Different Kind of Creating

It has been a while since I have posted here. I haven't totally disappeared off the face of the earth, just been preoccupied. Most of the month of March and April I didn't do too much crafting because I was feeling sick from the other creating my body was doing.

I had to borrow this picture from This Little Project. I thought it was pretty clever.

We found out we are having another boy, due mid October. My boys are super excited to get another brother!

May and June we had a couple big vacations, so I didn't get back into the blogging habit. Now that we have a free summer, I hope to catch up posting the few things I have made the last couple months, and hopefully I can post a little more regularly some fun crafts and things that we do this summer. I made a list of activities and crafts to do with my boys this summer, so I will share some of those. If you want some ideas of the fun activities we have planned, you can check my Kid's Activities Pinterest board here.

Here's a quick craft we did for the Fourth of July. I got the idea here, although I think it was linked to from one of my pins.

Hope you had a happy Independence Day!

Valentines

We had a fun Valentines and were able be a bit crafty with some presents.

I saw this idea on pinterest, and thought it would be fun for my son's Kindergarten class Valentines. We just have the star muffin tins to make the crayons, and we just put them with regular Valentines (that I got on clearance last year!).

The best part was my son was so excited to do his Valentines, he didn't complain about all the writing practice he was getting. :) He even made this card for his teacher:

I made these for my husband and put it in a recycled heart box. The recipe can be found here from Kraft..

I saw these cute origami heart valentines via pinterest, and made a couple for each of my boys.

Two Babies

I had two friends that had babies lately, so I made them both some little baby shoes, my favorite gift for new little babies!

Some baby girl shoes:

And some penny loafers for the baby boy to wear to church.

 A while back, I bought a Groupon to Cherry Hill Designs that I used to buy some iron-on labels to put on things that I make. These shoes were my first chance to use them. They are pretty cute!

Here is the boy's one, although I couldn't quite get my camera to focus on it.
