Vacation All I Ever Wanted...

In excitement for our upcoming vacation... I decided to make a little "Vacation Backpack" :)

I have an old backpack that is a similar design, but I wanted one that was a little bigger, a little cuter, and with some pockets on the inside. 5 different fabrics, 1 long strap and a million stitches later...

Crafty Update

New Necklaces...

I've been wanting to do a large painting for a while to go over our bed, but I couldn't decide what to paint. And then, ta-da! I got an idea... use fabric instead of paint. I love fabric!

Homemade Easter...

It's time for a little homemade Easter action around the Cicileo house. I am feeling so inspired lately with so much creativity around me, so I thought I'd take on my 1st ever article of clothing.

Time to Sew

Let the craftiness begin! After a wonderful group of women left my home this past Friday night at 10:30, I hunkered down and went to town on this pirate baby blanket ARRR!



I think I finally have this blanket thing down to an art, it only took 45min to 1hr to complete! Welcome Baby Cortez!

Oh-So Crafty Day

Today my sister called me several times to wake me up so that I would get my lazy-(day off)-butt out of bed and look at a friend's blog. She was thoroughly inspired and knew that I would be too as soon as I laid my sleepy eyes on the specimen- a homemade dress that was cute as a button.

Seeing how I had my whole day free, I officially dedicated it to creating. At first, it was just going to be a dress, from Martha. But then I got to the craft store...

craft store goodies... !!
