Baby Food Containers

I always feel guilty for tossing out baby food containers when I am done with them.  So, a while back, I saved a few and came up with a good use for them.  Just a little bit of scrapbook paper, some glue, and a marker, and now I have organized office supplies! 

Kierste at Brown Paper Packages did something similar but with different items (and her labels look a lot cuter).

Since baby #3 is on the way, I decided to look around a bit for some other baby food container uses.  Check out this matchbox tutorial from Craftaholics Anonymous.  What a good idea to put sandpaper on top to strike the matches on.

Over at Juise, she shows us how to make some beautiful homemade playdough and stores it in plastic baby food containers.  So clever! 

I might have to buy glass jars this time around so I can make this adorable magnetic spice rack from The Little Apartment.  I love that it's not taking up any counter space.   

And why did I never think to do this with the kid's snacks?  Found this idea on Make and Takes.

Haven't been blogging much lately, but I really haven't been crafting much lately either.  Been too busy this summer helping turn this...

 into this...

and growing this...

I did, however, have time to make Audrey a Halloween costume.  It's my first time ever sewing using a real pattern without the full guidance of my mom.  Learned few things: 1) I hate fabric that frays, 2) I hate installing zippers, 3) I hate gathering, and 4) it probably would have cost the same to just go buy a princess dress at the store.

But seriously, why is it so expensive to make something yourself?  You'd think it would be the cheaper route to go.  I had tons of 40% off coupons and chose the cheapest fabric and everything!  Oh well.  I used Butterick pattern B4320 found here.  Not too bad for a beginner right?
