So... what is it that I do all day?

Lately, I've been really bored, nesting, anxious, nervous, randomly emotional, etc. So I've been trying to find projects around the house, whether it be cleaning or making things, it doesn't matter. I just need something to do!

I have a few things still in progress, but here are some of the things I've made the last few weeks that have helped with the above:


Some thank you cards made out of whatever I could find (and if you haven't gotten one from the baby shower, you'll get one of these...)


The baby's bedroom curtains. These are old ones, I just put diamonds on the bottom.


The baby's crib, I still have a blanket I'm in the middle of making for her...


These are cross-stitches above the changing table. The frames were old, I just repainted them. The butterflies are from a website so I didn't have to pay for the pattern or thread either.


Here's a nursing cover. I gave this to one of the women in the ward. I'll probably make myself one too, it actually turned out okay.

Those things are very cute! I love it hw you say that you made it with whatever you could find. I wish I was creative.

Sara was 10 days late. I hope Maggie doesn't come late because in those days I went insane!
What did I did while pregnant? I read. A LOT! There was a time that I felt with no energy so I did only the basic cleaning, but at the end of my pregnancy I also got nesting so I had the hole house spotless. I also took pregnancy-yoga. It was very fun. oh, and also a nursing class (of only one day for like 3 hours) Have you taken any classes?

[wow] you are so crafty! Good going! I have made ONE baby blanket and that will be the extent of my baby creations. I get way too frustrated. I become a monster when I attempt to sew. It doesn't bring out the best in me!

Wow, I'm impressed, you have some amazing craft skills! Those all look so adorable, if you're ever really bored you can come over and share some of that crafty love at my house.
