Two Cards to Share

For my mother-in-law's birthday I made her a card. One of her favorite things is her grandson so I decided to make him the center of the card. It was a hit not only because it turned out cute but because it will always be a reminder of how tiny our little Rogan once was.

For Rogan's first birthday I wanted to hand make all the invitations. I had something simple in mind with a small amount of cutting and pasting. I made a big mistake though and brought my husband along for the trip to the store to pick out the supplies. He, being the genius that he is, came up with this elaborate design for the invitations. I toned his plans down a little and this is what I came up with...

 
It took a weekend and one sleepless night and I had 20 invitations! Although I had a ton of fun making these, I'll probably go with something a little simpler for next years party.

My Many Projects

I have always been a woman of many projects. I've never been one to finish one project before I move onto the next. I have made many things, but I don't think to take pictures and post it, but I hope that will change! I want to use this blog to show all of my projects and hopefully to encourage others to step out and try something new. I hope that this blog can be a place of creativity and I'm super excited to share all my projects with you!

Last Christmas was my son's first Christmas and I wanted it to be extra special for him so I made him the Pond Friends Ring Stackers. They were crocheted and actually a breeze to complete.

Here is the web address for the free pattern. There are so many things you can make out of yarn! This is just one of the examples of really cute yarn projects out there.
