Bedroom Decor
We don't have a headboard (and probably won't for a while) but I wanted something up behind the bed just to give it a little bit of something...extra. All I took were empty wooden frames and wrapped some fabric around it and stapled it in place. I also used an embroidery hoop as well. I think it turned out all right (I would much prefer a headboard though...someday!)
Halloween Decorations
I totally fell in love with all the subway art floating around the blogosphere. I had a piece of wood lying around and knew it would be perfect! I am so excited with how it turned out. I love it!
I made these Halloween ghost luminaries out of old glass jars. They look rough up close, but they are pretty fun with some electric candles glowing inside!
I took a fall fake flower decoration and embellished it with a few creepy friends :)

Crayon Roll
My first totally independent sewing project. Not the prettiest, but it will serve its purpose!
Skirts :)
One of my first sewing projects, with a lot of help from my mama :)

Simple Cricut Project
I had some extra flowers I had cut out with my Cricut, so I stuck them together and put them inside a Ball jar filled with blue colored rocks. Easy peezy, lemon squeezy!
A Little Birdie Told Me
I really need a staple gun! Todd thought I was kidding when I asked for one. I liked in general how this came out, but I'm not a fan of adding paper to those cardboard cutouts...ick. Also, next time I might try to choose colors that pop a bit more.
Birthday Present
Saw this idea somewhere on the Internet. Was fun and Todd enjoyed reading them. A poor law student needs lots of reminders!

Headbands
I went a little flower crazy and used the handmade goods for headbands...I think I've figured out to make a headband EXACTLY the color I want :)

Thank You Card from CPS 152 Sketch
Yes, I know my cutting mat makes a totally awesome background ;) but I'm in the midst of P/T conferences, and we all know my pictures aren't that fabulous anyway :) I really like my floating butterflies and the purple and green Amy Butler pattern. I decided I need to buy more embellishments (oh, and more Cricut cartridges too!)

Citrus Family
Still used CPS 151 as inspiration...I like this one better than the last one. The colors remind me of summer...which seems SO far away right now!

Family Fun Idea
I saw this idea for a Valentine's card in this month's issue of Family Fun. It looked really cute, and I thought about making these for the kids in my classroom. They did come out adorable, but I have rethought making 24 of them...if I had children, I could set up an assembly line and churn these out quickly, but doing them myself is just too time-consuming! I used my Cricut to do the cutting of the heart and tiny flower shapes, which helped, but assembling them all is what took the most time. Maybe I am just too impatient!
CPS Sketch 151
Using the CPS Sketch, I came up with this card. I use chipboard from Stampin Up, paper from DCWV, and a stamp by Stampin Up using the Versamark Pen (it's difficult to see in the pictures, and I am still experimenting with the Versamark). I liked the way it came out, although I am still learning the technique for sanding paper off of chipboard! Is there no easier way??!! I did have to adjust the sketch a bit, as my chipboard pieces were too large to fit across the card, but I like it that way. I have really liked using the CPS sketches for inspiration, I was looking for something to give me ideas, and I really enjoy taking a look at what other people have done.
Be Mine Banner
My second banner I've made using my Cricut...I thought it came out pretty cute. There are some things I would do differently next time, but I liked this for only being my second one!
