Projects

With two weeks to go until D-Day and work slowing down I find myself with a lot of spare time. To fill the time I have been creating mini projects for myself. My proudest moment was this diaper bag I made. I found a tutorial online and in about a day I had myself a new diaper bag, complete with magnetic clasps, pockets on all sides, a zipper in the back, and a waterproof lining. Since browsing the crafty blogger world, and believe me, it is another world, I have been inspired to be more creative with my holiday decorations. I found an ugly plastic pumpkin at DI and turned it into a cute little beauty by painting it black, painting some letters and pouring some acrylic lacquer on it to make it shiny. I have also been working on a bunch of Christmas presents for my sister and sister-in-laws, but no picture will be posted as it will be a surprise for them!

I cant believe I have two more weeks until I am a mom. Hopefully she doesnt come too much after that, because I am already starting to go crazy, and I want my body back! hahah
