Back in November I was lamenting that these adorable granny-square slippers might be too slippery for a toddler when an ingenious anonymous commenter suggested adding hot glue to the bottoms. Brilliant! So after Clare slipped for the second time in her very much NOT handmade (but oh-so-cozy) Old Navy slippers, I decided to take action and try this tip out. Very clever and YAY for no trips to the emergency room!
DIY Changing Pad Cover Tutorial
So changing pad covers get filthy, that doesn’t mean they can’t be cute. Just put the adorable fabric up where the baby’s head goes.
The great thing about this changing pad cover how-to is there is no top stitching, so if you aren’t great at sewing, no one will see your crooked stitches. It’s simple, I promise. Get the full tutorial after the jump.

DIY Pocket Bib
Here is a super simple baby bib how-to. You don’t even need a pattern, just trace an old bib. I like bibs with pockets to catch stray dribbles so I added one here. You can even make this bib reversible if you want. Get the how-to after the jump…

Goodwill Kitchen
This is the kitchen that I found for at Goodwill this Fall and refinished for Clare for Christmas. It was ALOT of work and I’m not totally sure, after all those cans of Primer and Spray Paint, that it was HUGELY cost effective but I’m quite proud. I learned a few cool things along the way. There’s not much a DIY here, just my personal step-by-step and some helpful tips.
Check it out after the jump…

We hope you all are enjoying leftovers this weekend! I know I am. Just wanted to stop in to let you know that the winner of Craft, Inc.: Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Businessis Amy H from Buggie & Jellybean who said:
I would love this book to help push my store out there more. I started making crowns and wands over this summer and really have enjoyed it. truelovefound.etsy.com
True Love Found comes from my favorite version of Cinderella my daughter has. There is a page in the book when the prince and Cinderella meet and simply says “In silence love found them.” I put my own spin on it with True added, plus it does have double meaning since I have my own True Love Found.
Amy we hope this book helps you meet your goals! Use the contact us form up there to the left to send your address!
Merry Christmas…
