So what do I do? Go crazy cram crafting! I made all this in less than 24 hours. Excluding the lion which I had made months ago and just didn't have anyone to give it to until now. I went shopping for the materials and sewed everything the Friday before the babyshower. Which was hectic. My little sister, Jessie, and I had to leave that friday afternoon to drive the 4 hours south to where my sister lives. That cut my time even more.
Last month my older sister had her baby shower, along with her younger sister. (Sort of confusing I know.) They had a joint babyshower since they were due so close to eachother. I was super excited. I always love the chance to make things for people. (Oh and of course for having a new nephew on the way! ^_^ ) But, because at that time I was working 60+ hours a week between my two jobs, I didn't have time to actually make anything. :(

Happy June everyone! : )
This past month has be super busy for me. Working both jobs and over 60 hours a week leaves little time for much of anything else. I apologize for the lack of posts. A lot has been going on the last month. I was getting myself prepared to become a Vegetarian again. A few years back, when I was in high school I made the decision to be a vegetarian. My poor mother was the one who had to come up with meal plans for me and now I sort of feel bad putting her through that. It's not easy I am finding out. So this past month, I have experimented in different recipes I could use to make sure I get enough protein and other nutrients. That is the reason last time my doctor took me off my vegetarian life style. I was too active and couldn't keep up with what my body needed to stay healthy. This time around it will be different. Here it is! Finally!!! :D The tutorial for the snuggly blanket I make. I made one two years ago and everyone keeps trying to steal it or comment how snuggly and soft it is. Always hinting that they want me to make them one also. I use mine everyday. I love how soft it is. Now that all my craft supplies are out of storage, I dove into this project today. I picked out this fabric months ago. I was so ecstatic to finally use it. It's a beautiful combination.
I just realized that it has been a whole month since my last post. I need to get on the board for March, so I went through a whole bunch of older pictures. I came across a couple more older projects that I did. I am running out of projects where I have at least two or three pictures though. So bare with me if the pictures aren't as pretty. I know I've said this before on other posts about my past projects. A lot of these older ones are just pictures I took for myself, never planning on actually showing them to people or using them for my blog. They aren't really pretty. But, I thought I would share them now anyway. :)
This is one of my all time favorite Pinterest finds! That was my end result of the very first clothing item I sewed myself! It was so easy to make, not to mention adorable. I came across the tutorial on Pinterest and was like, " I can do that!" This Big Oak Tree's tutorial on how to make this skirt is easy to follow and understand. She does an amazing job giving enough pictures to follow and all the instructions make sewing this skirt effortless. She has a ton of other tutorials you should check out too. I love her blog!
The planning for the tutorial on how to make my awesome cuddling blankets has been put to a halt, once again. Since I haven't put out a craft post in about a week or so, I went digging through old projects and came up with this idea. This post is a look at past blanket projects I've done and actually finished. ^_^ There are three different blankets I am going to write about and show. One, is a hand-made chenille blanket. I followed a beautiful tutorial on how to make. I'll share the link to that later. The second one is just the plain baby minky blankets. Lastly, I'll show you guys the semi-quilted baby blanket I made as a custom order for a family friend. I actually found a lot of pictures on all these projects. :)
