My second is due in September, and I’ll make him/her one, too! </p> [attach=8882/18/p3hc7z.450x600.CF606BA6-6930-4C20-8535-46F19E35AF46.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801328 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 11:21:41 +0000 cyntist 2801328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cnidaria: That mobile is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801248 Thu, 01 Feb 2018 08:54:59 +0000 Lahela017 2801248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cnidaria: Wow, I'm even more impressed! Thank you so much for posting those links! I think I'm going to copy your idea and make a similar one with those sea animals you posted and a couple I've done before. I've done a fair amount of amigurumi crochet projects, so I think I can tackle it. Now I'm really excited, this is going to be fun!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801181 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 20:57:11 +0000 cnidaria 2801181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@greencraftycello: @crazydoglady: Thanks :</p> <p>@Lahela017: Thanks! It's sort of a mix and match of patterns plus my own design.</p> <p>The pattern for the blue fish (I added the side fins and used two colours) is here: <a href="http://suviscrochet.blogspot.ca/2016/11/sea-life-blue-chromis.html" rel="nofollow">http://suviscrochet.blogspot.ca/2016/11/sea-life-blue-chromis.html</a></p> <p>The pattern for the starfish is here: <a href="http://greatamigurumi.blogspot.ca/2015/07/stella-starfish.html" rel="nofollow">http://greatamigurumi.blogspot.ca/2015/07/stella-starfish.html</a> but I made it slightly bigger with longer arms</p> <p>I modified this pattern for the octopus and jellyfish: <a href="http://blog.mohumohu.com/post/117524437877/amigurumi-octopus-pattern" rel="nofollow">http://blog.mohumohu.com/post/117524437877/amigurumi-octopus-pattern</a> and I think I also made them a bit bigger to match the scale of the mobile. I just added some tentacles to the jellyfish and gave the octopus individual longer arms instead of the ruffly looking ones the pattern has.</p> <p>The sea turtle I actually designed myself, but if you're interested in the pattern let me know, I'm pretty sure I wrote it down somewhere when I did it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801151 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:55:38 +0000 LemonJack 2801151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made baby quilts both times I was pregnant, and I made burp cloths and changing pad covers while I was pregnant with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801148 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:51:04 +0000 catgirl 2801148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: thanks! I started with a canvas, I used a yardstick and pencil to draw the lines, then used small brushes and paint to fill them in. The lines aren't perfect but I have come to love that aspect. So easy to do with a little patience.</p> <p>I got the idea and how to info from the blog young house love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801115 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:09:02 +0000 pwnstar 2801115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: Is that paint/stencil--how did you do that? It's gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801086 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:39:16 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 2801086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my first a mobile and I stamped some burp cloths for her and I made a ring sling. For this one I plan to make more burp cloths and I’m going to recover a chair for the nursery. I’ll make another ring sling or two as well. My MIL and sister both made my first quilts and I’m expecting at least one of them to do that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2801037 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 11:43:01 +0000 Lahela017 2801037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cnidaria: I love this!! Great work!!</p> <p>I crochet too, and have wanted to make a mobile when we have a baby. Do you still have the pattern/know where I could find it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800966 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:42:25 +0000 crazydoglady 2800966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cnidaria: So adorable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800899 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 16:14:10 +0000 Ms. RV 2800899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was soooo close to making a quilt during this pregnancy because I couldn't find any bedding I liked. Then I did so I am off the hook! I love sewing but I have a hard time carving out time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800895 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 15:56:36 +0000 rattles 2800895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a mobile and a stocking for mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800884 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 15:34:49 +0000 codeitall 2800884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't smart enough to start while I was pregnant, but I wish I had... I designed and created a felt Christmas stocking with lots of cool embroidery on it for DS. Based on this but with more embroidery instead of layers of felt. </p> [attach=7499/18/p3dyi1.316x600.bd984a3c9934d680fbffe93171f3c555.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800785 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 10:49:33 +0000 greencraftycello 2800785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Those rooms are so sweet!

I used the bear and the bunny in their weekly and monthly baby photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800762 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 10:07:22 +0000 MaryM 2800762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I crocheted a blanket. But then I had to clean out my craft room to make it the nursery, so I put myself on a yarn diet and didn't buy anything else to make. </p> <p>But my sister made a crib quilt and I've asked her to make a mobile. And I have four or five blankets from when I was a baby that were handmade, so there's plenty to pass on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800754 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 10:01:27 +0000 jennlin821 2800754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not crafty at all, but I wish that I was! </p> <p>Have you thought about sewing your own cloth diapers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800747 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:58:12 +0000 cnidaria 2800747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned how to crochet while I was pregnant and then went to town... lol. I made a fuzzy blanket, a ton of hats, and a stuffed giraffe. My favourite crochet project was a mobile, which I actually didn't manage to finish until after my daughter was born, but I love how it turned out. I need to think of a new theme for a mobile for the new baby I'm expecting now! </p> [attach=7234/18/p3dix0.400x594.seaMobileHanging_small.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800738 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:48:34 +0000 Littlebit7 2800738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made cookies for myself..lol. But seriously, I have no talent for stuff like that although I envy those that do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800736 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:36:54 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2800736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my own taggie blanket, and crocheted a blanket for my daughter while pregnant. I actually worked on the crochet project starting the night before my positive test, I got a feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800733 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:26:13 +0000 looch 2800733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see, when I was pregnant, I made my own Boppy pillow, painted a series of sleeping animals on canvas and then handpainted a typography alphabet right on the wall over the crib.</p> <p>I left the knitting to my MIL, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800732 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:25:48 +0000 josina 2800732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For each LO I did the artwork for their room (watercolor paintings), and their mobile. DS's is little felt animals and DD's is a doily on an embroidery hoop with lace/fun ribbons cascading down.<br /> I 'commissioned' my MIL to blankets for them that match.</p> <p>Here's a crappy phone pic of all of it: </p> [attach=4677/18/p3dhf0.600x320.Screen-Shot-2018-01-30-at-8.23.24-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800727 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 09:07:13 +0000 greencraftycello 2800727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: Love the colors!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800721 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:47:12 +0000 MamaBear87 2800721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made my lo a crib sized quilt. She loves it and it's the perfect size to take on trips </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800720 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:43:51 +0000 catgirl 2800720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too lazy to open DD's blackout curtains so this picture is a little dark. But I made this for DD's room when I was pregnant. I also knit a small blanket but it's packed away. </p> [attach=6706/18/p3dfh3.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800717 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:20:52 +0000 bhbee 2800717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and her friend will already make a quilt and a crochet blanket! And another friend makes Easter baskets. I have made my other two Christmas stockings - pieced and quilted the stocking and done some cross stitch for name and decoration. So I’ll probably try to get some of that done this summer, except we won’t have a name until the baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800709 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 07:51:58 +0000 jhd 2800709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first I made a small quilt and burp cloths. I’m 32 weeks with my second so I’m running out of time to make him anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-anyone-making-anything-for-their-baby-while-pregnant#post-2800706 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 07:40:01 +0000 cake2017 2800706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t have that talent haha but if I did I would! Whatever makes you comfortable and I don’t see the problem starting now!!! Enjoy! </p>
