Autumn Treats

It is finally under a 100 degrees in this part of Texas. Which is cause for celebration and candy corn.
I do not, however, recommend attempting to photograph said candy corn with two toddlers in the room. It takes way too long to take photos.
But the audible sounds of glee as they discovered this new treat was well worth the time.

Universal Pacifier Clip Tutorial

Make a pacifier clip and coordinate it with matching burp cloths, blankets, etc for a great baby shower gift. Easy to make you will want to make more than one!

What To Do:
1. Cut out the fabric 3" X 9". Cut ribbon 7" long.
2. Fold the fabric in half longways with the Right Sides Together. Sew along the long edge. Then turn right side out. Press
3. Turn under the edges and slip the folded ribbon inside one edge. I topstitch around the entire length for a more professional appearance. This will also close the two ends.
4. Slip one end through the clip, fold over and sew. Your done!

Pumpkin Box Decor

My two year old son is fascinated by pumpkins. I thought it would be fun to make something with the kids and get in the autumn spirit.


STEPS:
1. I wrapped an empty pasta box with black paper. The kids thought I was "making presents."
2. Draw the pumpkin on orange paper and using an exacto knife carefully cut on the line. BE careful to not cut all the way to the end of the pumpkin to leave a fold. (Learn from my mistake!)
3. Glue around the pumpkin but not on the pumpkin.
4. Press down on top of the box and fold the cut pumpkin up.
5. We decorated the box with hand-drawn ghosts, BOO (used my Sizzix), more pumpkins.

About Little Andalucia

Andalucia is an area of historical significance in Spain. Known for the Alhambra, Moorish architecture, gypsies, flamenco, lace, vibrant colors, and the birthplace of Pablo Picasso I felt it was the perfect name for a new collection and brand for my creations. I dream of releasing a Spring line in 2011. And in the meantime, I craft through glue gun burns, ModPdge stickiness, and piles of forgotten projects awaiting my return. I create in an organized chaos!
