I made a set of garden markers for my friend Heather's birthday. I packaged the markers in a terracotta pot, finished off with one of the broccoli tags from my last post.
Happy birthday Heather!

Nothing says happy birthday like broccoli
I just finished a set of gift tags...
I've got a couple uses in mind for these little guys. I'll be sharing those projects with you over the next few weeks.

Baby Blanket
Another baby blanket! This one was for my friend Kristie, who's expecting a little boy this summer. I used the same print I used for this blanket, except in blue. It's such a cute print! I chose a green animal print for the other side and a star stitch to finish the edge.

Footstool slipcover
When my grandmother moved a few years ago, my mom ended up with one of her footstools. The base was still beautiful but the upholstery had seen better days, so we recovered it.
My mom recently gave me the footstool. The fabric was still in really good condition, but I wanted something a little more neutral to blend with our decor, so I made a slipcover. I used two of my favorite value fabrics, burlap and muslin, keeping the total cost under $5.

Nest Place Card Holders
Another spring project...
My inspiration...
Image from potterybarn.com
To make each holder, I used a 4" bird nest and two 18" pieces of wire. I used 22 gauge brown cloth stem wire. You can get both items at your local craft store, usually in the floral department. I was able to make 8 place card holders for around $15. I added a few fake bird eggs for an extra touch, but you could fill them with anything.
