Crafting

Chris started a new job this past Monday and was in Dallas, TX for the week. Travel hasn't ever been a factor in our careers until now. I'm thankful for this new position- but we miss him for sure. Hopefully I will get used to it as time goes on. While he's gone I've had a little of free time to work on crafting (thanks mainly to pinterest) A few short months ago I had never used a sewing machine and pretty much had never bought fabric or anything else from Michael's or the craft section of Walmart-- now these places have become dangerous to me! I've been having such a great time making dresses, bags, blankets, crayon holders, diaper clutches, burp cloths and now headbands! There is something awesome about working with your hands to make something. It's like it uses a totally different part of your brain or something. Thankfully, God has blessed me with two beautiful girls to test all of my crafts on :) I'm looking forward to improving as I practice more and more. Mom always made my Easter dresses as a little girl- while I'm a far cry from that I'm happy to be starting somewhere! Here are a few pictures of items I've made
