I've been busy!

I think my nesting is taking the form of crafting. Sure, it would be nice if it were more along the lines of cleaning and getting ready to move, but I'll take what I can get. I've been really busy making all sorts of fun stuff lately. Check out all the projects I've been working on!

Here's the progress I've made on my cloth diapers: 9 pocket diapers, 4 fleece covers, 10 wipes, and 3 more covers cut out just waiting for elastic and velcro.



As far as Halloween/fall decorating, I've been crocheting up a storm. Here's two new pumpkins, a white pumpkin in the works, and a jack-o-lantern garland.


Last of all, here's Thomas' costume that I just made today. He's going to be a Jedi, so I bought an old sweater at D.I., cut it up, and sewed it into a Jedi robe. Unfortunately, Thomas apparently hates it and tears it off immediately as soon as I try to put it on him. Tough, kid - you're wearing this robe on Halloween whether you like it or not!


Jeff and I volunteered our van for the stake trunk-or-treat this Saturday, and I've decided to decorate the trunk all in pumpkins. Hence all the pumpkin crocheting. So I'll likely be crocheting a few more pumpkin things between now and Saturday night. Since I'm the one with the big belly, I get to sit in the van and hand out candy while Jeff takes the kids car to car collecting more candy. So I'm going to be dressed like a pumpkin - I got an orange sweater at D.I. and am going to draw a jack-o-lantern on the belly. Should be fun. Then, as soon as Halloween is over, it's back to making diapers! Yeah, I think I'm having way too much fun with all of this.

Lots of crafting, for sure! I'm excited to see that white pumpkin all done!

I saw your 'I've been busy' and I was suddenly so excited to see what you've gotten packed/unpacked/decorated, then rememebered that you're not moving in just yet. Oooh, the wait!

Love the garland, way cute idea! We're assuming our ward party will have a trunk-or-treat at the end, but somehow have missed the announcements each week regarding the event. Won't it be a kick if we've got all this candy and we don't end up handing it out?

I haven't checked blogs in so long, but it was fun to read all your latest and everything you've been up to! Congrats on getting in your home - that's so exciting!! You're going to love the space - can't remember, what city did you move to? Way impressed with all the projects you're doing, amazing. I love the faces on your garland, so cute!!

We'll still be in Salt Lake, just a different area.
