No Excuses

I can't believe how fast the year came to an end. It has been way too long since I blogged. Instead of trying to post all the things on my list of things to post I figured I should condense it or it most likely will be Spring when I get to posting about 2010.

Some of my favorite projects of 2009:

Bird Mobile for Lucy. She loves it. I love it. I really loved making the birds. I did get frustrated with balancing the mobile. I had horrible flash backs to making a mobile in high school physics class. Luckily, Dan knows more about physics than me. He saved the birds from flying out the window. You can get the pattern here.

Quilt for Lucy. This is the first quilt I have made. I really loved making it even though it turned out to be completely different than the quilt I had pictured in my head. I owe a big thanks to Mandy, Rigel and my mom for their help. Lucy loves it. I am excited to try another one.

Diaper Cake for my cute twin nephews. This was really fun to make. I found my tutorial here.

Pine Cone Wreath. The kids helped me gather the pine cones. I thought it would be a really fast project. I would describe making the wreath as a really difficult puzzle. I would guess it took about 6 hours not including gathering all the pine cones. I am just glad I love how it turned out. I found the tutorial here.

That's all I have for tonight. I am hoping to post some pictures of the kiddos tomorrow.

Love your projects. They all turned out amazing. When I saw the picture of the wreath, it made me want to go gather pinecones in my yard - until I read how long it took to make. Now I'll just admire yours :)

I haven't heard from you in forever, now I see why...you crafty girl you. And P.S. I am SOOOOOO impressed by your mobile. My mouth dropped open when I first saw it...I thought to myself, "how did she finally figure out how to balance the mobile?" we failed that project in high school...good thing for husbands!

It has been forever since I have really been on here. I LOVE your stuff. They turned out so great. The quilt is so cute, and I am excited to see the next one you make. I think Oran might need one. The birds are so cute too. I am glad you have Dan to help, I would have probably just thrown them in a basket and told everyone to just play with them.
