I'm Back!

Sorry I've been away so long. Here's what I've been busy with!

&

Taking a Cake Class: Wilton 2 - lots of flowers! It's been fun! Our final cake is next week, and I will put all these flowers on it!Made a shelf..well didn't construct it. Got it f/Michael's unfinished and then finished it. Paint and hooks. I've been wanting a shelf for a while. A place where we can hang our stockings in a couple months and that I can decorate for holidays!
I told myself I had 6 weeks after this baby to recoup! It's been 7 now and I have a list of things I want to make! Starting with costumes! My son will be Wall-e and my daughter will be Eve f/the Wall-e movie!

Tutu

I can't believe my baby is already 4 weeks! We are starting to get things figured out, so I'll be back to crafting soon!

Boppy Cover

I can't believe how expensive Boppy covers are..so I made one..winging it (no pattern). I made it with a fold over so the Boppy itself is unexposed because I didn't have a zipper lying around that was long enough. I think it turned out pretty well! I only had baby boy ones and wanted a little girl one and had some leftover fabric!

I am having a lot of contractions and beginning to dialate..so it won't be long now, and oh how I am sooo ready!

Settler's - progress

It's coming along well... I had a deadline to have it done so my Aunt could take it out to Idaho with her for the family reunion I am missing..but it only gave me 2 days..I got a LOT done, but not all of it..so with my deadline passed, I haven't been working on it as much ..and now I am trying to figure out my pieces. I had some temporary things that would have worked had I sent it out..but now that I have more time, I will take it and make better pieces. I like the board..but I still need to put some binding around it. I like the hex's and that the numbers and everything is velcro so I can change it up. I did get my progress cards written on tonight.

I think I will be making my settlements, cities and roads out of polymer clay. Maybe the knights too, we'll see.

Settler's of Catan

I had this great idea today!..well, I'm really probably in over my head, but am excited to try it anyway. Do any of you play Settler's of Catan? ..well, I do, and it's probably safe to say that I'm addicted to it. Anyway..I decided to combine my love of crafts, with my love game! We'll see how it turns out in a few days. I am still trying to decide what to use for the game pieces (ie:settlements, cities, knights, roads, number chips, etc. - Maybe I'll check out US Toys) I think I'll cut paper for letters/number tokens.. then it'll all be velcro'd so the tiles can be rotated..my idea is to make a board I could take..on vacation so I don't lose my real pieces.(It's a pretty expensive game..and I'm pretty protective of it!) I need to get some sheep fabric still..but know exactly what I'm getting.

Wish me Luck!

Bow Holder

Easy! I just hot glued some ribbon onto the back of this frame that I got from the dollar store.

Baby Crib Bedding - Check

Okay! So, I FINALLY finished the bedding for the crib. I spent all day. Now I have to make the mobile and I'll be finished with that project! Don't look too close..it's no where near perfect, but I am pleased for my first attempt, and without a pattern. I like the colors too! Hooray!! My son has decided the underneath is his new tent.
