Sudden Craftiness

Today I felt a sudden urge to craft... and craft I did!

I made a baby sling for me to carry my 14 month old baby around. I looked up this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/Look-Mom-No-Hands-A-Simple-Baby-Sling/?ALLSTEPS and whipped that thing out in time for my other kid's doctor's appointment. It sure was useful!!

Then, this happened:


I let my kids play outside and that is the time I take for myself to crochet a little bit... and in this case.. a lot! I only intended to start my next scarf for the Handmade Especially charity, but I kept working on it after the kids went to bed (or... as I was watching the kids to make sure they went to bed), and I ended up finishing it! OH Well, at least it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Keep on crafting!!

Origami Lotus Flower

I found this on Pinterest and Etsy, and have wanted to make it for over a year now! I'm terrible at getting around to things, so I finally did it today. I LOVE the way it turned out and it wasn't nearly as difficult as it appears!
