Well, I finally finished my Aunt's birthday present-a heat therapy bag. I'm still new to this sewing stuff but I think it turned out great! I made my own pattern and I'm going to post it on Friday. Well enough chit-chat, onward to the pictures! [Be warned, picture overload ahead!!]

Feel Better Gifts...
So, my aunt's 40th birthday is this week and lately she's been experiencing a lot of chronic back and hand pain. So I was thinking of making her a rice filled heat therapy bag for her birthday. As well as a soothing eye mask. I'm fiddling with my patterns now. As soon as I get them finalized I'll post them for all to see!

My First Purse!
Well, after weeks of contemplating and pattern searching I finally decided on the 'Butterflies and Fruit Pleated Tote' as my first bag. I made it out of lightweight white corduroy and purple polka dot cotton lining.
Here it is:

Twilight-y Goodness!
I decided to make my gifts for my secret santa over the holidays and since she's as obsessed with Twilight as I am I decided to use it as a theme. For her final gift I made her a cup cozy. I found this image on photobucket (which I turned into a bookmark for her as well):
And I used it as a template for the cozy. Here it is laid out:

I made a checkbook cover!
So, today I tried my hand at making a checkbook cover. I measured the cover I'm using now and fudged my pattern, which is probably why it turned out nothing like I planned... Anyway, I found this awesome fabric at Joann's and had to make something with it so I decided a checkbook cover would be easy enough (silly me!)
Onward to the pictures...
As you can see, I don't have an upper pocket on the inside so the top flap is a little lighter than I would like. But overall I love it! (and I get to show off my mad GIMP skills with the blurring effect!)

I love the Dollar Tree!
While at the Dollar Tree a couple weeks ago I walked down the baby isle and found these adorable piggy cups.

A little about Hey, Mallory!
So I figure that I should tell you all a little about me and the future of this blog, so here it goes...
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm Mallory. I'm totally on a craft kick now, so most of these posts will be about things that I've made, want to make, or wish someone would make for me =]. I'm currently into knitting, stenciling t-shirts, mod podging, and sewing (I just got a new sewing machine for christmas!) I have lots of ideas in my head, if only I could get off the computer long enough to put my ideas to use! Please, continue to bear with me and I swear I'll have some projects posted soon!
