My AW moment of the day

RoosterMemphis · October 2013

I made this wrap, and I'm so proud of myself! This is us in a picnic yesterday. Any AW pics of things you've made for baby?

Here's another pic.

Holy shit. That's amazing!

MommyAmes2 · October 2013

Now that's one fine lookin' family! Love the wrap.

I have made nothing, I suck.

Revez · October 2013

Lovin' those cheeks! Too cute!

Awesome job on the wrap.

Eta: stupid autocorrect.

lkobriant · October 2013

Good lookin' fam you've got there!! My goal is to get DS's leggings made/finished this weekend, I'll post pics when finished.

jbbolton · October 2013

Awesome!!! Can you share how you made it? What size piece of fabric?

I made these letters for her vintage/shabby chic nursery. I used scrapbooking paper and ribbons. While we are at it, I shared my other nursery photos. Today I am putting fabric butterflies around her mirror above changing table.

I started to cross stitch a quilt for DS when I found out that I was pregnant. I worked on it for exactly 1 week and haven't touched it since. Mommy fail.

Shit, I started knitting her a baby blanket at 6 months pregnant. I worked on it for a week and that was it. Lol.

I LOVE this! I have some letters to make LO's name, and I've been holding off because I want to make something kinda different. I'm making a rug out of all the leftover fabrics from things I made for her over the summer. I like meaningful things like that.

For the wrap, It's 7 yards long and 32 inches wide of osnaburg fabric. Then I dyed it all a soft pink, then tie dyed over it. You don't need to do it so long, I just like to be able to do many kinds of holds.

jbbolton · October 2013

@RoosterMemphis. - Thanks. I will try this. We do not own a Moby or other type of wrap yet, so this is perfect! Is that type of fabric readily available at JoAnns or similar store?

RoosterMemphis · October 2013

I got everything at Joann's. If you don't have it already, download the Joann's app and it'll give you coupons. There's a 50 percent off coupon on there right now.

BabyE143 · October 2013

I have not made a single thing, except for spray painting an E (very original). I'm not crafty by any means but I sure can put together a great gift basket lol! All of LO's crafty/ homemade items were gifts.

Ashesha13 · October 2013

I made these letters for Jackson's nursery. Just got them up a couple weeks ago but the J fell and broke so I have to fix it.

Think I posted it awhile back. I made them even before we were sure that's what we were going to name him.

Cosmic+Love · October 2013

That wrap is almost as awesome as your daughter's eyes are bright.

WildRumpus · October 2013

I love it! I made these for Ezra's nursery, but I've sucked on doing any other DIY lately. I've got a few onsies I want to make

Yes, I have the app! Prior to LO's arrival, I was at JoAnn's or Michaels several times a week! I want to start an Etsy shop for Wedding and Nursery things. Here are a few other sets of letters I made for friends. Do you think these would sell?

Revez · October 2013

My "wtf" for this Wednesday is going to why you all can make awesome stuff and as soon as I touch something it goes to hell.

Let me know what colors and what color board you want and I'm all over it. It was seriously a $10 project; I think the spray paint was the most expensive thing.

Rowcate · October 2013

Adorable wrap & adorable family! I made a lot of onsies, ties & bow ties when pregnant but haven't had the time to be crafty lately. Such cute stuff on this thread you ladies are impressive

MitsB707 · October 2013

Such an adorable family! Love the wrap! Wish Tyler liked to be worn.

This is me too! Anytime I try to do something crafty, it turns out a hot mess.

I am not talented, but I'm always impressed by the skills of the other ladies of the board.

BabyE143 · October 2013

I remember something now! I did make a chalkboard from an old thriftstore framed painting. I used it to track the bump and now the baby..

** Got the tutorial from Little Baby Garvin blogspot, if anyone's interested.

Isn't she?

ETA Your family is adorable, @RoosterMemphis!

I attack walls and paint things on them.

E's room. I painted a map and landmarks and made Victorian silhouettes (still have to make E's!).

J's room is all Dr. Seuss. I free-handed it all in pencil then painted it.

Amazing!! You're so talented

The closest thing I come to painting/ drawing is calligraphy (not traditional just some pretty penmanship) I did for out wedding invites.

Thank you @tdmklm and @roostermemphis I think you ladies are gorgeous.

henderson1026 · October 2013

@tdmklm - OMG!!!!

And @Jill9288, if you want to make a business of it, I'll order one for each of my boys... Just sayin'.

Maybe I need to look into an Etsy shop...

kwhite27 · October 2013

I made my baby. Does that count?! Lol. Otherwise I got nothing.

RoosterMemphis · October 2013

@tdmklm I don't know which area you live in, but if we were close, I'd force you to be my BFF

BabyE143 · October 2013

@MommyAmes2 I heart you so hard!
