{Crafty Year in Review} Part 2

It's time for Part 2 of our Year in Review. See yesterday's post for projects #10-#6!

We're counting down the crafty posts most viewed by YOU this year at Grits & Giggles. Let's get back to business at number 5!

#5

Christmas Tree Tee

Oh, how I love this little shirt. Like most kids holiday shirts, Gray only got to wear it a couple of times before Christmas, but it was cute when she did! I hate the idea of paying lots of money (I'm pretty cheap) on a shirt or dress that she can wear once...so I used some scrap fabric and a plain white tee to make her this little number.

#4

Anthropologie Knock-Off

This is another one of my absolute favorites...my Seersucker Anthropologie Knock-Off. This is The. Most. Comfortable. dress on the planet. The sheering in the back with the ties on top make it super easy to wear and the seersucker means it is weightless. I made another one for the tutorial, but this is still my favorite.

#3

Game Day Dress

I was on a real dress kick this summer. I made this dress as part of a sew-along at KojoDesigns. I wore it to several events this year including a football game and a wedding rehearsal...talk about multi-functional! AND...it's super comfortable too.

#2

Halloween Wreath Tutorial

What can I say...I love this wreath. The bows, tulle, ornaments...it all makes me happy and it really dressed up our door during October!

And the Number One, most viewed project this year was......

(Drumroll Please.....)

#1

Scrapbook Coasters

The Scrapbook Coasters Tutorial!!!!

This post alone received more than TWICE the number of hits of any other post on the entire blog. That's HUGE for one little project!

I think I have pinterest to thank for this one. SOOOOO many of you and others have pinned this to your DIY boards.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for visiting with me each day, reading, commenting and most of all, crafting!

I'll see you Next Year

{Crafty Year in Review} Part 1

This has been such a WONDERFUL year! There has been so much crafting, sewing, cooking, glitter, fabric, hot glue, and ribbon that I've barely been able to keep up with it all. Luckally for me...YOU have been helping me keep up!

I started this little blog back in April, wanting to keep an online diary of life with a husband, little girl and a few crafts along the way. Little did I know that I would have ALL of you amazing readers coming every day to join me in my Mommy and Crafting journey.

Today and tomorrow I will be doing a little countdown of the 10 most popular posts at Grits & Giggles this year. Most of these are tutorials that YOU, the readers have given me great feedback on, and even shared the things you've made using them with me! I love to see what you do, so send me a link so I can share what you've been doing too.

Let's get started!!

#10

Painted Pumpkin Trio

This was one of my favorite projects this year because it incorporated three things I adore...dots, argyle, and monograms! Fall is my favorite season, so I got to enjoys these sweet pumpkins for several months on my front porch.

#9

No Sew Stadium Blanket

Gooooo Tigers! I made this blanket at Hubby's request, because he needed a Clemson blanket that was "Man-sized"...meaning...long enough to cover him from head to toe. As much as I love sewing, I love making these kinds of blankets because they can be made anywhere and are quick to finish with beautiful results!

#8

The Polo Skirt

This skirt was made for the "Summer of NO Pants" series at Hideous, Dreadful, Stinky. I challenged myself to make 4 skirts, and it looks like ya'll loved this as much as I did! Thsi was one of my first tutorials too. I've learned a lot since then, but it's still easy to follow I think.

#7

Robin's Egg Bib Necklace

I love this necklace...but I've never worn it. I made it to go with a certain dress to an event this summer...then I changed my mind on the dress. I'm sure I'll come up with something. Until then, it just sits looking pretty on my jewelry box.

#6

Boys Shirt Refashion

This shirt-to-dress refashion was inspired by the tutorial at MADE. I saw this shirt at Goodwill and knew it would make an adorable little dress.

Come back tomorrow for project #5 down to the #1 most-viewed Grits & Giggles project of the year!!
