Picture wall

I have been humming and hawing over what to do with this long empty wall in our kitchen.  The plan that has been going for a few months now was to make it into a 'family tree' / picture wall.  I knew I wanted to use the tree canvas' I had made a while back but thought it would be too many large items for the wall.  I found a way to make it work though.  This isn't finished yet as I have more 4x6 and 5x7 photos to add but this will be the centre of it.  I'll post when the rest get put up as well.

the photo is crooked, not the pictures ;)


I am going to add black/white/tan frames to keep with the colour scheme and once all the pictures are up I will be adding some vinyl wording.

I bet I finally get it done just before the baby is born then I will have to get new family pictures with the baby to make it 'up to date'.

Mostly done these projects... I had a productive week, and then a not so productive week.

Plans...

I am determined to make each of these before Christmas.... here is to hoping that the 'morning' sickness wears off quickly so I can get at it.

The fall crafts that got pushed aside:

A similar wreath

FALL blocks that will be like this... but not like this (you will see)

For Christmas:

 Cookie sheet advent along with at least 2 more advent calendars (something from my childhood).  I am pretty much obsessed with counting down to things... really everything, but Christmas is my favourite.


 Treat jars for friends that will include the glass etching hopefully!


hmmm... what else.  I am making my family an FHE board for Christmas.  I have name blocks to do for a few friends babies and hopefully some awesome baking. I'm pretty stoked about it all... and I think up endless ideas as I lay 'couch bound' for an indefinite amount of time!

Oh please, please let me feel good enough to craft :)

Van Gogh!


Amazing I know!  I actually didn't make this.... Hailey and her day home friend E did.  They are pretty talented ;)

This was our first experience with finger painting.  It was VERY controlled as I didn't want to clean up an insane mess.  It went fairly well but I think I won't do it till next summer... on a hot day where I can stick them in the swimming pool to clean off!
