SO many ideas! My Pinterest is blowing up! I love the idea of taking old frames, possibly painting them and putting in free printables (Ex: You are my sunshine) printable and hanging it on the wall. And I totally want to make adorable headbands if I have a girl!

If we have a girl I want to make headbands as well

I used to be pretty good at making baby quilts but its been a long time since I've done one and I don't have a sewing machine so idk if I will make one even though I really want too!

I've already got at least one piece of artwork that i will be making for the babies room. I'm also throwing around the idea of making the bedskirt and blanket for the crib.

If i have a girl i will definitely be making her a tutu!

As soon as my MIL finds out that we are pregnant we will get an influx of cross stitch, quilts, painted figurines and knitted items. We do not have any children yet and we already get all of these things, so I will leave the crafting up to her

I am SO not crafty, but I am going to try! I have found a few things on Pinterest that look easy enough! My MIL is a knitter, and I get a shawl or sweater every Christmas, so I have no doubt that she will be knitting things for our LO.

I have a ton of ideas. The problem is finding the time! I'd love to make blankets and if we get to cloth diaper, make some diapers, hats/headbands, upcycled clothes, etc.

I wish I could knit, but alas, I cannot. I do crochet, and have been trying to finish baby blankets, hats, booties, and toys. It doesn't help that my 19 month old likes to help me crochet by taking my projects and pulling them apart, or sticking the hooks in the couch, LOL... She is a goof. If I had time I would want to create artwork, and other decorations for the baby area (no room for a nursery), but with 2 kiddos and school starting in the fall there is no time...

scrapbooks of the pregancy and baby book, I will probably make some of the hats, other items depend on my energy level and time with all the other little ones running around.

I suppose I could finish the crib quilt I started when I was pregnant with Mary and never finished while I was pregnant with Lucy...

I make EACH of my children a baby blanket that is theirs. Most of them are still around but not all of them anymore. And for the last couple I've made crib quilts because I never find anything I like.

I also make my own nursing pads, baby slings, and baby wipes.
