Crafting

I've been holding off posting about my recent crafts because I wanted to wait until I finished something more profound.  Since I'm not sure when I'll be able to schedule profound into my life, here is fun and less profound.

I finally got around to painting some letters for Averi's room today.  I made some for Kaili when she was little and bought these months ago, but now they are painted.  The picture isn't very good, but they turned out really cute and I nailed them on the wall above her crib.

With going back and forth to the hospital all the time, my jewelry was getting really tangled and I set out to find and make a solution.  I compiled several ideas and came up with this travel bag.

It hangs necklaces and bracelets and has clear pockets for earrings, smaller bracelets, and whatever else I want to bring along.  It even fold up into a little pouch so nothing gets lost or tangled.  I'm pretty proud of this one, which is good because it's going to be used a lot.

I have also been hard at work making cute decorations for Averi's naked head.  I have knitted several hats, made headbands out of tights, and made tons of flower bow clips that can go on hats, headbands, or hair.

One day I will get around to making Averi's baby blanket and recovering the sofa cushions...for now I think I'll stick to the smaller less scary projects.
