Curley's Crafts and Creations

So all growing up my mom made jam. I have tried store bought, and just don't think it is as good. Now that I am "grown up" I figured I should be making it myself. So we went and bought strawberries and ate some then made jam with the rest. (We went to Costco and got their 4lb case for 5.99) I got about 9 out of that. Not bad.

Then I have made St Patrick's and Easter decor. I am slow posting but here is what I made with Easter first:
These blocks are ones I have posted about in the past, but I add some letters and have TONS more words I can do. I will have to re-post about this later :)

And here are some wood eggs I painted then mod podged some fun spring paper on the front. I then inked the edges, and am trying to decide if this is okay or if they need a little more.

Here is wood that spells eggs. I painted them, I put painters tape on so I could do the different colors and not have transfer from the other colors where I did not want it. Then I just add a little bling for fun.

Here is the St. Patrick's stuff. I have 1 3x6, 1 5x6 and 3 4x6 blocks that I painted the edges that would be showing and mod podged fun green paper on the front. Then I cut out vinyl with my cricut and put that on. I still want some bling and just need to do it.

This is a fun hat, but it actually goes with another thing I have, but since I live with mom and dad and don't have it totally done I just displayed the hat.

These fun shamrocks are from wood too. I painted them then mod podged the paper on them. I distressed the edges with ink and thought that was good.

Here are the letter blocks spelling pinch me. I love them and am so glad I decided to make them and add more letters.

So that is what I have been doing. I have a few other things I am still working on, and I think after I am done I will find more I want to do. That is the great thing about crafting, it is never ending, of course that can be bad too :)

Some cards I made on our craft night (Thanks Cole for instigating this) it was so much fun to giggle with my sisters and mom. Of course Kade was just as funny to talk with too. Guess you have to be one of the girls Kade. (Kayce you are always welcome if you are in town :D)

















Then I was having cravings and want to make cookies, just not the usual ones. Then I remembered I had some cream so I made soft molasses cookies-YUM!!

And here is a gift I made for my cousin that just had a baby.
Birp Clothes

Diaper holder

Wipe case

and a Hooter hider that doubles as a carseat cover. Hope it comes in handy. :)

Well that is about it. I have a few other things I am working on STILL. When I finish them I will post pictures.
Happy Crafting

I was so shocked about a week ago when I check my email and saw that I had sold something through Quilted Bear. It is the first and only thing I have sold so far, but hey ya gotta start somewhere right?
I was not able to get pictures of the latest project, but luckily it was for my little sister so I will have to get pictures later and post. I made her a Hooter Hider (I LOVE this new name) which doubles as a carseat cover, a diapee and wipee case and 2 birp clothes. I have not finished the last of her gift (and she does not know what it is and since she reads this I will not be saying what it is :D) I am hoping to finish sooner rather than later, and since she is due next month I have a deadline :O. Don't worry I will get it done.
Other than that I have not been doing a lot of crafts, but that will end as the same sister wants to have monthly craft nights. So at least once month I will be crafting (thanks for the kick in the butt and help to do this). I am SO excited and have SO many project I want to do so this will help so much.
