Craftacular!

So I've been drowning my sorrows in crafting!

Here's a few recent projects I have finished. I have about 25 more in the works/planned. Yeah I'm keeping busy.

Isabella's PINK hairbow holder.  The lighting is off, its not really that dark.

I bought this fabric to make Ethan a Memory board for his nursery

Here's the diaper wreath my aunt and I made for baby Ethan. We'll hang it on the hospital door when he is born.

And I got some great deals of fabric this weekend for future projects.  Sneak Peeks.

These are going to be dresses for each of the girls. Pink stripes for Bella, Green stripes for Caity, and Dots for Calleigh.  I got all of the above for $3.47 -- It's about 8 yards total

Misc Fabrics I got really really cheap.  I have not decided what all it will be.

Got this for Bella!  I'm thinking it'll be a dress.

Lots of fleece for No sew blankets. Can you say Christmas gifts!!!  I'm going to teach my aunt how to make them too, some of this is hers.

Christmas Countdown

As of today there are 18 days left.

What do I have to get done in those 18 days?


Well lets see.

I have to finish:

• Fabric Paper dolls
• 2 felt play mats (1 car track, 1 stove top)
• 1 quiet book
• 3 fleece blankets
• 8 cloth blocks
• 10 lemon sugar hand scrubs
• 10 bath salts
• 5 fish in a bag soaps

And that's it, I think.    Crafting has been slow this week, because Calleigh is teething again.  Poor bug.  

A little Christmas Craftiness....

I'm pretty sure the people these are for, won't ever find my blog, so its safe to share!


Last weekend we worked on some christmas crafts and goodies. We met up with Jessica and Andrew, baby Hannah stayed with her grandma, and we worked on a couple gifts.

First up were these beauties.

Caity's are the multi colored ones, while Izzie and Calleigh's were smaller silver balls. I love how they turned out.


I've printed off this poem to attach to them before we give them out as gifts!



Caitlyn's Snowmen

These aren't just 5 snowmen

as anyone can see...

I made them with my hand

which is a part of me.

Now every year at Christmastime

when you deck your halls,

you can look back and remember

Christmas 2010

when my hand was just this small!

Merry Christmas!

Love, Caitlyn (Of course Isabella and Calleigh's will have their names instead!)


While the handprints were drying, we made some salt dough ornaments. We let the kids use cookie cutters to make the shapes they wanted. Some of them, we mixed glitter into the dough before cutting out.


They all turned out super cute!
