Stuffed animal blanket

My good friend just had a baby and I wanted to make her something cute.
I was in Porters and saw these darling stuffed animal blankets and thought I would give it a try!

The hardest part was finding a stuffed animal that you were willing to murder...in cold blood!!

This really did feel wrong!!
For a great tutorial on cutting animals and if you want to see how to make this into a scarf go Here!

After you cut your animal in half, take out some of the stuffing and pin it inside your blanket. Remember to put your fabric wrong side out, and leave several inches to turn it right side out once your blanket it sewn all the way around.

And now you have a darling stuffed animal blanket!

Sponge Balls

I saw these somewhere.....I honestly can't remember where!
But my kids have had so much fun with them!

They LOVE to have water fights and this is the perfect way to have one!

So you start with some sponges, I later bought some from the dollar store that worked great, and cut them into strips.

Then I took some yard and tied it around the middle of the sponges and double knotted it!And there you have a sponge ball!

So easy and fun for the kids!!!

I love these cute little tutu's and decided to make a red white

My other daughter wanted a piece of the tutu action too!!

She was totally not cooperating in these pictures, and she was not happy with me.
You see my pertty blue flowers there she is sitting next to...well, she was so mad that I was taking a picture of her, that she grabbed a handful and ripped them out!
Naughty baby!!
