Just A Little Fun DIY Necklace

Business Cards

I am so excited to have ordered my business cards. They should be getting here tomorrow! I think they're super cute. Now all I have to do is make some more blankets and I have decided to make a couple different baby products. Some baby bibs and crib mobiles. My husband and I went tonight and got minky material from the fabric store! It's light pink and fuzzy. Will go perfect with the flower fabric I got the other day. Now I just have to get through tonight and I will have all day tomorrow to do what I love, sew! I will defiantly be posting pictures along the way.

DIY Necklace

These are the pictures of the necklace I made to go along with the bracelet for my sister. I think it turned out pretty good. I was a little sceptical making it because I've never done anything like it. I guess if your having fun then it doesn't really matter though. All I did was cut out a strip of fabric from the same shirt that I used for her bracelet. I made a rose flower with the part of the shirt that had beads on it, just for a little texture. Instead of sewing the fabric together I used a hot glue gun. Those things are genius! Then I took two strands of beading wire I had in my craft pile and made knots to join them. Once again used the hot glue gun to connect them! There ya go a DIY project great for a gift!

DiY Christmas Gifts

Well this years Christmas is defiantly different than the others. With me quitting my job and no blankets sold yet we are relying on just one income. Which is better than nothing! Im grateful that we have that money coming in. Im sure there are several other people in the same boat or way worse.


So needless to say, I am doing DIY gifts this year from things that I just have laying around the house. For my sister I'm made a bracelet and necklace. They are so CUTE! I just took an old shirt that I don't wear anymore cut it up, and some craft wire that I had in the junk drawer.


These are step by step pictures of the bracelet that I made her. I thought it came out so good. I was trying to recreate a bracelet I got from Macys. It turned out pretty exact! I hope that she likes it.

Tomorrow I will post pictures of the necklace I made. Oh & I cannot wait for my fabric to come in so I can start making the baby blankets! My business cards should also be coming in soon!!! yippy!!!

Just The Beginning

I am a military wife that loves anything that has to do with crafts. 

I recently quit a waitress job that I absolutely hated. I felt stuck, helpless, and unappreciated. I know my worth and my talent and they weren't getting put to good use. Not to mention I just was not happy. I would come home every day and just be so stressed out. Being called hey lady and you over there wasn't what I would call fun. So I have decided to make a change. People say that if you're doing what you love then it's not work. Well that is what I'm trying to do.


I love sewing and seeing something come from practically nothing. I recently opened an Etsy shop called Comfy Cozy Baby. It has been a little harder than I thought. Getting my name out, setting everything up, and just letting people know how great my baby blankets are.


You can go there and pretty much design your own baby blanket. You can choose from different fabrics and add flowers to them if you want. I've made a couple sample blankets and have more fabric being shipped right now! I cannot wait till I can get started and post more pictures.
Fabrics I'm Getting For My Sample Blankets:

I have no sales yet, which is a little discouraging, but I know that I'm going to be successful! I mean I would buy my blanket if I saw it and got to customize it. It's a pretty good size blanket for a baby, made out of cotton so it can be washed multiple times without wearing (the fuzzy blankets start feeling weird after awhile), and I put extra fabric in the middle so they are super warm. Did I mention the flowers!? You can have me add removable flowers to it if you want. My personal favorite is the big white rose. It's just so cute!


Well I guess that's all for now! Going to shoguns with the hubby. Here is the link to my Etsy shop and I would love to hear feedback!
