Sewing machine cover and new craft desk

Posted by Amanda Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:41:00 GMT

Ben bought me my sewing machine for Mother’s Day LAST year, and I’ve just tonight finally finished making the cover for it. What do you think?

And here is the craft desk that Ben got me for Mother’s Day this year. I LOVE it! I still need to get some baskets for the cubes to hold the smaller things, and get some cute decorations up, but this is 100% better than my “craft pile” in the corner of the family room!

And since I’m posting about crafts, here’s a bracelet and bows I made last week. I’m not crazy about the bows (don’t know til you try it, huh?) but I think the bracelet is pretty cute.

I Learned How to Knit

Posted by Amanda Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:05:00 GMT

I told my Mom I’d blog about this so she could see what I was telling her about. My lovely and talented sister in law Emily taught me how to knit so I could make this cute diaper soaker for Molly. If you aren’t familiar with cloth diapering with wool, this is a waterproof cover that goes over the diaper. It becomes waterproof by lanolizing it. It was an easy pattern to follow, and I think it turned out really cute.

You can find the free pattern here

Here’s a pic of my completed soaker. Check back soon, I’m working on another one :)
