Photography is as excited as I am!

Burlap, Velcro, Paper, Buttons! DONE!

Baby Blanket

My new grandson finally arrived! Both mom and baby are doing well. He is beautiful, and I am ecstatic to add another to the family.

While we're waiting, my daughter tackled another project.  She made a baby blanket. I have to say, she did a great job, and it was very inexpensive! I didn't think to take pics, so I only have one of the finished product, but it was super easy!

We found this great flannel plaid on clearance for $1.50/yd. We also purchased the black quilted fabric for $5.99/yd. We already had the white thread, and she used that for accent. She made it the same way as the burp cloths, except we left a larger opening for turning.  This method worked well for this size blanket, but I am not sure I would recommend it for a larger one. 

So, total cost, under $7.00 and a little over an hour, not sure, because we stopped to talk ... a lot.

 

Thanks for reading my blog...

Happy Crafting!
