A bunch of random stuff I've been working on

I made this guy into a pirate:
It was my first work with elastic and pants since I was in Jr. High. I've also never done a collar, which was a bit tricky. But I love how it turned out, and it actually held up the entire night (which was better than my previous Halloween Costume Experiences).

I made this duvet cover for the little boy's bedroom. It's a twin sized duvet, and he still has a toddler bed, so it looks super comfy when he's all tucked in. I just made a pocket duvet, and even made button holes (and buttons). Yes, also my first adventure. Um, not my best work, but it works and I think it's pretty good quality. I love the flannel and how warm it is! This little guy will be so toasty! He picked out the fabric, too.
Locke's cool room with his Ikea additions from a hip granny.

I modge podged these letters my mother in law shipped up from her ward's super saturday. I had a great time putting them together, and I fell in love with the paper! We're trying to find a way to put them up on the wall, so until we can do that they are just hanging out taking up counter space. ha.
I just finished up an order of aprons, and I'm working on a little "brag book" of sorts. I don't know what I'll be bragging in it, but it's looking pretty cool! I'm hoping to get some cards done (my stock is depleting. I can't believe it), as well as some fun little projects for some gifts. Christmas will be here before we know it, I better get on it!
