The past week & 1/2 I have been really craft and finished some projects that I have been putting off for awhile, some that I just decided that I wanted to do, and one that I have been working on for 2 months.
First off: During Conference I sewed 2 baby blankets for my friend Shelene who is having twin girls soon. This is the first time I have ever made blankets with minky fabric. I thought that it was going to be really hard but it turned out to be fairly easy! Now I don't think I'll go back to making blankets with only flannel. They turned out so cute! I love them! (Thanks for the pattern Andrea!!)

I used the extra minky and made little burp cloths that matched the blankets. Now I have technically made 4 of this pattern and I'm loving it! [Image] Last Tuesday I finished a cross stitch of Sleeping Beauty's Castle that I have been working on since mid January. Once I get in the mood to cross stitch I feel like I can't go a day without working on it. A few days after I finished this one I started one of Cinderella's Castle! They match and are going to hang in Mara's room someday (when I get them framed). [Image]
Last Thursday I decided to get some of my painting projects done and the kids wanted to help! Earlier I had been at the craft store and Xander picked out a wooden dinosaur that he wanted to paint (it was on 25 cents!) [Image]
While I was painting one piece of wood, Mara started on the other one for me. Good thing I wanted it pink!![Image]

I bought this saying from Uppercase Living along with the board. I love it![Image]
I also got this cute little saying from Uppercase Living.[Image]
I just barely finished this one: I cut out the dresses on my Cricut using the 2 Disney Princess cartridges. They are each 8 1/2 inches, and I Mod Podged them on a 12x12 canvas. The Cinderella was the first one I put on so it bubbled a bit, but that's what happens when you do things yourself. Now I just need to find a place for them on Mara's wall!!

Oh wait, I need to start the yearly calendar for my mother-in-law, I guess the scrapbook is going to wait a little longer.
