Happy Home Quilt

 

Sail Away (baby quilt)

This quilt came about because I found a couple of fat quarters with fishy-type designs and because I found one fat-quarter with a wave pattern. So, one cold, lonely winter night when I was missing the ocean I decided to undertake this design.

Everything on this blanket is a fat quarter except for the yellow gingham, which was about 1/4 yard scrap, the navy blue and the white. Oh, yes, the binding was left over red from something else, so it wasn't a fat quarter either.

MATERIALS: Lots of fat quarters (I used about eight)
1 yard of white
1/3  yard yellow gingham
1/2 yard navy
1/2 yard for binding
1 1/2 flannel or minky for back

The Little Mermaids (DIY Halloween Costumes)

 Cuteness overload. Seriously. We've got not one, but two little mermaids here. I can't even stand it. This costume wasn't too difficult to make. The fabric was bought from Joanns (using coupons, YEAH for coupons). The yarn was on hand (notice the two shades of red). The onesie was sort of a splurge (hard to find specific colors sometimes), but I only spent $25 per costume and they're way

 super cute!!!!

MATERIALS for 2 costumes sized at 12 months:
1 yard mermaid fabric
2 yards tulle
1/3 yard stretch fabric
1/2" elastic for waist measurement
thread
Onesie (I found the nude color on Amazon)
