More crafting!

I just realized that this is our 100th post on the blog!  (Just a random fact to throw out there)

So, here are the Teacher Appreciation week gifts I made for Olivia's daycare teachers.  These are cupcakes in a jar.  I got the recipes and idea at Skip to my Lou's blog.



And here is my beloved Silhouette!  Mark got this for me for our anniversary which was this past Friday.  You will be seeing alot more of this baby here as soon as I can figure out how to use it!


And, here is a little upcycling for Olivia.  I shortened the sleeves of the shirt for summer and used the material to make ruffles for the butt of the pants.  These are okay.  I can do better!

Crafting makes me happy!

One thing I have begun to realize is that crafting really fills me with joy. I light up when I finally find time to exercise my creative side. I'm not particularly good at any one craft I just like to try my hand at lots of different things and see how it goes. I've enjoyed one craft or another for most of my adulthood but having a baby has really brought out the desire to create.

So, here are a few of my little projects over the past few weeks:
Taggie blankie for Olivia
