I have nothing yet to show, but thought someone might.
I do have projects my mom and I are working on---- new foam pads for used glider (free glider), new covers, finishing burp cloths, nursing cover, and hopefully a crib skirt.
Also, covering my drafty windows with plastic. Classy.
AW away, ladies!

I kid, I kid. I actually did work on a few things this week. The first to show off are a couple of taggie minky blankies. I made four of them -- one for myself, one for my SIL, and two for friends that have had baby boys in the past 3 weeks.
This waterproof car seat cover blankie was actually completed a few weeks ago, but I needed to have the car seat to really show it off. Soft fleece on the baby side, waterproof nylon on the outside, light blue felt lining in the middle:
And, of course, a few more neck warmers. I have another one that will be done today that is going to be one of my favorites.
Today, I'm working on burp cloths. I'm also picking up a few nursery decor items. I can't wait until I can show pics of the nursery. It's just going to be a while. Boo.
ETA: Full details about everything I've worked on can be found in my blog. I'm pretty sure I'll be linking my etsy shop in my blog sometime this weekend and adding a few neck warmers in there. I haven't used my etsy shop in about 18 months, and I think I might be ready to start up again!
I also must add I don't like the way the bottom turned out. I'm sure once a baby gets in it the bottom won't be noticeable but I won't know till I find out.
ETA: I need to buy and put on two chunky wooden buttons on the flaps.
Your taggie blankets look great! I wanted to make some but I haven't gotten around to it. That minky fabric is my favorite. I love your neck warmers too! You are talented, lady!

I need a neck warmer. You always keep this thread alive by posting tomorrow! That is why it is a weekend check in. Also, as usual, love all your projects.
@Nicnique love the garland! We did something like that to rope off an area form our wedding.
@Arrgcr I smiled because my bump photo bombs me, too. Glad I'm not the only one. I really like that blue color.

Then I made a little hat out of the leftover yarn... I didn't size it well, so it will probably be more for next winter.
Next up I'll be stealing @Arrgcr 's idea, but attempting to knit it in the round!
Edited to change the hat picture... Previous pic was too dark!
@ChuggingWater -- if I finish more projects, I will definitely keep the thread alive. I'm one of the odd balls who doesn't sort by most recent post, so I'll just have to go back to find it.
@shannabee is that the pine forest blanket from ravelry? It looks AMAZING!
@peanutmuse those neckwarmers are gorgeous - love the last super chunky one!

Don't feel bad, my mom is still working on a stocking from my first christmas!!
I made these today:
A gift for my friends son who will be one next week and a housewarming gift for my good friend. I'm also making one for myself!
I have more Christmas gift crafts I want to do, and some for my kids but they will have to wait until next weekend.

I did some burp cloths last night, too. I am finishing up a set of 10 for my SIL (the pic below shows the first 3 of that set) and then making a bunch for myself and a few other sets to give as gifts to two friends.
Wow, you all are so talented!! I loved looking through all the photos
I have been very slowly working on refurbishing a dresser for DD's big girl room. Hopefully I should have it finished before DS gets here!

We bought new foam, and then made a new cover. I wish it had texture, but this way I can take the cover off to wash it, and before I wouldn't have been able to.
On the back is a nursing cover, a big receiving blanket that has grey chevron on the back (going to have his name embroidered on it), and a stack of burp cloths.
My momma modeling my nursing cover. We also made the crib skirt.
I'm also in the process of painting a frame, stretching some fabric, and then centering a large corrugated metal H (for Hoyt) in the middle. Maybe it will be done by tomorrow!
@Peanutmuse -- You need to switch the way you sort your posts! Although, after this long, why would you?
Happy Sunday, all!

Looks like you had a busy weekend. Nice work, lady! In a few hours, I'm going to post the full set of burp cloths. Just need to finish them up and work on dinner somewhere in there too, ha.

Here's a car seat arm protector - it wraps around the top handle. (I didn't want to get the seat out of storage to model it - hopefully it fits!) And one of those door jam thingamaboppers so the nursery door can be opened quietly (Don't mind the busted door knob; our dog was a chewer!)
This week, I am going to make some mittens and maybe attempt diaper covers!

*sigh* and since I went through my yarn, I found more that I had forgotten about, so I have some yarn to figure out what to do for myself, and yarn yarn everywhere...
Sorry for no pictures, I'll probably do a catch-up at some point. Oh, and I picked out the color for DD's hat.
