So, I was really busy yesterday and completely forgot to start this thread. Sorry!

Let's see em ladies! What have you all been working on? What are you super proud of yourself for creating? Let's all AW eachother! It doesn't have to be baby or Christmas related.

I've been working on some Christmas bibs for Savannah but haven't finished them yet. Stupid work getting in the way of my fun time! So, I'll share the butterfly mobile I made for her nursery this summer. It took forever to finish. It turns out cutting, gluing and stringing tons of butterflies and beads wasn't a quick job after all. Who knew? Anywho, it's 3 feet long and God only knows how many butterflies it actually contains. It's worth it though cause she loves it.

I'm working in bibs and hats at the moment.

Edited because I hated the picture I posted if it. Ugh.

@lisarene77 that mobile is amazing!!

I tried my hand at making some fleece pants without a pattern and had to accommodate extra room in the butt for cloth diapers. They look ok but they are huge! Oh well...it was my test pair. Lol

Texasmomma13 · December 2013

Thanks @sparks4stp. I like your little man's pants too. The contrasting fabric is adorable. I'm hoping to make more clothing now that I have a kid. Maybe by spring/summer I'll have some cute rompers and dresses to AW.

I just went crazy at the resale store yesterday buying women's knit shirts to turn into pants. I have an overwhelming abundance of projects waiting for me in my craft room lol. Plus fabric on its way in the mail and I asked for a bunch of diaper making stuff for Xmas. Now I just have to find the time!

I made some bow ties over the weekend and a slouchy beanie (not in the picture).

I have a few more fat quarters to make bow ties out of and on my list is to make a Christmas onesie for N, similar to that thanksgiving one I made him.

I've been working on these. I'm learning. No judgements lol

Here's a few...

I am not crafty at all. I'm just popping by to experience your talents vicariously.

These are a bit old but the first are Christmas gifts monogram letters and the other is jrs handprint ornament.

MrsLaurenAsh · December 2013

Not baby related, but I've been making my own Christmas tags all morning... Crafting is my "happy place" and I love wrapping gifts.

BlondieBia21 · December 2013

I made this really cute BABY!

(Don't judge me, she's the best thing I've ever been able to create!

omg @blondiebia21 that picture is ADORABLE!
@lisarene77 love that mobile! I was looking at some on etsy and they can go for such a high price!

That's where I got the idea. The ones are there are tiny too! We have 10ft ceilings upstairs. An 12" mobile would look ridiculous in that room.

@BlondieBia21 totally OT but I freaking LOVED your thread in Aug14. It made me lol this morning

Thanks! I was WAY too bored (obviously) so I took my time to gif it all out! I didn't realize how many gifs I put in it until I was finished and realized how freaking long it took to load lol.. Whoooops!

Thank you @jessicaivana! I think she's pretty great!

@MrsLaurenAsh, you are invited to visit anytime during the holidays. As long as you promise to 1) bring me a beautifully wrapped present and 2) help me to wrap my presents.

Lilmrslay · December 2013

I'm making this quilt for my step son for one of his Christmas presents. Nearly finished with just the binding to hand sew, although picture shows just the top.

Oh and I also finished LOs first stocking and a quilted advent calendar.

Cardstock is from Hobby Lobby & Michaels. I buy my paper punches there when they go on sale, as well.

You can download tons of ADORABLE free fonts from several websites. Search it on Pinterest! So easy and they go straight to your font box on Microsoft Word or Apple Pages.

I just play around and make my own designs and then print them myself

Slpafford · December 2013

@MrsLaurenAsh I love the gift tags!

Slpafford · December 2013

Here are some things we made yesterday. One for me one for mil and one for my mom. I obviously stole the idea from Pinterest (which is where I steal all of my crafting project ideas from! I don't know how I lived before that website!)
