Crafty To-Do List

This toddler bench is brilliant. My daughter is constantly hauling stools, and the chairs to her little table around the house. She likes things that are just her size. This tutorial is found on The Mother Huddle.



This fold up picnic blanket is a great idea! Posted by Ikat Bags:



I NEED some maternity clothes... I've gotten to the point where even my longer maternity shirts are getting too short. So the next two projects I want to do ASAP for me! But are ones that I can reuse the fabric for toddler clothes after.

This top tutorial will be easily adjusted to a maternity top. Perfect for summer! I found this tutorial on Sew Mama Sew.



The final project I would like to do is a teepee for the kids. Something fun they can set up in the living room on occasion. This fabric teepee is posted on the Robert Kaufman site:

More items I'd love to do.


This is a tutorial I've been wanting to do since last summer!! I'm really hoping to tackle it this year! In the Garden Shirred Twirly Dress by From An Igloo (awesome blog... if you're not a follower of it!):





This adorable sunsuit, I NEED to make. SO cute! Ruffle Sunsuit by Little Betty I can just visualize all the fabulous fabric combos I could use for this:




This is a project I need to do, and soon! I need to do up a window valence in the nursery. I already have the fabric for it, just need to sit down and do it! This Window Valence tutorial was posted by Sew Dang Cute Crafts:





I also have plans to alter a stack of white onesies I bought a few months back. Now that I know it's a girl, I can have even more fun! Will be doing some appliques... and of course some ruffle bums! Ruffle Bumsies tutorial on Our Cozy Nest by guest poster Megan of Megity's Handmade:






Here is another bookmark from last summer that I never got to! But I definitely need to get a couple of these done up for dd this year for playing in the yard.

Every week I bookmark a tonne of crafty tutorials, or finished projects by others....I couldn't possibly create them all. I would love to highlight some on this blog, and hope to motivate myself to do some of them up. Most are for our own personal use around the house, as I wouldn't feel right selling them (unless permission is explicitly given). Some will be inspiration photos, others will be links to tutorials, and some other will be actual patterns that I just couldn't resist and most likely have bought.

So hopefully this is a weekly edition, but it may be twice a month or so.

I'm so excited to be expecting another girl... I love skirts and dresses, and everything girly! :) So many great projects out there for girls!


This adorable Scalloped Skirt tutorial by Ameroonie Designs :



I absolutely fell in love with this Ruffle Easter Quilt that The Girl Creative posted a tutorial for:



My daughter's garden themed room is just screaming for this Fleece Flower Petal Pillow that was posted on Come Together Kids:




Now these Dragon Tails, are perfect for my daughter that just loves to pretend! She loves to dress up and be all sorts of creatures. This tutorial was posted on Tater Tots & Jello by Jessica of Running With Scissors:




I definitely plan to make a Car Seat Cover for this baby. It gets nasty cold here in the winter, and I think a nice cotton/minky car seat cover would help keep some warmth in while going to and from the car. This fabulous tutorial was posted on Cluck. Cluck. Sew :



All these blogs are absolutely FABULOUS! I'm an avid blog reader... love crafty and foody blogs.... :) So many great blogger mommies out there, as well as just seriously crafty people!

That's all I have the energy to post this evening, so enjoy! I hope to tackle some of these in the weeks to come.... but in the meantime, there will be plenty of distraction of other great projects I find!
