My favorite project has been a dress made from one of Adam's old shirts (if I get my camera back, I'll post a picture of this one, I LOVE it). The tutorial is at http://dana-made-it.blogspot.com/2008/07/tutorial-shirt-dress.html. The shirt I made is blue and has a brown waist as well as a flower/button applique on the bottom left of the dress.

After making these bibs I decided I would add more of a curved top so they looked more like bibs (these are square). Mine were made for a boy and used a jungle print. I think they turned out cute and were pretty easy. The tutorial is at http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/02/baby-burp-cloths-bib-set.html
I actually like my bag a lot better than the way this one turned out. I didn't add the button, and overall I just like the look of mine better, but this gives you an idea. The tutorial is http://diyhandbags.wetpaint.com/page/Free+Rag+Bag+Tote+Bag+Pattern+Tutorial
I have also started making cakes using fondant. It is not as difficult as I would have thought. I've only made a couple so far and they have turned out okay. They look good as long as you don't look to closely. I'm going to attempt to make a castle cake for Samantha's birthday. I've found one that I'm reasonably sure I can pull off. We'll find out soon enough I guess. So now that I swe, make cakes, and scrapbook can I still consider myself crafty since all I do is copy other people's great ideas...hmmm
