I have to admit that for the last couple day I have been going to blogs and trying to get ideas of what my next project can be. And you know what i have decided? I should give up. How these women can create these amazing purses, and blankets, and baby outfits, and bibs and birthday party favors and birthday cakes is beyond me! They have more talent in their pinky toe than I do in my whole body! And you know what, I was perfectly content with my lack of craftiness until my cute friend Brit got me hooked on it! This is all her fault! Yes that's right Brit, if you are reading this, I blame you! I was happy living my life thinking that i would just buy everything i ever wanted. Now, i feel like i need to make them! I need to make cute baby bibs for my friends, and blankets and onesies, and flowers headbands and baby dresses, and redo my towels, and make a cute new shirt for myself! The list goes on and on!!

Maybe i just dont have faith that i actually could be good at this. Maybe i am secretly an amazing homemaker! But you know what is holding me back?? Its pretty big.... I DONT HAVE A SEWING MACHINE! Lame i know, but when you are thinking of all the great projects to make, they usually all require a sewing machine. The other thing... is money. I could be coming from left field here, but i am pretty sure in order to make all these projects you need fabric. And last time i went to the fabric store i was $80 poorer and i still had to MAKE the project! Could i leave Nordstroms and buy whatever i was trying to make with that $80? Maybe.

But there is a sense of pride showing off something you made, or thinking to yourself "I am amazing! I made this! " I want that feeling... i may have become addicted to it.

O what to do, what to do do dooooo.

My friend Brit is super crafty and yesterday she invited me over to make home made baby towels. I was a little hesitant because that sounded like a lot of work, and I did not inherit my mom's craft ability. Brit assured me it would be super simple and easy and best of all CHEAP! So after work, i went and bought my materials and went to brits. Here is my sure cute baby towel.


I picked yellow, because it was gender neutral. Try to imagine this on a cute little 3 year old.. Eric was trying to pose :)

We even cut out the duck and sewed it on. All in all, Brit was right, it was fun, easy and only cost me 7 bucks!! We have big plans for the next ones we make!
