That is so cute! I haven't been crafty lately!

Can we ask crafty questions here? I was thinking of making a "leash" or clip for Sophie the giraffe.. Any thoughts on how I could do that?

I plan on making a bunch of tethers for his carriers. I have pinned two but have not made them yet, so I don't have feedback to share.

I can't sew to save my soul, but I can craft with the best of them!

We made this fun little sign for my husband last week. He was named Firefighter of the Year and we were very proud of him!

Me and MH also tag teamed some projects around the house. We built this piece.. Toy storage and a sofa table for the basement playroom. Two birds, one stone!

And he helped me make this lamp out of an old fire extinguisher. We keep several antique fire pieces in this room. I love it!

@mrslaurenash. Love the table!

MrsLaurenAsh · January 2014

Thanks! We're loving it..

Texasmomma13 · January 2014

@mrslaurenash, love that table. So clever.

I'm almost finished with S's bow holder. Ii juat need to attach the hanger thing. I made a couple more leg warmers, and started cutting out the pattern for the first outfit I'm going to make her.
thanks to those adorable bibs made by @roostermemphis I also printed out a pattern for some bandana bibs. I've made a few bibs already and am excited to give the bandana bib a try.

Of course I haven't taken pics of anything yet. I will when they are completed. Promise.

Nothing related to my LO this week but I've spent the entire week designing the paper products for a shower I'm hosting on 2/8.

Lots of cutting, glueing and crafting for me this week!

Here's a pic of the invites and address wrap around labels I made.

It's a lilly pulitzer themed shower. And yes I put her registry info on the invite. Sue me

Seriously LOVE the table/toy storage piece!! I want it!

MrsLaurenAsh · January 2014

On which piece?

azzy1206 · January 2014

Nothing fancy, but I've been making headbands for my LO out of old tshirts.

rab2006 · January 2014

I'm making name letters for the girls... One down. Completely stole the idea from Pinterest.

kanned0121 · January 2014

I'm for sure getting a sewing machine for my birthday in a few weeks. Any good first-time projects you could suggest!?

MrsLaurenAsh · January 2014

Well... Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos during the process. I drew my husband a sketch and we measured the length and height of the sofa. He kind of ran with it after that. (He's a very talented wood worker.) Then I stained it.

It took $225 in materials, 2.5 days to build and prep, and about 2 full days for the stain to dry. Of course, it's always beneficial to have the tools and skill set to DIY. He would charge much more if he was building this custom piece for someone else.

Here is the pin I got my inspiration from, though! We just customized it and made it our own.

Yea. I'm gunna need you to send me that lamp.

I've been working on shoes. MH and I did this Pinterest coffee table real quick last weekend. Now I'm trying to collect vintage doll heads to use as numbers for a wall clock. The creepier the better.

Late to the party. I make these "Blingdana's" for Motorcycle chicks, cancer patients and well just for fun. My fav is wearing them to the beach. Not extremely crafty but hey, it's as good as it get for me.
