Crafty Mamas Update

Cryssteen · July 2014

It's been a week already. I was super motivated over the weekend, but since then, bleh. Anyway, show me your projects!

What I'm really working on right now is a mobile (which I still don't know how to properly pronounce. moBILE, MObill, moBEEL?)

I wanted to try to make something like this

But I'm having trouble. I made whales, but the fabric frays, so I can't do a top stitch. I tried to seem them together and stuff them, but it got weird. I'll try again. I got an embroidery wheel to use at the base. And I'll string them up with yarn.

I was going to make a mobile too! My ideas from Pinterest are these but I haven't narrowed it down yet:

Real branches seem super interesting. But I don't like the birds. I'd want to do something different. Or different type of bird.

I love this mobile! It's from a (super, super cute!) nursery

Maybe I have a bird thing. I thought this was awesome, MH did not.

Wow, this one came big, sorry. But seems easy enough to do myself...I hope.

Pretty adorable.

I made some baby booties and a beard hat for my cousin for her baby shower. I am currently working on a sheep hat, diaper cover and booties for my niece due in August. I've got the crochet bug right now.

And for whatever reason, my phone won't let me post pictures.... So this is the link to the page for the sheep set I am working on

That's adorable! You're inspiring me to try my hand at a mobile as well. But I have no sewing skills so I'll likely use some super adhesive fabric glue to put it together.

ashtonkitty1 I was thinking about getting a wall decal one, because I didn't want it painted directly on the wall, in case (read: when) we move. I never though about a real wooden one! Love it. And those colors do match my nursery. But I was thinking about doing it in a standard yellow ruler style. CUTE!

mcr957 I literally first used my sewing machine last week. I got it for my bridal shower a year and a half ago. I don't know what I'm doing!

I finished the dog I was working on, but having trouble attaching the top legs. I finished a hat for a baby shower on Saturday. It's so cute that I want to keep it. I found some cute baskets at a garage sale that I'm going to turn into diaper baskets for both kids and soon we will be re-painting their room. I haven't decided if I'm making the curtains or just going to buy them.

Super cute mobiles! I bought some felt for a mobile project but haven't figured out quite what I want.

I finished my first knitted blanket (yay!), which of course the dog thinks is for him. I'm working on a little hat now, and it's pink! We found out baby is a girl, so that's really fun.

And I'm working on some painted giraffes. They're still definitely a work in progress (the blue and green ones especially are getting an overhaul), but I think I'll be really happy with them when they are done.

It looks like they used felt for this one...that won't fray.

It's a crochet pattern. I just made it (while dd was nappimg) and it took me about 2ish hours. It wasn't bad at all!

It's not quite done yet, but I'm in the middle of converting my old sewing desk into a changing table/station. All I have to do is spray paint the handles, drill holes for the shelves, and clear coat the finished paint job!

The ceiling is the same colour as the blue I painted the table. Can't wait to show you all my finished product!

LovesBooks I would go with one of the paper mobiles. As gorgeous as the twig and bird one is I would be too concerned about tiny pieces falling off into baby's eyes and crib.

My mom & I made the picture this weekend and I made the mobile last week. I love, love, love them together even tho the picture isn't hung up, I wanted to share

mhsj425 · August 2014

I started on these curtain panels last night! It's my first sewing project ever.

Also, this isn't the room they will be in. I just needed to see how they were hanging before finishing panel 2!

I'm not crafty, but I did make some artwork for the nursery. You ladies are so talented!!
