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.

Another Baby Boy Brag Book

I have fallen in love with making and giving these baby brag books. This is going to be my standard baby gift. No matter how many I do though no two will be the same. I always change the paper, the way I do the matts, and the emblishments I use.

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.
