She's crafty

or at least I'd like to think I am...

But I wanted to update with all the crafts I've done in the last while. Mostly (late) Christmas and birthday presents.

First of all, this is the pumpkin I carved for Halloween. I had a little bit of trouble with it so the eyes were held in by toothpicks. If you can't tell it's an owl.

These are jewelery-holder-frames that I made for Christmas/Birthday presents. The first one is my own. I can made myself a Christmas present, right? They were super easy and just needed a frame, spray paint, radiator grill (which is a lot harder to find than I thought) and some hot glue.


This is a doll that I made for my niece, Amelia. She's got some problems with her, like footballheaderistis, but I was kinda happy with how it turned out despite my obvious lack of sewing skills. I found the pattern on Martha Stewart (going from blog to blog, starting at this one). I think it was called Black Apple doll... pretty sure.


I made this tractor for my nephew Levi, (they're twins) for their first birthday. I also found this on a blog, but it didn't have a pattern. So, with the help of my mother-in-law, I made it. It turned out a little on the worse side, but I was just happy it was done, haha. If you can't tell the back says Levi.





I've decided that I really would love to be more crafty, however it takes a lot of time. I also need to get better at sewing. I'm already starting to think of projects that I can do after I graduate. On the list: this skirt, new throw pillows, and planning a few refashioning ideas.

Next craft will be Sean's man craft- the table.
