Got them at the shower </p> <p>Okay maybe I'll do a boppy cover then :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682350 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:37:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 682350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Great idea on the toddler towels. We needed these really soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682347 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:36:03 +0000 Chillybear 682347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a quick project that i've made as baby gifts.. good if you've got a lot of scraps. </p> <p><a href="http://thelongthread.com/?p=7952" rel="nofollow">http://thelongthread.com/?p=7952</a></p> <p>Unfortunately the original blog is no longer accessable but its a 6 ft tall growth chart. each of the 6 "squares" are a 1"x12" solid and a 10"x12" solid with 12 1" squares. 1/4 seam allowance. is backed with a print and quilted with 1" lines. corners are 6"squares folded on a diagonal to hold a dowel rod at top and bottom and then the whole thing is bound </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682346 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:35:58 +0000 mediagirl 682346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: do you have more than one boppy cover? I had a spitter, I NEEDED two. :)</p> <p>How about a toddler-sized hooded towel? Baby towels only last for a few months before they grow out of them. </p> <p>I love the idea of a shadow box. I still want to put one together for M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682310 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:22:08 +0000 blackbird 682310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed! I've done a TON of relaxing the last week+ and i'm so over it. I haven't worked out in a week, my house is clean, I have nothing to do! I'd visit a friend but she's getting over the flu :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682304 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:20:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 682304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I also wish that I had set up a filing system for her and all her documents and art work. Pinterest has a lot of cute ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682291 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:15:22 +0000 heartonastring 682291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I hear you on being prepared. Today was my first official day of mat leave and I didn't know what to do with myself! </p> <p>Of course, in mere days/weeks we will be very busy, so everyone keeps telling me to savour this time and relax, but relaxing is boring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682269 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:02:29 +0000 blackbird 682269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo a shadow box is cute!</p> <p>I do sew! I should have clarified. i sew/quilt/knit....</p> <p>I have a ton of burp cloths....I do have a super cute boppy cover already. It has pink and green giraffes on it :P</p> <p>Darnit why do I have to be so prepared, ha. I don't know what kind of craft I want to start....just something to keep my hands occupied </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682254 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:56:54 +0000 heartonastring 682254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very non-crafty so my craft project is to paint the wooden wall initials that I bought (we got one for our boy name and one for our girl name). One of them will hang in the nursery as part of our gallery wall, but obviously we won't know which one until baby arrives. I'm painting them white with aqua edges (I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682246 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:52:02 +0000 delight 682246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you sew? I've been making burp cloths and they don't take too long to make! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682245 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:51:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 682245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a shadow box set up for the baby hospital items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682243 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:50:40 +0000 Boheme 682243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen some really cute mobile tutorials on Pinterest if you don't already have one! I'm making one I saw that uses felt circles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682241 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:50:17 +0000 looch 682241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Custom boppy cover! It was one of my last crafts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-for-one-last-craft-before-baby#post-682227 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:47:12 +0000 blackbird 682227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think i'm going to pull the plug and start maternity leave Wednesday (i'll be 40 weeks and 4 days). I need SOMETHING to occupy my time.....</p> <p>Suggest a craft for me! Nothing too crazy time consuming, but something that I could at least get started on/keep me from getting stir crazy and watching too much Law &amp; Order! I've already made the baby two quilts and I'm working on a scarf right now that will probably be done very soon. </p>
