I love having a reason to be crafty!!!

So, since I found out the babe was a girl I have been so excited to work on a few projects I had stashed away in my internet bookmarks for the day that I had a girl! I was also excited to finally be able to make my baby some of the cute things I had made for others! I have been having so much fun with being crafty for the babe, but realize maybe I'm going to have to start buying more practical stuff soon instead of craft supplies...I'm pretty sure they won't let her leave the hospital without a car seat! :)

First project was some Baby Legs!! This was one of the projects I was most excited for because these things are so expensive at the store! I figured if I could make them myself, I could have any color I wanted for a fraction of the cost of what I could buy them for! I used THIS tutorial, and socks that I found at Target for $2/pair. It took me less than 30 minutes to make all 4 pairs, and it only cost $8 plus tax! I think they turned out so cute, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to make a dozen more!

 

 

Second project is the first of many of these I'm sure, because these are the easiest little blankets ever! I've made these for most of the baby showers I've gone to in the past 2 years, and couldn't wait to make one for the babe! During a trip to JoAnn's yesterday for another project, I came across this adorable birdie flannel! Since I am currently in a birdie/owl phase, I knew I HAD to have it!! I think it turned out so cute!!!

Last project is another little sneak peak into the Nursery! It's not as close to being blog worthy as I thought because I keep having new ideas and changing my mind about things :) I came across THIS project on another craft blog, and knew at once that I wanted to make them for the nursery!! They were another one of those things that I couldn't see spending so much money on when I could just make them myself! They were so easy, and turned out so cute!!

 

So, to answer some questions I'm guessing this will raise, yes I think we have chosen a name, or I at least hope so or I will have to start over on this project :) I am, however, not quite ready to share, because I want to make sure I am 100% sure when she finally comes!!

Lastly, I wanted to share my new favorite site... Pintrest.com! It is an invitation only site, but I requested to join, and got an invite within a week or so!! It is such an awesome place to store all of your ideas and projects, and to find new ones that other people are working on! I've started transferring my some 100+ bookmarks off my browser to this site, and it makes it so much easier to find them! Go check it out!
