As for the wall art, I love it! I think they turned out great, for a first try. I may add a couple more, but I only had a small amount of wood on hand to make the frames. Again, soon.
I'm finally getting more time to myself now that Audrey can play by herself for a couple hours at a time, so I've been working on a crib skirt for a friend who's expecting her second daughter in a few months. I really like how it turned out!
This fabric is so pretty but was a pain to work with because it desperately wanted to unravel on the cut edges. I ended up sealing all the edges with Stop Fray by Aleen and it worked like a charm, though it got a bit messy. The center rectangle actually caused me the biggest problem because I am not at all capable of understanding stretchy fabrics, and since I was attaching very un-stretchy fabric to very stretchy fabric, it got interesting. Luckily, I was able to maintain the measurements required and my friend said it fits the crib perfectly. Pics of it on the crib will come soon.
Next, I'll be working on curtains for her nursery window and some pillows out of the leftover fabric for when her baby is older. Makes me want to buy a billion kinds of fabric and spend days sewing. Days.
Recently, my sister-in-law invited me to join Pinterest. I've been avoiding it for a long time because I've heard tell of hours spent pinning and pinning and pinning some more. Though it is chock-full of ideas for crafts, home decor, food, etc., I just knew that I would lose any resemblance of productivity if I ever ventured forth into the land of Pinterest. Turns out, I was right. The past few days, I've been collecting hundreds of ideas for beautiful, fantastic, fun and adorable crafts and sewing projects, but I have spent no time actually doing any crafting. Whoops!
Maybe tomorrow...
