Fancy Schmancy Gift Card Holders

These are the fancy gift card holders that I made for some of the gifts we gave our family for Christmas.
I got the idea from Make it and love it. She's pretty awesomely talented!!
this turned out to be a super fun project that took no time @ all!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!

So, I've been doing lots of crafting lately but I can't post anything yet because most of it's Christmas presents. so i decided to post some of my favorite decorations!!



This is my favorite nativity scene.

And my awesome vintage bobble-head Santa!! He's my favorite inherited Christmas item.

This is part of our HUGE village! Mr. Lawley's family gives us a few pieces every year! Right now we don't have the room to put it all out so we do rotate things through.

My "mantle" (yes, i realize it's not a traditional mantle but it's the closest thing i've got.) Don't mind the randomness of the bottom.

And my Christmas tree. Our tree is a bit of a mish-mash of ornaments. Mr. Lawley and i have a tradition that we give each other a new ornament every year. so we have those and then random ones that have somehow become super important to us. I love my random-mish-mash tree!

Cute lil pouches!!

I decided I needed to try and make something fun that was in my scope of sewing practice! and I saw the tutorial for these cute little pouches on Make It And Love It and loved them... so here's my attempt!! cute right? I'm thinking some of these will come in handy for Christmas!

And I'm Back!!

I've seen all these super cute wreaths all over blog-land so i decided to attempt to make one myself. I love the way it turned out.
So I took these fabrics, wreath, glue gun, and buttons and made this:
I used 3 different sizes of glasses to make the flowers! it was fun to put the fabrics together to see how many different patterns i could make. Then i hot glued them together and glued them on the wreath! turned out rather lovely don't you think?

Sick and icky

2 for 1 Pillows!!

I made these cute little pillows out of one pillow sham. I used my Cricut to make the leaf and apple. Pretty cute if i do say so!!

It's a Boy!!!

I'm headed to a baby shower on Saturday and instead of buying gifts I have decided to make them!! I'm pretty sure the {Mamma To Be} doesn't know this blog exists and so basically I decided I wanted to show off my gifts!!

This is the first tag blanket I've made... I think it turned out great!!
Lincoln even likes it!
Cute monkey's!!

Then I saw a tutorial for these onesies on Crap I've Made. I loved them!! It only took me about 2 hours to make all three!! The octopus is my favorite!
And last but certainly not least I made this super awesome Tag Owl!! I got the idea from Love Love. Took me forever, but i love how it turned out!!

Subway Art "Lawley-Pop" style

I love all the Subway art floating around blog world so I decided to make one for me and the Mr.
I decided to put all the fun places we have traveled on it!

I had a old cabinet door so I used my cricut and made all my words using different fonts and sizes, then mode podged em on the cabinet door. It was a super easy project, with some great memories attached to it. I can't wait to make more!!

Me & 'Ol Bessie (my 1970's sewing machine!!)

'Ol Bessie and I Have been busy, busy, busy lately!! We kind of have a love/hate relationship. As a self taught sewer, and learning new things everyday I have finally tackled the throw pillow!! I know, seems lame but it was scary to try something new! This is what I made today. Cute right? I made these to match the bigger pillows I'd made for my mom's front porch.
