Are you attempting any for baby?

I've started some cloth wipes and I've started knitting a simple blanket. I have a crazy amount of things pinned on pinterest, but I'm not talented. I love to craft, but I suck.


These are my fabrics for the cloth wipes next to one of my finished ones. Pretend those seams are straight

I made a stroller blanket for Grayson, and now I make them for all of my friends' babies.

The kind that wrap around the bottom of the stroller? I wish I was talented enough to sew something that has a pattern. I am slowly getting better with my straight lines, but if it doesn't have a youtube tutorial, then I can't make it :N:

Oh, no, just a regular blanket but because it's got a couple of layers it's great for the stroller. It's basically this: thecraftingchicks.com/2011/08/minky-baby-blanket-simplified.html

Those are adorable! I'm bookmarking in case I grow some crafting balls to attempt it!

Word. I promise you they are SO easy to make.

I crocheted a blanket for G and I will make one for this munchkin too. Nothing fancy, just a double crochet rectangle. I make a mean rectangle...long and skinny= scarf. Bigger= baby blanket. Tiny and squareish= washcloth. That's about the extent of my craftiness

I'm going to be making an abacus, like this. It's a knock off of one that CB2 had, that they don't make anymore.

I've bought the balls, and primed them. Started to paint out one color and the primer I used sucked (the paint isn't sticking) - so I need to re-prime. My dad will help me with frame construction. I plan on framing some kind of artwork too, and maybe making some pillows for the glider or something - not sure yet.
