Can we do a babycrafts show-off thread?

Thread Starter 
I know there are lots of babycrafts going on, from scrapbooking to knitting to sewing to photography! Please share!

In addition to my ongoing quest to sell one of a kind pouches and hats, I made my first MT tonight and am dying to show it off, and I want to see what everyone else is making, too!

My 1st MT: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...s/1stmt2sm.jpg
My website for pouches for sale: www.pollywogpouch.com

So, whatch'all doin?

Very cool. The MT is great! I am making my first MT tomorrow. I went and bought strap material today. I haven't done ANY scrapbooking since Louis was born.: I'm in the process of setting up my NEW, awesome crafting area though, so watch out!

Very nice

I just ordered Kienan's scrapbook and am looking forward to working on it once I get DD's up to date. I cleaned up my area last week, Kienan has begun napping alone and I am ready to ressume

Magpie those look awesome! I want one of your pouches!!

As far as crafty things I have done nothing since Nate's birth. I am just starting a mini-album of our Paris trip last month, so I'll be more behind than ever with the boys' books.
I can only show off pages from Ryan's scrapbook, since I've only got a half dozen of AJ done, and Nate will be lucky to still be living at home by the time I get to his!

And as for sewing, knitting and the like...never in a million years. I am apparently severely handicapped in this department. I can't even sew on a button! Maybe when I become a grandmother some day I'll have to go take a sewing class . Unfortunately I skipped 8th grade when they offered home-ec.

Right now...I cook. I can show off cupcakes, quiches & sushi...all vegan though.

For all my complaining, I think this thread is a great idea!!! I can't wait to see what everyone else can do!

Wow Magpie!! I've not done anything so ambitious. I made my friend's dd a doll for Christmas, but I forgot to take a pic of it. It was a basic baby in a bunting shape. I made it out of fleece and fiberfill left over from other projects. I think I'm going to make a wool one for Ian to snuggle and chew on. I've got leftover chunks of a sweater I felted last year for a purse I made. If I get it done I'll post a pic.

I am soooo jealous of you crafty mamas! I don't have the space or the gear to do stuff like that. Some day, I hope!

Okay! The Mai Tei is done! Now I just have to get pictures of it. Dh liked it so much that I am making him a "Man Tei" out of Denver Broncos fabric!

Wow magpie! I'm so impressed! No babycrafting here...I'm lucky to get a journal entry in every few days (which don't make for good photos ), but I'll look forward to seeing other mama's efforts here!

those are great, Magpie, and I love your site!

I'm actually working on opening a store (bricks and mortar and online, too) that sells baby carriers...maybe I could sell some of yours?

Art as Food

As I said, the only creative stuff I've done lately is cooking, like sushi for a playgroup potluck, and A.J.'s 3rd birthday cake.

I HAVE THAT SAME FISH TRAY! Have I told you you're my soul sister? Man that food looks yummy!

The "Man Tei" is done. Unfortunately, Louis was sound asleep when I finished it, so I haven't seen him in it yet. I want to wake him up, but I won't!

Krista,

That sushi looks great! What do you put in yours? I usually do cucumber, but I've done carrot and green onion (not together, lol). I'd love more ideas.

Jesamin, Your knitting is soo adorable!!!
