keeping the creative juices flowing

Just a few things of the things that have been keeping me busy during nap time:

I made this pink party skirt, and it turned out nothing like I had hoped, but I lalalove these pictures of Hazel.

Super easy peg-legged owl

I've been on a doll quilt craze. They are super fast (I love a project that can be finished in two naps) and a good way to practice quilting. My plan is to make matching pillows. Can't wait for Haze to be old enough to use these!

Camera strap that I made a while ago during an enrichment night. Love it.

A few friends and I have made these earrings in every imaginable color. I wear them with everything!

My newest quilt, front and back. I just pulled it out of the dryer and I'm in love.

My first free motion quilt. I made it ages ago, but never took a picture of it until today. It was also my first attempt at a binding, and it went very wrong. Oh well.

I just didn't love the bulletin board I made for the nursery, so here is my do over.

And last but not least, hand stamped necklaces. This is my new favorite project, I've even thought about selling them, they are so much fun to make. I am wearing one that says "Hazel" and one that says "I&S". Aww, cute.

What kind of machine do you have? I have attempted free motioning a couple of times and it just never turns out!

Super impressed! Being a SAHMommy suits you very well, my dear! Love your necklace! I have looked into that stuff. Looks fun and my boys would have a blast! I think you should sell them for sure! And...don't even get me started on those stinkin' cute doll blankets. Haleigh is just entering that phase! I love that elephant fabric! You must share where I get me some of that!

My wife loves your necklace and said if you decide to start selling them that I need to buy her one. Let me know if you do.

I found your blog through Google Reader, you know, recommended feeds? Anyway, my husband and I are also starting the adoption process WAY over on the west side in Arizona. I am inspired by your lovely story of Hazel (and also Kate). I wish you the best as you prepare to become an eternal family.
I have been looking for the silver pendant necklaces and the rose earrings. Can you let me know where you found them or how you made them? To answer feel free to comment on my blog.
THANK YOU!

Sara! Can I commission a necklace? Seriously. I can't find your email address but I really want to have you do this!

I was just looking on Etsy and I only saw one lady that does these. . . you need to do them!
