Crafts!!!

O.K. - so I've been inspired the past few weeks to do some crafty projects. I stumbled upon a blog that I LOVE called "The Crafty Crow" and it's got some of the cutest projects on there for kids and links to more crafty-type blogs where I got some fun ideas. I have always thought of myself as a crafty person - I LOVE crafts. I always have! However, while I was looking at about a million blogs yesterday I became humbly aware of the talent that is out there and needless to say I have very little of it. I envied quite a few of the things that others have made but was inspired to tap into my creativeness and give it a try. I posted a few pictures of the projects that I have finished. I do not yet have a sewing machine so they are done by hand - and please try not to look too close because you can TELL they are done by hand. They will never make an appearance to anyone besides my kids and husband and I don't have to tell you why - pictures are good enough. I post this simply because I believe I am going through a phase in my life - a crafty phase - inspired by many whom are dear to me and many whom I haven't met. I hope to continue this journey of craftiness whenever time and funds allow.

I copied this from a blog - It's Addison's hand sewn and stuffed to make a turkey.

I liked the one the lady made better but I will cherish this one because it's Addison's hand.

I had gotten some cute fabric squares from Craft Warehouse a while back when they were having a sale and brought it out to do something with it. I made a small pillow for Addison that she can have on her bed during the Christmas season. It's definately far from perfect but she loves it and that's what counts.
