Starter gardening set made pretty

Well today is a HUGE day for weddings. Prince William and Kate Middleton got married this morning. I just want to say that she looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Her dress was very her but also followed tradition which I thought was great. However, today is also the wedding of my good friend Kerri. It is the same friend that I did the picture for on my first post. Her wedding shower gift is what got me excited for making crafts after the reaction I got from it.  I just want to point out that Kerri set her wedding date before William and Kate :) Well I was thinking hard about what I can give Kerri for her wedding. I didn't feel like giving her cash was really something that I wanted to do. I wanted to be creative. Since she is a new home owner I wanted to give her something that she wanted to do.  Kerri is all about making her first home beautiful so I wanted to focus on the outside since the inside was pretty much taken care of. I asked her one day if she plans on gardening and she responded with "Yea, I want to but I have no idea what I am doing". So that is where my idea came to play.  Make her a gardening starter kit!!
I kept thinking what exactly I could do to make it something she will enjoy. She loves normal stuff that you can make pretty. I started with the tools. I covered them with fabric and ribbon. I wanted to make something as simple as a gardening tool and make it pretty.   Then I thought ok, what else could I do?? Then it hit me, I can make a bucket that she carries everything around with pretty as well. When I went to Lowes to get the tools I saw this carrying bucket cover and I was like AWESOME, this is the picture I have in my head and now I know how I can go about it. When I saw this fabric at Hobby Lobby I feel in love with it! The rest is history. I added some gloves, a hose spray, and a box of plant food to get her started. I was thinking about getting her bulbs too but there are so many beautiful types of flowers in many colors so I thought it would be best for her to pick those out herself.
I hope everyone enjoys :)

Baby diaper bag and wipe case!!!

I know it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. I have been super busy lately and I started a new job so my creative side had to take a slight break.
One of my best friends Jen is having her first baby in June. She is having a little boy name Mason. I couldn't be any more happy for her. I wanted to make her something instead of just going to the store. I came across this idea from a blog called the The idea room blog .  When I saw that I knew that is something that Jen would LOVE. Her theme is jungle with green, blue, browns, and alittle orange. My very creative sister in law Margo made her burp clothes with monkeys and the color green. I figured since she has already gotten green that I would work with the other colors.  This was my first attempt at it and I was very happy with the results!!
