Craftiness

Here are my latest projects for first birthdays and my wrap (kinda like a mei tai) for the baby, as well as nursery shots.


The light green (not the inside of the closet, that was the original wall colour of the whole house) is the all-new colour to replace the peach and pink walls. We had a gallon of paint that was left over from when we initially moved in and painted the house. The store we bought it from gave us a new tint, at no cost. That made the project a no-brainer because there was no expense to the paint, just time. We need new blinds (you can't see them, they are deep pink), and we hope to go to the Re-Store and get some nice white ones for super cheap. We've been lucky there before (remember our first dishwasher and our light fixtures?). Also, we will be getting some picture frames to accent the room, but I'm in no rush. For now, sticky tack works juuuust fine. Hunter's hand and footprint are there just because I didn't know where else to put them and I figure they will keep me appreciating the little one because I will see how stinkin' big they can get so fast.
Also, to keep in mind, the bins will be gone as soon as we know boy or girl. There are two bins of girl hand-me-downs that I have saved and am eager to maybe use. Most of Hunter's old clothes (0 - 3 months) I have already washed and put into the change-table/dresser. I also have more bins of Hunter's old clothes that we can use if this is a boy. That's a crazy thing to think about and I definitely teared up when I was pulling out his teeny tiny baby stuff.


This is the babycarrier that I made. It's got a panel in the middle that can be replaced with different panels to change "the look". These ones are all pretty much unisex, but I have other fabrics waiting on stand-by.




These are two sets of name blocks that I made for Hunter's little friends who both just turned one this week. They were fun and I like painting simple projects. Also, they were relatively inexpensive as the wood was leftover from our deck.

This is a whole stack of flannel faceclothes that I made in about two seconds using my Mom's serger (I am soooo wanting my own sewing machines, now!!). The seam work isn't all that fantastic but I don't care because these things will see a lot of washes and I'm not too concerned if I lose them.
