Crafter in the Making...

I've always enjoyed doing crafts,

even though I'm not always very good at them :)

Lately, I've been nearly obsessed with

all things craft.

I'm a craft blogger junkie.

I ordered my first sewing machine yesterday (yay!)

and thought it would be fun to see the progress.

So I'm starting way back.

It all started,

with a sheep pillow.

Karlie and I made these one weekend

way back in high school.

Then a couple years ago I decided to start up knitting.

And I made lots of scarves...

Here's Adam, Gramma, Mom and Matthew

all staying warm with my hand-made creations.

(Kept everyone toasty in Vermont)

Jumping forward a few months

we found out we were pregnant

and I decided to attempt my first blanket.

It came out fine...

except the size/shape of it.

(but it doesn't stop E from sleeping with it every night :)

Last year I learned out to knit socks.

Here are the ones I made for the girls at work.

For Aiden's first birthday I decided to make him and E

their own version of me and Karlie's sheep pillows.

For Aiden's second birthday I decided to keep on

with the home-made gifts.

I made him a Thomas the Train blanket

and Elijah this basketball one.

There's been a couple more blankets/scarves/socks in between

but (shame on me) I didn't take pics.

Let's see how this next step goes...

I'll keep it updated with my projects :)
