Kari Thinks She is Crafty

I have always kept myself busy with school or a job so staying home all day has been a big adjustment!! However, I am taking up some new hobbies thanks to some inspiration from a friend. First, I am trying to use my new sewing machine so I made us stockings for Christmas and then some blankets for Parker. I found some really cute fabric at a local fabric shop:



I also enjoy making cards. Here are some of the ones I just made:



Next, I made a wreath similar to the one below. You can find instructions on how to make it here.




My latest project is this cute skirt that I found here. Hopefully, Emma (my niece) loves it!

Kari, the skirt is adorable. You are going to love the world of sewing. I used to sew alot when Amy and Ella were little. I love it, because you are creating something. Happy Sewing~!

Kari What cute blankets. I like the prints for Parker. And your cards are so nice. I like birds. So does Aunt Carol. Have you seen her bird plates in their piano room? Good going. Glad Parker and Daniel got their ski PJs.
