What are you making for baby?

k2k2tog · October 2013

I'm sure I'm not the only knitter/crafty person on this board. So, what are you planning on making for your new little one, if anything?

I wanted to start something almost as soon as we found out. Currently, I've got a little car seat sized baby blanket started (this pattern). Anyone else have something on the go?

TonyaCody06 · October 2013

i wish someone would teach me how to knit but pretty sure my carpal tunnel wouldn't agree. I make hair bow boards, wooden name wall displays, tutus, etc. So if I have a boy - i'm screwed!

SarainColorado2013 · October 2013

I'm a knitter and will definitely be making some warm sweaters (in 6 month sizes of course) since we live in Colorado. Probably some socks and a blanket too. And I love to knit little stuffed toys so depending on what sort of theme we decide on I might make some little animals or dinosaurs or something.

I also love ridiculous stuff like this

Shellann1 · October 2013

I'm not very talented. Grandma is knitting Blankets

newfmom7 · October 2013

I wish I could knit. But I can sew, so I plan on making the nursery set, possibly bibs, and a few other small projects. I will also most likely do the art for the nursery. Oh, and I am definitely scrapbooking this whole process.

That is awesome!

Emmiemaass · October 2013

My sister makes hair bows and all types of girly things so I'll be all set if we have a little girl. And my mom started on our baby blanket (gender neutral) the day after we gave her the news!

earthlingz123 · October 2013

I will be making a crib size rag quilt, and I have plans to make some pretty hand dyed muslin recieving blankets.

flerlgirl · October 2013

I am making the baby itself. That is all it gets.

curlylocks3 · October 2013

Nothing yet, just growing them

I'm hoping to knit a blanket for each of them as well as sewing the curtains and cribs skirts for the nursery once I find fabric I like. I've found some cute painted dresser drawer pulls on Etsy but might try to make them myself. I'm also trying to persuade H that we should paint our cribs a bright fun color but he seems less on board with this idea.

Chloenicolle · October 2013

That blanket is beautiful! I'm working on a poncho right now to keep the burgeoning baby bump toasty through the winter months... Once I'm done with that though I plan on whipping up one of these adorable booby breast feeding hats https://www.paapinden.dk/blog/2010/11/09/lidt-brystfikseret/

dragonfly711 · October 2013

My mom crochets so I know she will be making some blankets since this is her first and probably only grandchild. Well beside grandfur babies. Lol

andyandrachel · October 2013

Um yeah, I can't make stuff. With each of my boys, I bought letters to make a train out of their names and painted each letter a different color.

diagonalley · October 2013

I hope to make the bedding for the nursery once I know if it is a boy or girl!

ColeyJ88 · October 2013

Probably a scrapbook baby book. Although, I have to finish Aidan's baby book first, I slacked off after 3 months!

Breastmilk. I'm crafty like that.

Darn this was what I was gonna say!! Too slow...oh well

Anjibaby84 · October 2013

Right now a cake, the baby wants it so how can I say no!

Silvermystique13 · February 2014

I'm hoping to make curtains for the nursery, maybe a little name plaque for his room/door, and POSSIBLY start a scrapbook for him. I dunno, though, I've been meaning to do a wedding album one, and that just hasn't happened.... :-/

ahastin1 · February 2014

I'm not crafty, but I love to write. So I'm wiring a journal for LO. I thought of the idea when I found my mom's journal and I just loved reading through it and seeing her from a whole new perspective.

LadyMacaron · February 2014

I wish I knew how to sew/knit. I have made a few things though. I have made some artwork, I re-finished a vintage dresser, made the invitations for my shower (no, not planning my own, but my mother begged me to make some because the ones she liked were out of her budget), and a restoration hardware knock- off toy bin. I am also considering making a no sew adjustable crib skirt.

tbmadeamistake · February 2014

I got you all beat, I'm making him a spleen, a couple of kidneys, a lung or two, a heart, and a brain.

enpowers · February 2014

I was going to try to make a cool mobile for over his crib. I was thinking, when people make those hard molds of their pregnant bellies, what do they end up doing with them? Hang them on a wall? -obviously a little off topic.

PinkKEL9 · February 2014

I made this headband holder. And my mom is making a baby quilt.

Mowill59 · February 2014

I sew; I'm making her a crib skirt/sheets, some blankets, burp cloths, some headbands, and hopefully a swaddler.
Although I haven't started on any of this.

pcourtade · February 2014

I'm currently making a nursing cover. I'm going to try to make some dresses and a couple of headbands too. I just got a sewing machine so I'm not sure how they'll turn out. I also have some knitting patterns for headbands that are really cute. I just need to save up some money for all my projects lol.

fsumom · February 2014

I'm not crafty at all. The only thing I plan on making is baby food.

CherSomething · February 2014

I'm a quilter, but I'm not going to be able to pull one off before she comes. Between work, school, and the kids, I can't justify the craft time. I hope my father's wife makes one! I LOVE blankets!

Puka99 · February 2014

I am not crafy so I am so jealous of all you girls. I can digi scrap but that's about it.

LaurelJoy91 · February 2014

I don't know how to knit, crochet, sew, or do anything involving fabric. I do draw and paint, though, so chances are I will make a picture and frame it to hang on the wall.

Same. I did crafty stuff for other people's kids. I'm done.

momof5sept18 · February 2014

I've crocheted a blanket that is carseat size but big enough to work as a breathable nursing cover as well. (: I find out gender on Friday so if it's a girl I'm adding pink bows and owls to girly up the blanket. I wanted pale blue incorporated into the nursery as well as pale and lime green so the blanket is pale blue and a pale green (half and half), and if its a boy, I'll add blue bow ties and owls. I'm excited. I'm also making both my toddlers blankets, and the baby a bigger blanket for him/her to grow in to. Also, I'm going to make matching hats to each blanket so Squishy will have two hats, and the tots will have one each, unless they want a second one then I'll make them each another. Squishy will get an Owl Hat to match nursery theme and boys will get to pick out of a few options (:

emack88 · February 2014

I made her name with the frames and the blanket ladder but in ivory and am planning on making this mobile.

emack88 · February 2014

Picture for the blanket ladder didn't load

JohannaD22 · February 2014

I'm attempting to knit a blanket. So far, I'm not getting very far with it.

sjn00 · February 2014

I am working on her letters.

@JohannaD22 I've been knitting for a long time, so if you'd like any help, tips, encouragement, etc feel free to send me a pm!

allrightmeow · February 2014

Im going to sew some clothes. Pray for me.

k2k2tog · February 2014

@Natalie78W You can do it!

babybean82 · February 2014

I'm planning on making the crib bedding and maybe a quilt if I can find the time. I also am making a couple of cute wall hanging things. I am very crafty but lately I feel like I have no time for fun projects that I don't get paid for.

coffee89 · February 2014

I tried knitting a few months back but it was going so slow and hurt my wrists. I then went to crochet, which I felt much better about. I'll be working more on attempting a blanket for him soon.

If all else fails, I'll sew a blanket. I sewed my niece a blanket and painted wood letters for her wall.

kimberly11511 · February 2014

I love to paint, so I am making a few large canvases for the nursery since we aren't allowed to paint the walls in our rental home. I'll also be sewing some things I found on Pinterest.
