Feelin' crafty...

So here is what I have done in the past few weeks:

I read Confessions of a Shopaholic.
I read Shopaholic takes Manhattan.
I read Shopaholic ties the Knot.
I read The Time Traveler's Wife.
I read The Actor and the Housewife.

I babysat for multiple people.

I helped my kids with their summer schoolwork that I so kindly bestowed on them.

I did laundry, but did not iron, so therefore I have a nice ironing pile waiting for me.

I started a Facebook page, not sure what I think about it, but it's fun to see old friends on there.

I forced my friend to let me and another friend help her pack up for her move.

I gave some much needed cooking lessons to my very young, but dear friend!

I wore my new THE FRAY T-shirt not once, not twice, not three, but four times since the concert. (I may have to post a picture!)

Last, but certainly not least.....
I got CRAFTY!!

This is big for me since I am so far from crafty! Luckily this craftiness was helped by an idea on a website. Here they are:

A little Giraffe!

The Giraffe and (anorexic) Elephant!

Back side is MINKY! (so soft!)

I made these for my friend's little girl that just turned one last week. I LOVE how they turned out. I even had to draw the template by myself. Even though the elephant is anorexic, I don't care! I'm also going to make a couple tote bags this week. I'm in a sewing mood!
