About Me

My photo
I am married and have two beautiful daughters. I have dabbled in numerous different crafts over the years. I haven't done any paper-crafting in a very long time. About 10 years ago I picked up a crochet hook and started a blanket for a friend. Like with many of us life got in the way and the project was moved to a box and never completed. In 2019, I severely broke my ankle and was confined to the couch for around 6 months. I picked my crochet hooks back up and haven't looked back. I still haven't finished that first blanket, but I have completed several others. I have even attempted to write a couple different patterns. So you will see this blog take on a new look as I start posting my crochet projects.

The Diaper Cake

Can you guess how many diapers were used to make this diaper cake? At the baby shower we used the diaper cake to play a game. The person who won the game guessed the exact amount of diapers.
The answer is 65!

Baby Boy Brag Book

My sister-in-law is having a baby boy and for her shower gift I decided to make a brag book. I used New Arrival for the babies, stork, and little animals. I also used a sheet of baby emblishments and some ribbons. The papers are from the single sheets section at Hobby Lobby. The babies faces are not finished because I have to get my fine tip markers back from my sister-in-law and give them rosey cheeks. Thanks for looking.

A special first birthday card for my niece

This is a card that I made for my niece's first birthday. The colors are the same colors (maybe slightly bolder) as the ones in her room. I used A Child's Year to create the card. I chose the verse because of the scream and shout line. She is always screaming and shouting while she plays. Thanks for looking.
