Ooooo ~ Another crafty idea!!



Today's idea is wool dryer balls! I'm off to get Emma at school but when we get home, we're making these!! You toss them in the dryer instead of fabric softener. We're terribly allergic to dryer sheets & fabric softener around here but. . . these are supposed to: get rid of static, get rid of lint, separate clothes for better drying & be good for the environment.

Here's the tutorial I found.

I'll let you know how they come out. I'm excited!

Inspiration


So I get my inspiration from all kinds of places. Sometimes I just see a fabric & the idea comes to me. But. . . here's the latest dress I'd like to make for Ava.

If you've never looked at this web site. . . stay away. You'll soon spend all your money on your children!! bestdressedchild.com

Right now, I'm working on a beautiful smoky blue angora sweater dress. It will soon be for sale at my Etsy shop.

And have you seen the ruby sweater dress? Its to die for! But so is my model!

Nursing Cover Up Specs

Each one is hand cut and sewn and each is unique. Although they are approximately the same size, sizes do vary slightly, with the smallest size being 20" x 30." The neck strap is adjustable. In the corner you'll find a piece of soft fabric (terrycloth, flannel, or jersey knit) that serves as a pocket and as a burp cloth.

Check out the fabric collection in my etsy shop - just follow the link. Once you're there, choose your item & check out. You'll need to create an account name if you haven't shopped etsy before.

If you're in Yakima, I'll deliver it free. Otherwise, postage is approx $4.

And let me know if you prefer a different fabric than the ones shown. If you check the sold items you'll see what I've done in the past.
