Look at me, I'm crafty!!

I usually don't interact with any sort of craft that requires cutting, glueing or sewing, but I made an exception to make some cute things for our baby girl and a few Christmasy items.  What do you think?

Car seat canopies
(The red one is for my Sister in Law, brown and pink is for my little one)





An Unfinished quilt top- this was quite the project because the fabrics I first picked out didn't go well together and we had to try and get new fabrics to go with what I had already sewn.  Luckily, Dave helped me to figure out what I like and was patient with me (and did lots of unpicking) so I didn't give up. 
Christmas Advent calendar - this took me the ENTIRE Super Saturday time, but it is done!

These aren't crafts, but still it is a project!  We tend to get into doing different puzzles during the holiday season and up to this point these are the ones we've completed.

The quilt top is so pretty! I know how much work that must have taken you. It will be adorable for your baby, though. Will you let her have it in her crib, or hang it in her room? The car seat canopies are also such a great idea! How come they didn't have them back when I needed them?! I'll bet it's a good feeling to have so many fun projects completed. You definitely ARE a crafty gal, despite what you say... :) Love you.

Jsmie, I love the quilt! That looks like it was very difficult. I can't wait to see it, and touch it!

Love them all! I have loved using my canopy so much already, so I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. The quilt looks awesome. Way to go on all your crafty things. I just love how I feel after something is finished that I made:)
