craftgrrl | Happy birthday to meee (Reply)

In Honor of my 23rd birthday.. and my lack of stuff to do on my birthday, I thought i'd post a few things I made today (and other days) for.. enjoyment. :) Yay!

First! I made a puppy bed today! His name's Agro and he's the cutest Chibaby in the world. :) So, I made him a bed using my fav colors (hopefully his too). It was REALLY cheap. :) I bought a little piece of melamine (sp?) at Home Depot.. some drawer pulls (round... funny thing is, agro thinks they're golf balls and keeps trying to dig for them lol) and some batting and cardboard. Fluff and fabric for the bed and pillow already lyin around... and Tdahh!!! Oh, and and my first attempt at stenciling. :) (His name on the pillow) It bled a tad bit, but I don't think he minds too much. :)

Oh! Check out the sweet bowling pin... my fav toy of his. :)

Here he is, standing there pleading for me to let him get down... he's not so sure of it yet...

Also, I just recently got married, as you can tell by the icon... I made the flower girl dress!... Second article of clothing EVER.. talk about some nerves taking on that project. It only took me about a day too.. I even got to add the sparkly/pearly detail around the chest area. :) (to immitate the bridesmaid's dresses.) Oh, and I also made her necklace and the ring bearer's boutineer

Wedding stuff everywhere... Today, I made a shadowbox for my parents using some of the flower girl flowers that she dropped, a picture, and some of those 3d glue dotty things w/ foam in between the glue... Their house is all rusticy so the frame fits in w/ them.. not so sure if it fits the whole wedding motif though lol I hope they like it..

October was my flower girl's birthday! So, I made her a bag that I filled with goodies, stickers and makeup. Man I wish Tinkerbell was still around... i used to LOVE that stuff) :)

Once I filled up that bag, I stuck it in another bag for her. She just started dance classes, so she needed something to haul her gear. :) I think it turned out rather cute. :)

Speaking of bags, a while back, I made a bag for a swap. I think it's the best bag I've made, I love it to death. :) I even got to do some detailed beading on the front.

Lastly, in October, I had my bridal shower. :) I made some thank you cards for the people that threw it for me.

This one was for my mother in law - in the envelope it says thank you. :)

This one was for my new aunt. :) It's a huge red bead wired in matboard covered w/ metal I brushed w/ a wire pad... I really like it.. kinda 50s. (The stamps are off-kilter on purpose)

This one was for my grandma in law :) I put some red sculpey in the middle of a bead embelishy thing I got in a grab bag and pressed a b into it.. (She's Betty B. and I was Brion B... so it's kinda prominant lol) Then I covered some mat board and mounted it on top of another color... I really liked it! :)
