I've been bitten...

By the crafting bug! There is a website that I just joined called pinterest- there are TONS of great ideas for EVERYTHING on there! Lots of fun activities to do with the kids, easy home improvement ideas, sewing, crafts, etc. Thanks to that website, I've been very busy during the kids nap times! Here are a few things that I have made:

This greeting card is not from Pinterest, but my friend Kim taught our mom's group how to do some card making- this is hand stamped and colored :) So much fun! I'm pretty proud of this wreath that I made using only some burlap, a wreath form, and some fabric covered buttons (ignore the baby-poop green front door- that's why it always needs a wreath!):

This is some artwork that I did for Liam's walls of his new room using only scrapbook paper and some cheap ($1.99) frames from IKEA. I LOVED the way they looked using matted frames, but they were $19.99 each, and kind of blew the whole cheap concept :)

I made this headboard for our bed (in the pic it looks crooked- because it was- that has since been fixed!) Sorry about the poor lighting, at the time, our bedrooms didn't have overhead lighting...now they do thanks to some very affordable swag lamps from IKEA! (do you see a theme here?). This project was so inexpensive! All I used were 4 sheets of Foamboard, quilt batting and some fabric- and Josh's staple gun!

Here is the before picture from our bedroom:

I also made the bookshelves for Liam's room using IKEA spiceracks (see previous post). I have some things I am working on for London's room and also am starting on the kids Halloween costumes- I love making things!
