Any crafters here?

That have started making anything for the baby yet?

I'm a big crafter, but I won't be making anything until the 2nd tri or after we find out the sex.

I love crochet and cross-stitch. I started making a cross-stitch design soon after I started dating my now-husband. Finished it the day before the first BFP test. I'm not a FAST x-stitcher... I do think I'll hang it on the baby's room.

I scrapbook, occasionally sew and craft a few things  but I probably won't be making anything until after the 20 week u/s. If it's a girl, I will be making tons of stuff but if it's a boy I'll probably just make him a few blankets since we already have everything else for boys. OP, have you made anything yet?

ashtonblair123

I'm a major crafter. I don't buy much of anything that I could make. I am going to buy my yarn tomorrow for a rainbow blanket I am planning on making. @cola.crockett

Love to craft  It is harder with a toddler (13.5 months) but I get in as much as I can for holidays.  I got a Cricut last year for Xmas, favorite gift ever!  I love doing projects with my lil man too!  I am a graphic designer/photographer too so I get the computer end too.  

I haven't done much for baby though.  But I will

I feel ya, it's pretty hard to craft with my crazy 11 month old running around.

I love crafting!  But I will also probably wait until we find out the sex before I make much of anything.  I might craft something cute for when we tell our families, but I don't know what yet.

I'm crafty in the party planning and nursery decorating kind of way. Way too early for that right now

I went way over and above for DS's 1st birthday!  I was told only for milestone birthdays  cause I think I ended up spending way over what H budgeted!

I've linked my girls parties on my blog under "let's party". I also have freebie party stuff posted

I've been working on a boy and a girl quilt and I'm crocheting a light yellow blanket..I can't wait to do a specific color!

A few of my gal pals are going to teach me how to crochet. I'm very excited.

jenandbrett

I love crafting, too! I'll wait until we find out the sex, too. I try to make everything I can to save money as well as to make the room more personal. It will be fun to share ideas in a few months!

I am a huge crafter! And after todays stressors I sure glad I am! Hoping that it will take my mind off things so I can relax and calm down. I have some things around the house I am still putting together, but I'll be excited to make things for baby too when I find out the gender. =] b-(

ashtonblair123

I don wait for the gender completely there are plenty of things I can make that wont be gender specific. Plus if its girly and its not a girl I can just give it to DD. and @izmac11 and @tonyacody06 I don't even want to know how much I've spent but I will probably be a total AW after dds party and post some pics. Because its going to be spectacular.

TonyaCody06

I make as much myself as I can (invites, food labels, water bottle labels, banners, piñatas, etc). It saves a lot of money!

I'm making most everything. Banners, table skirts, part of the favors, I made the cupcake stands, I'm making all the food, the photo props, banners,her outfit, all the decorations. I've just done so much that I know the supplies have added up.

angelaclev

This is full of greatness.... I LOVE to craft. I may start some projects soon and I may not. I will definitely start some as soon as we find out the gender.

xnbride

Yes!! I just taught myself to sew and am obsessed. I have sewed all kinds of stuff for my poor unsuspecting pregnant friend. I am almost done with her SF Giants nursing cover.  I also sewed my son a Ewok costume. I have been dreaming about all the stuff I want to sew for this baby. I am excited.

I'm a big crafter myself.  I plan on making the bedding/decorations for baby's room myself, but am waiting until I know the sex (definitely my motivation for finding out!)  My mom is a big crafter as well...this baby is going to be very spoiled  First baby for me, first grandbaby for my parents!

KcashRN

I knit, but been feeling to crummy to start anything.

LindsayDesigner

I have a bunch of unfinished projects right now. Morning sickness is KILLING me. I need to finish:
-my daughter's Ewok costume
-my Mom's Lucy Wilde costume
-a tiny coat made from a sweater
-my own Halloween costume

I have felt so awful I haven't gotten anything done lately.

I'm loving all the crafters here!

I love to be creative and have also been sewing since elementary school. So far, the projects I have material and other items for are: 1) crib sheet 2) crib skirt 3) shaggy rag rug and 4) abacus. My husband will be making the dressers (one a changing table) that we can use a he/she grows up. I don't want to find out the gender but H does. We shall see but I'm making everything gender neutral. My inspiration is a hand painted elephant print/cloth from our honeymoon in Thailand. I can't wait for it all to come together!

I just wish I could craft more! I have super bad carpel tunnel and tendinitis.. So my craft time is very limited

I went and look at a couple of your parties and I love your puppy one so much! I love planning parties, too, and that is just adorable! If my daughters puppy addiction continues until spring, I may be borrowing that!

Nope haven't started anything yet. Been too focused on finishing DS1's Halloween costume.

I am a big cross stitcher. I have done birth samplers for most of my nieces and nephews and my girlfriend's LOs too. I am running a bit behind at the moment though so I won't get to start this little ones until I finish up three other baby samplers first (They take me awhile too  ). I find it challenging to find the time to work on them with my two little ones running around.
