Crafting In Winter

As the weather cools (although it was 70 degrees today it should cool down and start raining this weekend) I always feel the need to start crafting. It seems I start all these wintery crafts around November, but store them away when spring comes around which leaves me with half finished projects for the following November. I just can't get myself to stay indoors and knit when the weather is nice. A few weeks ago I went to the closet and pulled out all my crafts from last year. Now that Kaylee naps a little better and goes to bed earlier I am able to have a little alone time in which I can work on my winter projects. In just the past two weeks I finished knitting a stroller blanket for Kaylee (which was almost finished so I had very little left to do) and I finished sewing a floor blanket that I meant to finish before she was born. I am currently in the middle of making Kaylee's stocking since she needs one to match the rest of the family's stockings. I hate the shorter days and the rain, but I love crafting.

Any other crafty cysters? What are your favorite winter crafts?

    1. I like scrapbooking too! I should try scrapbooking pics of Kaylee, but I have so many I don't know where to begin. Eeek! I still haven't jumped on the Pinterest train, but everyone loves it. I joined, but never get on...I am worried if I get on I won't ever get off! And I love sewing so much! I hope you enjoy the lessons!

  2. I'm there with you! :) Usually I sew in the warmer months and knit & crochet in the winter months, but this year has been kinda crazy so I haven't done much crafting at all. However, I'm gearing up for lots of baby crafting this winter... I just started knitting a lacy blanket for her baby blessing (the Mormon version of christening) and I am going to be doing a lot of crafts to decorate the nursery!

    1. Oh, baby crafts are the most fun! Everything in my daughter's entire nursery is pretty much hand made by me. So much fun!
