Saint Patty’s Day!

My son LOVES Saint Patrick’s Day.  No really, probably better than Christmas!  Well, his birthday anyway!

He ADORES corned beef and cabbage.  It’s always been a tradition for Grandma to cook some up for him and he waits all year for it.

When I found this tutorial on Pinterest, I had to make it!  I substituted shamrocks for the flowers and they’ll be ripped off Sunday and replaced by cute little flowers.  My little granddaughter will NOT touch it!

Below is MY version – I did not use “Fun Fur” but “Yarn Bee’s Haute Fur” from Hobby Lobby.  It was the same price and double the amount.  I used the whole skein, so I was glad I did.

 

Happy St. Pat’s Day, everyone!

Pinterest Tutorials

I have found so much enjoyment visiting blogs all over the world, partly in thanks to Pinterest.  Many times the blogs generously offer tutorials and sometimes I have purchased patterns via PayPal.  Gotta love PayPal especially for buying out of the country!

Here are a couple of the tutorials I made this week.  I’ll show you more of them later.

This little pouch is just sweet as sweet can be!  I pulled the lining a bit forward and top stitched it so it just peeked out on the front.  I used a soft smooth canvas for the outside, jute ties and a vintage button.  I just love this bag!  You can find the tutorial here at a very very very nice blog called Le blog de Plume de lin.  Be sure to visit and see all the lovely things there!

Here is my bag:

This is little keeper is so cute!!!  Take a look at this tutorial I found called “Scrappy Organizer” at Where the Orchids Grow.  It is a darling blog, by the way, with some of the cutest bits and patterns ever!  If you haven’t visited, you just have to!

I’ve love lanyards and just had to make a couple for myself!  I made a long one for my camera and the short one for my keys.   Here is the Key Leash Tutorial I found and used at Designs by Loft Creations by Stephanie Dunphy.  Here is Stephanie’s picture, it is a lot better than my picture, sigh… You wouldn’t think it would be hard to take a simple picture!

 

This is a fun little pouch using a measuring tape for the closure.  It was quick and fun to make using the tutorial at Just Another Hang Up.  Thanks, Suzanne, for a great tutorial and sharing your great blog!  This was so fun to make and the results were perfect.  Here is a link to her tutorial:

I’ll share more projects later, have a great day,
