Crafty Madness

I don't think I am crafty. I can duplicate, but not create. And then it came to me that crafty and creative are different things. I'm not so sure now, but here are some things that have eaten large chunks of my time before the holidays and are to be resumed again now that the holidays are over.
The Christmas stockings idea I stole from my Mother In Law. I only got halfway done Issac's (the first one shown), finished Wyatt's and Bella's the second and third. Now I get to finish Issac's, start Dakota's, Travis's, and mine.

I made this book wreath for a super Saturday I planned for our ward and another ward's women. Along with this I made a couple of girly embellished headbands and some graphic tees for examples of the crafts and then I made some for the kids and me for fun.

Finally the curtains in this room are done only six months after painting. I searched in vain for months before and after to find something I liked. Finally I just went to JoAnns.com and ordered some fabric that I loved. Two wrong orders later, their fault not mine, I finally got them right after Thanksgiving.

And here is the before and after of a dresser I got from my grandmother. Before no one could agree on the color. We had guesses of yellow, green, brown, tan, khaki, etc...I was pretty sure that if I couldn't name the color I didn't want it. So I redid it a cream color with a raw umber glaze. It turned out awesome and now I just need to finish the night table just like this one. And then I have another dresser and night table for Wyatt's room. I may do those in black though. And I also want to paint his room gray/silver. And I want to do a glazed texture on the family room, dining room, and kitchen.

Well the ideas and projects never end. But they are fun while I am doing them, well most of them!
