Not a thing a day but a lot of things nonetheless
I've been inspired by thing-a-day but can't quite keep up. Am very happy with the things I've been doing and thought I'd share some...
Well first of all for any that remember the tattoo that huck designed for me, she did it when I had 3 kids. I had to get little Z added on. If he was at the end of the toy line he'd be way in my armpit
Also, he's not adopted and his fate is still kind of up in the air, but he's still my baby, so I wanted him a little different.
Voila! My little whirlwind. This is when it was brandy-new, it's not so red now!

(Oh and for the curious, the rest of it when IT was brandy-new:


Here's some seed paper. I've wanted to do this for awhile. It's made like recycling paper (equal parts ripped up paper and water in the blender, then hand mix wildflower seeds in, spread on screen, push/roll water out, let dry for several days) When it's dry we'll make cards that people can plant.

Here are some gift bags made out of an old cool calendar and some ribbon that came tied around my new comforter:

And this fabric I got at the thrift shop, made these skirts for dd and her doll. We want to dye them red.

This isn't all of it but enough for now! And I've been inspired enough to invite some ladies over in a few weeks for a night of crafty fun. Thanks Mercury for helping me fuel my crafty fires with the thing a day challenge!

I especially love the gift bags! I have never ever thought of that and I LOVE pretty gift bags! but I never buy them!! anytime my kids get a gift wrapped in a gift bag I always save it and reuse it, but I rarely buy the big ones because they are kinda pricey. Now I see I can make some, yay!
The skirt for your baby girl and her doll are so nice, well done! and I think the tattoo for baby Z is so sweet. On the seed paper, that is a neat idea also. Love it!

What a fab idea! thanks for sharing all this!!
You are so awesomely crafty mama!
I love your tattoo. so sweet to have all your babes on there : )
The seed paper, the bags AND the skirts all rock!
and your girl looks like she rocks too!
and if you don't mind me asking, how is everything going in terms of Z staying with you? you are one BRAVE mama to be so patient in your waiting.
Thanks for the update.
: )

I know, when the gift bags finally occurred to me it was like DUH!
And really, all I do is take an interesting piece of paper and wrap a box (cereal or pasta usually), leaving one end open. That top end that's open gets hole punched and ribboned. So easy.
