I think there may have been some mention a while ago of a craft board, but I couldn't find one, so sorry if this is a duplicate discussion!
I've been trying to think of fun things to keep my mind occupied on weekends when I'm home alone. I've made a panel piece before and it came out well, so I thought I might give one a try for baby's eventual nursery! Here's the photo I'm using for inspiration!
All you crafty types out there, what kind of projects are you currently working on? Or what do you plan on making for the baby, nursery, etc. Show off those projects!
Omg I’m going to love this board! Crafting is seriously an addiction of mine. So I refinished a dresser and nightstand for our nursery, and also painted some wicker baskets to go on top. This is how they turned out:
I am also planning to paint some frames for the room and crochet a baby blanket or two with tons of hats. Might work on creating my own mobile for the crib too, if I feel up to it.
In the past, I’ve also crocheted some barefoot sandals for my nieces and also their newborn photo outfits (one was a mermaid, one was a princess, and one was Minnie Mouse.) Waiting to find out the gender before deciding on this little one’s newborn photos outfit.
@taylor2020 your furniture looks so good!
And those crochet outfits are to die for!!!!!
I'm not crafty in that regard. My SIL is knitting some stuff for Squishy (as she's been calling baby) lol
@taylor2020 OMG that’s an amazing transformation! I’ve always wished I could do furniture- such a great skill!
I sewed this set when we found out it was a boy- we don’t need much, but this baby will need something to make all the summer onesies more comfortable in winter.
I also knitted this sweet romper, but I tied it together with string for the moment because I can’t seem to find buttons I love for it. It needs 2 up top and 2 on each side and I may have to order some online- I really want honey bees or wooden toggles...
Got my wall piece mostly finished today! I have some touch ups to make but I'm pretty excited with how it came out given i couldn't get the right sized canvases for the layout i had planned on originally.
I’m resurrecting this thread because the knitting is never ending these days and I need to shout it from the rooftops. Also preeeeetty sure my actual family and friends are like “oh cool 🙄 another knit thing” at this point lol
@craftywitch those look amazing! I can knit really super easy things but I crochet more often. Also bring on the pictures because I love seeing other people's work!

Happy I stumbled onto this thread! I love to do crafts, but don’t get the chance to sit and do anything 😞. I would love to knit a hat or headband for baby. We don’t know the gender, so I don’t mind doing something neutral. Only need some help finding the right type of Yarn for newborn and appropriate patterns for a beginner. I have some needles from when I tried to knit myself a hat 15 years ago lol, not sure if I need smaller ones. Help a beginner please! I would like to eventually make a receiving blanket. I’m at 31 weeks baby coming soon and I have nothing! 😩
I made baby boy a tag blanket like I did for DD. I forgot hers has a decorative top stitch on it so I may go back and add one to his. But not bad for not sewing since I made hers almost 3 years ago!
Great job mamma's! We don't know the gender so this is 1 of many somewhat neutral colored beanies I plan to make. I am a beginner so I am practicing a bit before I tackle a small baby blanket. I am hoping to get some pretty baby yarn tomorrow. My only other projects besides the beanies and blanket is a couple of nursing covers and MAYBE a half onesie dress. If we have a girl I will make a variety of little hair covers amd headbands. I like to keep busy
Okay okay PROBABLY the last things before this baby is born. The knit pants are in my first skein of hand dyed yarn! (I got a yarn dyeing kit for Christmas.)
