So I have been in this crafting mood for the last couple of months. I am so afraid I am going to spend way too much money, but I have been enjoying it. I also haven't had that may "tools" to complete them, but now I am ready. Cal just got a work bench, saw, and jig saw so now I have the tools for my wood crafts. The main wood craft that I have wanted to make are these awesome plant holders. I will post a pic later of the one that I have that I want to make.
Cal also bought me a sewing table for Christmas. My sewing projects include ( I might add that if i get enough of these certain ones done in a large amount, I might try and sell at local craft fairs....I hope this doesn't make me sound like an old lady):
-Making a t-shirt quilt of all of Alexis' onesies that I love and some blankets. I found this fabric that you can put through your printer and then sew, so i think I will add one pic of each month up to 1 year of Alexis into the quilt. I am so excited about this one.
-I am redoing Alexis' room so I will be making her curatins, duvet cover, bed skirt, and pillows for the bed. I will probably make a lot of the wall hangings, since the ones I have found are not exactly what I had in mind or are way too expensive.
-Spa bags......filled with rice and can be microwaved or put into the freezers. Soothes achy muscles and can keep you super warm.
-Boppy covers
-I found a similar pattern, but I changed it to make Swiffer refils. Using microfiber cloth I can make the dusters that go onto the swiffer 360 handle and pads for the Swiffer Sweeper and Wet jet mop.
So those are projects I have going for now. Usually something new pops up here and there.
Just a side note, most people don't know that I self taught myself to sew, crochet and a bunch of other hobbies....mainly by using the internet to "figure it out". I think I may start adding some of my favorite craft links to this site. I also have a few sites that have a ton of sewing/knitting/crocheting patterns for free.
So as these projects progress, I will definitely post pictures.
