Being Crafty

People are always asking me what it is that I do with my spare time. I do have a lot of it. I am not currently working and I am not currently enrolled in school. So what exactly do I do with my time? Well, besides cleaning and hanging out with cute babies and babysitting and going on fun outings and walking with Karen and all sorts of stuff, I pretend that I'm crafty. Here are just a few of the things that I've done lately! They will be much cuter when they are framed but as for right now they are sitting in a zip lock back in my closet, waiting patiently to be taken to the framing shop.


This one is for Scarlett. I'll probably make her another one when she's born that announces her weight and everything but this is hers in the meantime. I was proud of it because I created the pattern for the words!





This one is a Halloween decoration that got completed in time for the day but didn't get framed so we didn't hang it up. Oh well. Maybe next year.


This one is for Carson. It is one of my favorites that I've done so far! I love the blue striped background!







I found this when I came home this summer. It is one of the very first cross stitches I ever did and I think I finished it in high school. It wasn't made for anyone in particular, so it will just be a decoration for a nursery...you know, if we ever have our own house or something.







This is Adri's and the poor girl still doesn't have it yet because I haven't framed it. I actually finished it in time for her birthday but once again didn't frame it. It is really bright and cute in person but it isn't the best picture.







So as an answer to everyone's question, that is what I do with all my spare time.

  2. you're amazing and yes Carson's is one of my favorites. i am so impressed! remember we made those xstiches in high school and they were supposed to say "I am a child of God" or something but I got too lazy to finish mine so yours is all put into a cute pillow and mine was left saying "I am a child" or something? yea, that's about how far i get with those :)
