Creative streak!!

I have always loved making crafts, I'm not good at it, but I love playing around none the less. I like to start with huge projects that I never finish. Here I actually finished 2 in one day! I had a very creative day yesterday and thought I would show off some of my crafts. Please leave feedback and let me know how I could improve as I would love to continue making these things for gifts.
Ok I didn't actually make everthing in these first two! Carmen was invited to a birthday party for two special little brothers. I was informed by their mom that they didn't need much and not to spend a lot. So I got my creative juices flowing and was proud that I came up with these. I purchased sand pails and filled them with swimming goggles, a beach ball & a beach towel.




I've always loved the cute little korker bows, but found most of the prices to be out of my league, especially when you're talking about my 3 year old. She won't leave anything in her hair all day long and we're lucky to even find it once it's out. I can only imagine where we would find an $8 barrette. So I bought the supplies and made my first one. I could really have a lot of fun playing with different color combinations. I need to work with the shape a little more because it's not quite round enough for me.
Last but not least is the baby gift I made for my pastor's new daughter. The onesie says Little Princess. I'm gonna make a tutu for Carmen next and I think the next onesie I do might be a little different but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, being my first one with no instructions!
