I'm usually Crafty McCrafterson but my creative and crafty juices just haven't been flowing very much this pregnancy. I pinned SO many cute things in the beginning but have barely gotten around to make anything (aside from some cute onsies).
Now that the pregnancy is coming to an end I feel like a new fire has been lit under my butt and the crafting bug has gotten to me BADLY. I'm trying to make a few last things this weekend.
Anyone else in the same boat? What's left on your DIY to-do list?
My list:
Burp Cloths
Cardigan Onesie
And I'm totally going to steal Yaya's idea and make a few bowties

OaD August siggy challenge- fav show that's off the air:

I went in craft overload recently! I am making micro fleece liners, crotcheting a baby blanket, make a cardigan onesie and going to try and make a teenage ninja turtle shell and mask for his newborn pics, this may seem doable with 6 weeks but I just learned how to sew and crotchet through YouTube recently.
I'm with you! For some reason, I feel like this is my last weekend to get stuff done...
My list:
burp cloths
bandana drool bibs
I really want to do some of those Cardigan Onesies, but that maybe be above my skill level
Last weekend I finished painting and hung the mirrors and three mini shelves for the changing table nook. I also painted the knobs on the changing table.
This weekend's crafty to-do list includes:
I have other crafty stuff to do but I don't have the supplies yet to work on them.
This is me. I started knitting a baby blanket before I even knew I was pregnant since we were TTC. Once I knew I was pregnant I worked on it a bunch more but have not touched it lately and now I have no motivation to finish it.
I'm with ya! This is the least crafty I've ever been.... and this is my second baby! I think it partially has to do with being Team Green.
I'm making curtains right now and can't decide on fabric for a baby blanket because I just can't find any gender neutral patterns I like. Once the baby is here, I will make a few more burp cloths and probably a taggie blanket.
I made DS a felt kit Christmas stocking for his first Christmas which took me 3 months (so time consuming) and I know I should do the same for this baby.
I have high hopes, but not enough time or motivation.

I started to learn to crochet and started a pair of baby pants. Made the waist band and it's sat there ever since. Fail! I know I won't get around to finishing that before LO arrives. I figured I'd stick to the skills I already have instead of trying new things for now
Painted and gave it me knobs, it looks like new. I've also made canvas art to go on the wall over the crib.. It's just a plain white canvas with pink,teal,brown, and white buttons spelling the letter L. I've also mod podged a few picture frames with scrapbook paper , and am working on her monile! Passes time and I have DS help as well
I am fairly crafty but also have not seemed to have much motivation. I have done scrapbook paper flowers for the walls of DDs nursery with DS foot prints. Finished painting her room and made 12 burp cloths. Things to do:
Sand, paint and hang up wood letters spelling her name above her crib
Sand and paint the dresser for DS room so that DD can have his old dresser
Make a felt flower hair accessory organizer
We are going fishing and camping this weekend and I am sure it will be hot so I plan on sitting in the air conditioned camper and working on some crafts!
My curtains have also been on hold and just moved up to project #1! Our shower is this weekend, so I'm kind of holding off until I can make sure no one bought us anything that would clash with what the fabric I was thinking.
My boppy cover ended up just being cheaper to get online with a coupon...
I'm dying to try those bowties though!
DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18
FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!
Another pair of matching shorts for DS and LO
Then month stickers
A car wallet matching shorts for DS
Matching shoes for LO if I get time
This is an ambitious list
I'm trying to get my maternity sash done today or tomorrow for pictures on Wednesday. I still have headbands for newborn shoot, headband holders and wall letters.
I went into craft overdrive when I found out I was pregnant and I've finished 3 wall canvases, 1 crochet blanket, painted the dresser, made 1 taggy blanket and 10 burp cloth, and also made 2 quilts.
Left to do is finish 2nd crochet blanket, crochet bunting with the word 'adored', and more burp cloths.
I did crochet 1 cardigan as well but gave it away in the end along with another quilt I made for my best friend.
