I have been sewing, knitting and crocheting! Here are a few of my latest projects. My daughter is a photographer and you can find her at www.shellywalkerphotography.com. I have been making photo props for her. For her Halloween sessions, I made a baby pumpkin hat. Just love this one!
For one of her Christmas sessions, she asked for a baby Santa hat. Of course, I complied! Love the yarn I chose. Not only is it a adorable, it was fun to make. I have a cousin in Arizona who also does photography and I will be making her one of these for 2013.
Her latest request was for me to purchase an early Birthday present...my kids tend to do that to me. I think in hopes that I forget and get them something else when the birthday arrives. Anyway, she wanted a Pouf for babies to lay on for photo shoots. Well, after looking at the Pouf, which was $59.99 without filling, I said to myself (as I often do)...I can make that. So, I looked over the measurements online. I went to my fabric stash and found some fun coordinating fabrics that I had purchased with the intent to make a tote bag. I used three different fabrics, 1 yard each and 1 zipper. My cost for the fabric was about $18.00 ish. The pellet bean bag filling was found at K-Mart for $12.99 per bag and I used about 2 1/4 bags.
I know, it's very pinky, however, she can cover it up with one of her furry pieces and it works great! It's about 3 feet wide and about 12" high. The grandkids love it to sit on. I think I'll make one to keep at my house for them!
I almost forgot about the "tent" I made. My son in law made the frame and I pieced together the fabric for a tent to use in the photo shoots.
That's it for now. I hope you enjoy my projects. I know I had fun making them. I'm hoping to add some tutorials in the future.
