I'm totally going to aw. But I did three crafts this weekend! Not baby related at all. But I love them too much.
This first one is a Christmas gift for my parents not perfect as I wish my spacing had been different. But by the time I got to this one it was midnight and o was tired. Lol
The second picture is for myself. Maybe in my room, but I'm not sure yet. And then the third is my outdoor Christmas tree! That thing took so long to make. Like 6 hours. But I love it so much!

So... I know the styles aren't exactly the same, but I made the blanket (and messed it up royally, but that's another story...) a few days ago and loved the critters so much I decided to do some photoshopping to make some woodland critter prints as well. Not that we really have a theme, but I'm happy with it.

@lct2008 your tree is so cute! @MrsLittleMac I love the animal prints!

LilyASF42 · December 2016

Ornament for my mother in law all stitched up, just need to sew it this weekend.

Also side project of an anemone bouquet. No idea what I'll be doing with this yet. About 1/3 done.

LilyASF42 · December 2016

Oh and got the mat board for my dragon! Now to hunt for a frame this weeekend and mount it.

lct2008 · December 2016

@MrsLittleMac those creatures are so cute!!!

@LilyASF42 I bet your mil will love that gift!

Made a tee for an ugly sweater party. The hat is a real top hat that rests on top of my belly.

Totally pointless addition of fabric to some Gerber burp cloths...because spit up is so much easier to deal with when there's cute fabric, right!?

musicinmysoul17 · December 2016

I need some advice from crocheting/knitting ladies. Have you washed your projects after they're finished? I'm almost done with the baby blanket and I'm wondering if I should wash it before she uses it and then when it's being used. And how should I wash it? I know bleach is bad obviously and probably I'll have to hand wash it. But I've never washed anything I've made lol.

FreshBakedBrownies · December 2016

What kind of yarn did you use @becbec28?
If it's acrylic, it will be fine to machine wash, but don't wash it with anything that has velcro or zippers that could snag it!
Cotton would be ok to machine wash too but will shrink some. Wash on cold and fluff in the dryer just a little, then hang dry.
I would definitely wash it though before baby uses it. You never know what kind of residue, dyes, pesticides or whatever could be on yarn or fabric.

musicinmysoul17 · December 2016

@FreshBakedBrownies Thanks, that helps a ton! It's acrylic yarn so that's really helpful.

catiecatp · December 2016

@becbec28 - with acrylic you should be careful about putting it in the dryer - it can sometimes do funny things to the acrylic. I'd wash it as you intend to wash it when she gets it dirty - that way you'll know. IF you wanted to handwash it there are some quality products that don't need to be rinsed (so if you do rinse it is a bonus, but you don't have to worry a lot about getting all the soap out) I don't know how they react to baby skin, but they're scent free and color free so it is a start - I have some https://www.amazon.com/Soakwash-Liquid-Laundry-12-Ounce-Scentless/dp/B00KF4HYPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482380243&sr=8-1&keywords=soak+wool+wash and have also used https://www.amazon.com/Eucalan-Rinse-Delicate-Wash-Unscented/dp/B001W93UWS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482380267&sr=8-2&keywords=eucalan+wool+wash but again, not with babies... I'll be trying the Soak with my little girl to see how she reacts

musicinmysoul17 · December 2016

@catiecatp Thanks! I'll definitely look at those and just air dry.

tishb · December 2016

I started this beauty last weekend. I've made it my life's mission to have it done before she gets here!

lemieuxk · December 2016

@tishb I'm in love! That's going to be amazing.
