Attempting To Be Crafty

There’s something about fall that makes me want to be crafty.  Every fall, without fail, I want to create.  Don’t get me wrong, I try to be crafty all year long but I’m not always successful.  Maybe because it’s cold outside

This year I’ve mostly been about hair bows for Munchkin.  I bought a few from locals at vendor/craft fairs.  While they weren’t super expensive, they do add up.  Not all of them are difficult and I knew I could make some.  So my mom & I have been experimenting and it’s been a lot of fun.  Korker bows are my favorite to make.  I’ve been trying to branch out and try other kinds too.  I need more practice but some of them aren’t half bad, if I do say so myself. 

Many Waters Recent Crafts

I’ve also been in love with turkey’s with ribbon feathers.  I got the idea to make a turkey wreath after seeing Fran’s ghost wreath.  Mine’s a little busy but it works for me.  I’m not a wreath person so this was a big deal for me.  Since I love the turkey so much, I also made a shirt for Munchkin with him on it.  He’s a little big but I still think he’s cute.  I made the shirt a 2T.  It’s a little big this year and I’m hoping it will still fit next year.
