Tom's 31st bday candle toy

I made this for my brother's 31st bday... an ever-burning candle, comes in very handy, especially in his big house with all these tall stairs and in his attic!


For some reason, he's got a skull on his butt :P

Japanese skirting for the dinning room

I stitched this skirt for a piece of furniture that ended up in our dinning room - handy, but ugly.


I found japanese fabrics at JoAnn's and made this in no time with my super tools :)

Our own personalized stockings


I made these pretty stockings for our family. Shad's, mine, Gabe's, my mom's (Mamino (grandma)) and my Dad's (Papilou (grandpa)), all personalized. Shad's has a camera and a polaroid of Gabe, cause he likes taking pictures, mine has a Geisha - I love all Japanese stuff -, Gabe has a blue bunny cause he can't part from his blue bunny toy. Mamino's has a cupcake for all the cooking/baking she does, and Papilou has a flying osito (private joke) :P.


Many hours of sewing there! Especially when I had to juggle with Gabe's feedings and naps and stuff!
I added the crazee crafteex label on all of them :)

Our white Xmas Tree


I am kind of dreaming of a white christmas... Took some fallen branches in our yard and spray painted them white and sparkle to create a snowy finish, and I cut out some paper snowflakes and heart baskets, and also a couple of white felted ornaments.


And finally added some cute little birdies purchased at JoAnn's on sale. TA-DA! It's set in the dinning room and it looks great :)

Tree skirt for Project Xmas 2007 :)

I made this tree skirt in no time , less than 2 hours. With the cool sewing tools my hubby got me for my birthday: I cut out 12 triangles with an acute 30 degrees angle, and the outter part of it is just straight cut.



TA-DAAAAA! Easy quick xmas crafting!

Crazee Bunneez blanket for Gabe

There are tons of things I want to do for the holidays, not sure I'll have time for everything though. It includes crafting and sewing, but also cooking and baking... But there is only so much time in one day, especially with our 3months old baby boy :)

Here's where Project Xmas 2007 starts...


Here's the crazee bunneez blanket, they all came to visit and Gabe loved them...


But they wanted to leave the house, so I had to hunt them around the house and pin them down... on flannel!!! Trapped.. for ever! Seems a bit cruel but Gabe loves them that way hehehehe :)


And also, this pretty blanket features the brand new Crazee Crafteez label, although I haven't figured out yet how to properly sew them. The PaperFabric is quite sturdy and doesn't work well with the sewing machine...
Still, it looks more "professional" :)


Ready to be wrapped for Xmas!
