Eyelet Solarveil

I love solarveil slings for the summer - but I wanted to jazz it up a little bit. I borrowed this idea from Diane at Mother's Helper. I added a border to the solarveil with some eyelet fabric. A pocket could also be added to this sling.


More Mei Tais - Green Straps

Here are some olive strapped mei tais. First is Color Bursts on Blue w/ Olive cotton duck straps. Bright Spa Bubble w/ Olive cotton duck straps .
Thanks for looking. These are available for sale at www.katydidcreations.com



Linen and Lace

Soft blue linen with a glimmery lace accent piece. The lace on this sling is beautiful - flowery with a glimmer characteristic.

Tee Shirt Dress

My daughter loves these tee shirt dresses. Here is one that I made to be like Minnie Mouse.
I make these skirts really full so they flare out when she twirls.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Here are some little tic-tac-toe games that I have made using my embroidery machine. It is an in hoop design. There is even a little pocket on the back to hold all the pieces. Please ignore all the threads - it was late last night and I did not trim it up yet.

Pizza anyone?

I have been playing with felt to make some play food for my daughter's kitchen. My latest creation - pizza.

The first photo shows the plain cheese pizza.
But I also made some add-your-own toppings.
Sliced bell peppers.
Starting at the top going clockwise: Ham & pineapple (the ham was washed out in the photo), sausage, olives, pepperoni.

Mmmmmm....

Blue/Jewel Tutu

Here is another tutu. This one is blue tulle with a jewel toned ribbon waist band.

Colorful Tutu

Here is a tutu I made for a little girl. Her favorite colors are light pink, violet and sage green. The pale pink & sage green get washed out in the photo and the violet has a glitter on it. It is definitely much prettier in real life. I hope she has lots of fun with this one!




Going Bananas

Here is a photo of my latest towel:

It even has a curly tail on the back.

Sock monkey

Remember the days of the sock monkey. Well he is becoming more popular again. Well why not - isn't he cute!



Donuts Anyone

This was a fun project. I am involved in a play food swap. Each person is making some play food to send out. I chose to make donuts.

I made strawberry frosted, chocolate frosted, jelly, glazed, chocolate eclairs, and vanilla eclairs.


These are the best kind of donuts - calorie free!

Cars "Princess" Dresses

My daughter just loves the movie Cars. Lately, the only thing she wants to wear are "princess" dresses. So I combined the two and made her a couple of Cars princess dresses. I don't have any really good photos of her wearing them yet.

I think I am going to embroider Lightning McQueen on this one. I think the white needs a little dressing up.



I also made the skirts really full. When she spins it really flairs out. What little girl does not love a spinny dress.

A few new carriers

First up is a brocade onbuhimo on black canvas straps.


Next is a pleather onbuhimo on moleskin straps. This one is the same combination of the mei tai I made the other day.



Last, this is the Blue wavy dots canvas Mei Tai on natural straps.

Diaper bag/tote

I just finished my diaper bag to match my onbuhimo. Here are some photos:

There are two large pockets and two small pocket & magnetic closure.

The embroidered K is actually two colors - the green & teal from the diamonds.
