Kid crafts that don’t work.
If you’ve kept in touch with us much through this blog, you well know that I love doing crafts with kids. As in, it’s thrilling for me to help little ones experience the joys of glue and paint and stickiness and pom poms and scents and mess and paper towels. But for every great project ...
Finishing Touches
There was this blank space above Jaeda’s crib that I just wasn’t sure what to do with. But inspiration struck from my beloved Pinterest… I used the same fabrics from the hoop mural to make mine. P.S. Notice the brown minky changing pad cover? A friend read that ours didn’t match…and had ones that did ...
What I did with my Christmas money
Welcome to Jaeda’s room! Just to remind us where we came from: (Btw, this was before we bought the house.) I think they call this Apartment Beige. I should know because we put in 6 years of apartment living! Now on to Jaeda’s room. First are a couple overview pics; then I’ll get into what ...
Crafting for babies
Burp cloths and a linen blanket for baby Lily. Material from this Etsy shop…from South Korea! Flannel burp cloths and blanket for the soon-to-be-born child of our dearest former neighbors! And a little something just for Daddy. Burp cloths made from James’ old sweatshirt and Kyle’s old flannel! (I used it to make napkins last ...
A hat, a cutie, and a brother
I sewed a hat for Jaeda, since she’s outgrown all her newborn hats. The yellow strip is from a dress I long loved. This might be my favorite picture. Ever. My little beauty. She’s taken quite a liking to that thumb. Just chewing, no sucking (thankfully). So coy. “That ear looks so tasty.” Best friends. ...
O {Felt} Christmas Tree
Felt Christmas tree: This is totally a Pinterest idea (as are the stockings from the last post), but I tell you I’m committed to actually doing what I pin! I bought a yard of green felt to make the tree; it was actually more than I needed. $3.97 + $1.44 for Command sticky strips Then I cut up more ...
Babysitting Fun and Hashtags
As the fill-in babysitter for the past few weeks, Owen and Corban and I have had some great play time. Here’s a little peek at some of the ways we’ve passed our time… We got these great new cars from Grandma Steele. Owie and Corban enjoy playing with them…everywhere! #cheektocheekshot Owie was fascinated with the beetle ...
A Cardboard Flop
Moving comes with a lot of boxes. Let me clarify that. A LOT of boxes. So I decided to get crafty and make something. Like this bed. James did help a little when the cutting got tough. That was some meeeean cardboard. I presented Corban with his new bed, perfect for Puppy to sleep during ...
Newborn Cloth Diapers
My bestie Janelle (or in “Borbie” terms “Nelle”) asked what kind of diapering we would do until Jaeda was big enough to fit into our Smartipants. I was seriously considering buying some newborn cloth diapers, since we’re pretty sure we’ll need them again…someday (don’t get too excited just yet; give us some time, people!). Well, ...
Crafting: Bag Meltdown
Lest anyone be under the mis-impression that crafting always goes according to plan, this post is for you. I love that iron-on sticky stuff, and I was planning to use that to write out the word “CARS” on a canvas bag, so all of Corban’s cars and road blanket can be in one place. This, however, ...
