Crafting

So basically lately I feel like I might as well change this to a crafting blog, because that is all I have been doing with my life, and the only picts I have to post. Ha ha. And I would much rather write about crafts than all my Dr apps. :) 

My sis-in-law Alyssa is having a boy  and is due just 3 weeks after me, so she is having a babyshower while we are all there during Christmas. I decided to make her a diaper/wipey case for her to put in her diaper bag. I used some leftover fabric I had and added a cute little owl that I found at Hobby Lobby. How do you think it looks? I'm hoping not super homemade, but too late now to change it! :) 

I also made a carseat cover that will keep baby girl warm during the horrible Utah winter here. Pinterest gave me an easy pattern, and I changed it up a bit because I wanted it to have a flap down the center so I could peek in on her without having to pull the whole thing up. The inside I used black minky fabric, and I just want to snuggle with it. So soft!!

Almost all of the gifts wrapped and under the tree. . good thing too because Christmas is only a week away now. Crazy! 

Not Crafty but I had to throw it in there, Carter's "Cars" collection. I think it is getting out of control. Every holiday for the past 3 years now everyone gives him different cars that they have found, and we only fuel the fire and found 3 new ones that he doesn't have for Christmas this year. ha ha. 

Picts from Instagram

This is how Carter watches TV lately, right next to me, holding my hand. Now if only he would hold my hand while walking so I can keep up with him. . .

Carter built Kenna a tower, and put it on her crib so that when she comes home from the hospital it will be waiting for her :) 

First snow of the year. 

Wal-mart was giving away Minion cupcakes. Made his day. 

30 weeks!! Only 10 or less to go!! Woot woot. 

Drinking a baby starbucks while shopping. Love their hot cocoa. 

Christmas tree!

Finally got the tree up. . and it is extra bright this year! Yeah. Brandin wants me to point out that he is extra secure in his manhood to have such a girly tree in out apt :) lol

Christmas decorations are going up!

So I'm really behind since it it almost the middle of December, but my table is finally decorated. Yea!

Ward Christmas party

Bishop asked Laura and I to decorate/set-up for the ward Christmas party this year. We decided to do a candy cane theme, with lots of red and white stripes. I was a little nervous halfway through making everything, because it didn't seem like it was going to go together very well, but once it was all done It turned out a lot better than I was expecting! (I hate prego hormones lol) The nice thing is that Bishop had it catered, so we only had to take care of decor. I wanted to do a little something different this year, and Brandin thought of doing a s'mores bar. I thought it would create a really cool atmosphere, and my hubby is amazing so he built me one! What a keeper :) Here is the finished product. . . 

What you see when you first walk into the gym

Laura spent who knows how many hours wrapping boxes for our centerpieces, didn't she do such a good job?

Not a very good pict, I guess I moved when I took it, but didn't realize it and this is the only pict I got that showed the fire in the s'mores bar

A closer up shot

The caterer had some amazing desserts. I wont lie, I took 3 because I couldn't decided. The key lime pie was the best!

People hanging out. . 

Everyone roasting their s'mores

Brandin and Tyler being goofy

I forgot to take a pict of the pretty present display that Laura put together on the stage until it was already being taken down, but even all messy I think it still looks great!
