Baby Skeletor Crafts

My second ultrasound (13 weeks) had a cool shot from... above? Face on? Annnnyway, we saw the skeleton and skull instead of just a profile. Whitney called him Baby Skeletor and it stuck.
Moving on, junk I've made so far...

Felt blocks! I don't know if he'll get to play with them ever but they sure look cute in his room ;)
 

Onesies!

Baby/Toddler Quilt... I need to make the dust ruffle and the crib is done. No bumpers.

Felt toys!
Batman is amazing and the monsters are awesome. I just love the stuff I make ;)

And he can't be my baby without some skull print. Nice and soft felt blanket. Just simple.

Still need to make:

• Car seat cover
• Dust ruffle
• Car seat blanket
• Breastfeeding cover
• Hospital gown?

Christmas Countdown!

I'm working on a budget of about $2 this month so Christmas crafts aren't looking hopeful... However, I saw a way cute one that is super cheap. I am working on this...

But so far, all I have is this:

The 800 matches you have after emptying 25 boxes of 32 matches each.

Looks like I'll be lighting a looooooot of candles in the future.

The good thing is, I spent $4 for this whole project.
$1 for the cookie sheet at Dollar Tree
$3 for the matchboxes ($1 for a pack of 10) at Dollar Tree
 and, I had all the paper from Christmases past
I might have to spend another dollar 'cause I'm thinking of spray painting the cookiesheet. But even then, $5 for such a cute countdown is awesome.

I won't be able to fit candy in, but I'm thinking of making little coupon sort of things instead of lots of junk in our stockings. Things like 1 soda, 1 movie at the $2 theatre, etc...

Yeay for fun projects instead of doing homework! :)

Cabinet Re-do

I've been wanting to re-do a cabinet in the pretty blue and glaze. (And to have an active blog ;) )
I finally found a cheap cabinet with lots of detail at DI for $10 and got to work...
Here it is in all of it's dark, ugly glory:



And primed...


Here it is bright blue and waiting for glaze...


One drawer glazed and one plain blue:


Drawers done:



Kedzie helped... :(



And done!



I love it so much and can't wait to live somewhere it can be front and center of attention instead of being stuck in a corner!
