Hey there! I’ve finally found some time in my crazy summer to jump in! I haven’t done a ton of crafting, but I do a question. Does cooking & baking count as crafting? Because I do a ton of that! I love cooking and baking! Well, anyway, I’m going to join team Sherlock! To start, here is my Anniversary Post/Retrospective
I joined craftster in, I think, 2011. I’ve done just a TON of swaps and crafting for my lovely crafting friends! Though, my crafting time went down after having kiddos. My first was born in 2013, and she is about to turn 10 this year! So, bittersweet 10 years of crafting for me!
In no particular order, here are 10 of my most favorite projects I’ve ever made:
After my first was born, I got REALLY into painting shoes for toddlers. Pretty much just her birth month friends that I was in a group on Facebook with. I painted just an insane amount of shoes. It helped keep my sanity.
I made this outfit for my niece, for her first birthday outfit.
I made all these little peg people for my nephew. There were many many more.
I made these mermaid outfits for my girls for Halloween.
I made a teapot!!! I absolutely adore pottery, and try to join classes when I can!
I cross-stitch quite a bit, though I’m terrible at finishing projects.
Once a year I pretend to be a professional baker and make a dessert for auction at a big fund raiser dinner! I do love baking, though.
A cake I made for my sister for her 30th birthday. Also, the picture. I’m a photographer! I made the cake to go with a photoshoot I did with her for her birthday.
My oldest chose to be “fox in socks” for her Dr. Seuss dress-up day. So I made her ears, tail, socks & mittens. It was also, unbeknownst to everyone, the last day of in-person school for her when she was in kindergarten, thanks to covid. No one knew that they weren’t coming back to school that year when they left. Went out with a bang!
