Birth Announcement

I made this for our new little addition.  The frame was made by her Grandpa (my dad) and painted by her daddy.

More July crafts!

I have been trying to post this for a while now.  I know the 4th has come and gone - but first, the computer was causing me problems and wouldn't let me upload any pics.  Then, our 5 year old had his tonsils removed and has had a struggle recovering from that.  So, all I can say, is better late then never.

This was our craft night project for June!  The other side is all about Summer.

This is a free printable from eighteen25

My July danglers!

Uncle Sam

A cross-stitch that I did ages ago and recently found.

Christmas Countdowns

I made this wooden block countdown on Saturday after Thanksgiving.  My SIL brought two countdown projects for us to do while she was here - this was one of them.  It was so easy to put together and so cute!

This is the second project she brought for us.  It is a mini muffin tin advent calendar.  All I can say is:  it's a good thing we had a cricut or else it would have taken us so much longer to do.  It wasn't really hard to put this one together, just time consuming.

This one is my pride and joy.  It took me FOREVER to cross stitch this baby.  It has 25 little ornaments that hang on the bows by each number that were cross stitched onto plastic canvas.  I took the pic before Dec. 1st so there aren't any hung up yet.  Here is a close-up on Santa:

Family Tree

I cross-stitched this for my in-laws as a christmas gift last year.  They gave it back to me so I could add Kaden's name and I FINALLY got it done.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  Also, Aaron made the frame as his contribution to the gift.

I made this one for my mom about 10 years ago and I have been adding to it everytime there is a wedding or birth.  She loves it and has hung it proudly since the day I gave it to her.

Thanksgiving Wall Hanging

I made this little cross-stitch wall hanging the first year Aaron and I were married.  We had NO money for decorations and I had all the supplies to make this on hand - so this was our only decoration that year.  I have since acquired a few more Thanksgiving decorations (most of them handcrafted by yours truly).

Birth Record

I finally got Kaden's birth record finished. I started this before he was born and then finished it the other day. It's definitely hard to find time to cross stitch when you are trying to take care of 3 little guys! It turned out really cute - Aaron says its his favorite of the three I have done for our boys. The picture makes it look like it is crooked in the frame but I promise it is in there straight.
