Baby Crafts So Far

I braved the task of recovering my car seat.  It took me a while...many late nights, and no naps because once I start something I want to do it until it is done.  It took me about a week, but I got it done.  Here is the final product with a canopy and head rest to match.




It took a lot of time, but for the most part it was really easy.  I had to do my own thing for parts of this project, it was really easy though.  The hardest part was probably the canopy, but I am so glad that I did this. I think it is just adorable.


The next project was the swing.  I have seen some really cute swings out there and I asked Ben if I could buy one...he said no, why don't you recover the swing too...SO I did and I am so glad because now the swing and car seat match and it was so much fun to do.  The swing took me about 2 hours from start to finish and I didn't even have a tutorial. Here is the final on that...


Now on to the boppy pillow and putting the finished crib sheet on the mattress so I can take a picture.  I am trying to get some of this stuff done now while I am still semi-comfortable and it is not blazing hot outside.  It will be nice to have everything done for the most part and then I can enjoy time with my Braeden boy while he is the only one.  It makes me sad that I only have 3.5 months of him being my only baby.  While at the same time, I am so excited for Braeden to have his little baby brother and a good friend.

WOW! Those look amazing, I didn't even know you sewed. I'm always impressed by craftiness, since I'm so lacking myself. I'm sure your baby will love them!
