Now that the 2011 holidays are over, I can share some of the handmade gifts I made for my littlest niece and nephews.

Baby Caroline got a new blanket as well as some iron-on onesies.

Nephews Jack and Matt got personalized coloring books. (I combed their parents flickr and facebook pages, converted the photos with the “photocopy/sketch” filter in Photoshop and got them bound. Crayon rolls made from Baby Bolt.

It was a fun little project making those books.

screenprinting at The Wondercraft

Continuing my theme of dipping my toe back in the crafting waters, post-baby, I went to The Wondercraft this weekend. The have a menu of crafty services you can try – I went with screenprinting.

Step 1 – stock up on cute, colorful onesies to bring in

Step 2 – meet Beth A. at the store

Step 3 – try and decide which of the awesome screens to start with

screen choices

Step 4 – make a whole bunch of outfits

new outfits for Max

Step 5 – pose with finished product when Amy stops by

matching outfits for Orion and Max

Step 6 – plan next visit since screenprinting = instant gratification — esp. when you do it at The Wondercraft.

(yes, they are very awesome – thanks Beth A, Kim and Jen!)

quick crafts

As a new mom, my crafting has to fall into two categories

1) can be done in 15 minutes or less (since naptimes vary)

2) can be picked up and put down over weeks without loosing steam

This weekend I did some easy-peasy metallic iron-ons from JoAnns that fit category #1.

So our nursery for Max is currently an empty room – but I’ve been saving pics of things I like for when we move him in. Some of my favorites include:

1) Welcome Tiny Overlord from Subversive Cross Stitch

2) Admiral Seymour Doughtridge print by Matte Stephens

3) Littlephant Giraffe poster from Huset

look what we made….

Here are some recent handmade gifts:

1) towel for my truck-loving nephew who’s about to start up swim lessons again (and also early birthday gift):

2) One of three shoe bags I made for my mom, sister and sister-in-law as a thank you for throwing me such a wonderful baby shower (I got the slippers monogrammed at Charming Chick)

3) a giraffe onesie for my friends’ cute daughter who lives in Florida

I don’t expect to do much more crafting before our baby is due, so it was fun to share these out.
