Crafty Post that was promised long ago

Long ago, back in December, I promised a crafty post. I am so sorry I am just now doing that.

Now, I am not incredibly crafty. I have friends who are MUCH craftier. But, when I try, I am crafty. When I hosted Natasha's baby shower at my house back in December, that started me on my crafty streak. The quality of this picture is awful, and I apologize, because I still had my old iPhone.

Here it is...I wrapped it in yarn. My friend Susan (who is way craftier than I) made the flowers, which are hair clips for baby! And I added the "Welcome" and painted it.

I caught the bug and wanted to make one for Ryan's Memaw, cause she is very crafty, and I thought she would like it. She also loves Christmas, so I wanted to make her a Christmas wreath. See below....

(again, not the best picture...)

More recently, my friend Tiffany had a little boy named Jonah. He is so cute! Here is a banner I made for his "Welcome Home Party".
(Can't you see the difference? This is with the iPhone 4)

Here is his wreath, but it had a record in the middle. Don't know why I don't have a picture of the final product. I opted to paint the styrofoam this time, and I ended up liking it a lot! Plus it was easier.

And my most recent project....I am so in love with. My little friend Addi is turning 1! Her mom wanted a wreath and gave me a fabric swatch to match colors. I was going to paint it solid colors, but then I had the idea to paint the fabric pattern (as best I could) onto the number 1. When I was in high school and college, I painted some. But it had been a long time since I had done it, so I was very nervous. And I am perfectionist, so I was ready to run to Hobby Lobby to buy a whole new #1 if needed. But miraculously, it turned out!

So there you go. (I always say that to myself in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding voice at the end of my blog posts...) Do you like the craftiness? Are you a fan of crafts?
