Hi all! I'm still here. Thank you so much to everyone for all of your well wishes and welcoming words and gifts for our Little Miss Chelsea. She is 6 weeks now and I'm finally beginning to find my way out from under the incredible yet very demanding first weeks of a baby's life. I have a quick moment to post while Chelsea is (finally!) taking a nap. I wanted to show that I'm still in the crafting game. These are a few projects I worked on prior to Chelsea's arrival. Above are some cupcake paper flowers I made for our kitchen table centerpiece. So super easy and fun.
I needed a new wreath for our door and was looking to do something quick one day after work. I bent some wire and ripped some fabric scraps and came up with the above.
And finally, my greatest project to date - here is a photo of Chelsea enjoying the lovely weather we were having a few weeks ago - she has already changed so much since this photo!Love you all.
She is precious as are your projects!!!! Happy May Day as a new Mom!
