I haven't been posting, but I have been crafting! School is finally over so maybe I will get to this more often. Here goes one massive post summarizing what I have been up to. I got a Cricut for my birthday so I have been putting that to good use. I made a few bridal shower gifts and plaques for my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law for Mother's day. All were made using SCAL.

Seatlle Temple Silhouette. I have the files for all these temples if anyone is interested.

Bountiful Temple Sihlouette

These are the temples my mother-in-law's children were married in. (Salt Lake, St. Louis, Oklahoma City, and DC)

And the temples her mother's children were married in. (Salt Lake, Provo, and St. George)

I am also co-hosting a bridal shower for my sister-in-law so I did invitations in her colors. These were really simple but I love the way they turned out!

The last thing I have been working on is a work in progress. I completed a quilt top but have yet to quilt it. It just seems like such a difficult task. I will get there...

Hopefully there will be more projects to post shortly. I have started a few others, but will save them until they are done =)

Happy Crafting!

Ok I got in some crafting this weekend. I found a tutorial for the cutest car caddy over at homemade by jill and a tutorial for the cutest baby shoes at homespun threads. Here is what I came up with!

I won't bother posting a tutorial because there is already a fabulous one at homemade by jill. The only change I made was instead of spray painting numbers on the pockets I cut out felt numbers in colors matching the cars I bought. This project was super easy and fun!

These are the baby shoes. I made the blue ones first and if you notice the wraps are going the same way. They are supposed to go in opposite directions but I didn't notice until I was done and was too lazy to fix it. Didn't bother me that much.

Hi! I'm Melanie. A craft addict whose time is tragically restricted by school. My husband Andrew got this site for me for Christmas and unfortunately I haven't done anything with it until now. I won't make any big promises. I am currently mostly a copy-cat crafter, but am trying to branch out and create on my own. Check back to see my latest projects.

New Gifts. New Treasures. New Ideas.
