NTTCALR: Crafters Corner

[Deleted User][Deleted User] member
in TTC After a Loss
Hello ladies! 
I haven't seen one of these is a few weeks. It's time to share your projects! I'd love to see what you amazing ladies have going on in the craft/art department!! Obviously pictures are a must! :D

Over the last 2 weeks of worrying about appointments I've had to throw myself into something. SO... I decided I was going to buy cheap, old furniture and fix it up. I just finished 2 of my projects tonight and I'm so proud! It's seriously been therapeutic! Sanding away ugly paint and stain, getting down to the bare wood and creating something beautiful out of the mess. :)

    Wow, ladies all of your projects look and sound great!! 

    ****Warning Baby Items Mentioned Ahead!*****






    I decided that if we have a year to wait I will start a cross stitch baby blanket, and hopefully have it done by the time it's needed. I am hoping that it will give me something to focus on during this wait. I know there will be days where it's too hard to look at or work on, but hopefully it brings more comfort than hurt. 

    Also I decided to put my skills to good use in an effort to heal. I started crocheting baby hats to donate to the local NICU in memory of my Angels. I have 3 done so far. Again, a little masochistic but so far it has made me feel good to be doing something helpful. 
    I think you are pretty awesome.

    @EurydiceNymph‌ that is so sweet! I wish I could crochet. I've tried so hard to learn but my hands just won't do it!

    @Amybunny30‌ I've been buying super cheap stuff on craigslist and at thrift stores! I am reselling, well trying to! These were my first sets! :)

    I know that I am late to the thread but I love the pictures of the furniture projects! My crafts lately have been badges, badges, and more badges :) though I think I may begin making more dreamcatchers again soon once they are all finished. This is a picture of one I did awhile back.

    @EurydiceNymph I though I was the only one crazy enough to be doing such things! I am working on an adorable owl blanket in the hopes that it will one day grace the furniture hiding in my husbands closet (we wanted the cradle before his brother sold it). 
    I made strawberry jam Tuesday and am working on the longer part of quilting, the quilting part since I do that by hand. This is my tree skirt. I am also planning on working on the niece's cinderella dress tomorrow.

    No pictures, but I've been pretty busy getting stuff ready for my family reunion. We're doing a 60's hippie theme, so we're doing flower crowns for all the girls, and I just finished up a couple of suede braided headbands for a couple of the guys (MH can literally just wear his hair down with a headband and look 60's lol).
    Other than that, I've been making a few clothing pieces. I'm visiting with my gramma and drooling over her overlock machine lol

    I don't have an pictures of current projects, but August is when my holiday crafts start up so I'll have a bunch going at once soon! 
    I'm currently working on a blanket for our living room.  I found a serenity loom and decided to give it a try with that project.

    We met in middle school. We got married 15 years later in a February blizzard of 2010.
