I'm making three sets of these magnetic felt alphabets..
One for my friend's Lo, one for my LO and a set for my niece.
They're a PITA, but so cute and worth it! My friend gets this first set bc I'm taking it to her when I go to CA. Feel a little bad, because it took about 5 letters before I started getting the hang of it. 
Are you working on any crafts?
Thanks Dina! you're awesome

Can you make letters Q-Z for me? I'm too tired/lazy to finish my batch!

@Mrs. Cowgirl: love the name paintings! You should write a blog on how to do them!

I'm supposed to be knitting a sweater for my daughter... but it's sitting in the corner and hasn't been touched in a while. I need to get up the motivation to finish the project!

I'm designing my first ever iPhone app right now! That's about as crafty as I get...

@Rubies: HAH I need to start teaching M her alphabets.. I will soon! I'm actually thinking about leaving the magnets off of hers..
I told P I wanted to start selling these on Etsy, then he reminded me that we're having another baby soon. I'm gonna be up to my eyeballs in eggis!

admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@Alivoo01: Just a simple app to get a feel for how it all works!

Absolutely nothing right now. It's all I can do to clean the house lol.

Oh I have a couple things!
I want to start an etsy shop so I've been working for a couple months on designing patterns for different stuffed animals (so far I've only finished the hedgehog lol!)
I bought a mens sweater to turn into a cardi: http://pinterest.com/pin/284430532686884362/
And I told my mom I'd teach her how to make my burned silk flowers: http://pinterest.com/pin/239676011389202755/
Oh, and similar to Mrs. Bee. I'm working on a binder. I want to make a project binder for LO. I am always finding amazing projects for kids, but he's only 5 mos, so not old enough for them. I don't want to forget about them though, so I'm going to start printing them off and storing them in a project binder divided by ages. I'm super excited!

@chopsuey119: They look so good! I bought foam letters to teach DD the alphabet, just as good right? Lol.

@mrbee: Oooh practicing for making a HB app in the future perhaps?
I just finished making Blurb books for all of our vacations - they came out great! Now I want to do one with our wedding pics since we didn't get an album, but there are over 700 pics and it's overwhelming!!
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
ugh I have a to-do list a mile long!
-figure out the audio and port forwarding on the foscam camera!
-finish organizing all my photos on my computer and getting them OFF the computer onto discs
-making a binder of all the magazine articles I want to save, so I can ditch all the stockpiled magazines around my house

Right now I'm working on some wall decals and some yarn wreaths for my daughter's nursery. Hope they turn out ok!
@andrea: We have foam letters for my LO too! We teach him his letter and #s during bath time. He knows all of his #s and his alphabet from A-S. Still working on T-Z. For some reason I can get his best concentration during bath so bathtime = learning time.

Right now I am working on sewing curtains for my living room! I am also in the middle of a HUUGEE cross stitch project that I have been working on for over a year! I'm just about 1/4 of the way finished with it. But I'm so determined to get it done so I can start a new one

@banana: cool! you'll have to show us a pic when you're done!
Someone else told me that they teach letters and numbers in the bath! Our baths are so short so I'm not sure that will work. I have them in the car and we do it then. Oops, I don't have any numbers, though...will get some!!
coconut / 8299 posts
@andrea: Yeah, something about bath time really makes him focused! I grab each foam letter and stick to the wall and say the letter. Then I put them all back in his tub and say the letter and make him hand it to me. It's actually pretty fun but it does make the bath session longer. The car is a good idea too! I may need to buy another set for our car trips!
GOLD / wonderful coffee bean / 18478 posts
@banana: see, it's a good thing ours are foam or else you wouldn't be able to get them wet in the bath! hehe.

I have a blanket that I am knitting for LO#2 started but not far along and still need to knit DD another blanket since in a last minute gift panic I gave away the one I had initially knitted for her (she had never used it and my SIL had made her one that she used once we allowed blankets so she doesn't miss it).
coconut / 8299 posts
@andrea: Exactly! hahaha. Oh, you know what? We can probably buy another set and stick magnets to the back of each one and use them on our fridge! Lately my son has been obsessed with fridge magnets so I may have to do that!
GOLD / wonderful coffee bean / 18478 posts
@banana: DH was JUST telling me that we should buy a magnet board for DD because she would enjoy that. Magnets don't stick to our fridge so we would have to buy something. How funny, we're doing the same things!

I love hearing about everyones projects
I am trying to catch up on all of DDs scrapbook pages before the new baby comes! I am doing my pregnancy/baby showers in 5 pages, 1-2 months as one page, 3-4 as one page, & so on. I have to make another trip to Hobby Lobby to get more supplies & I also need to print more pictures out.
coconut / 8299 posts
@andrea: How funny! I guess we experience similar things since they're the same age. A magnet board is a good idea though! I'm sure your DD would love that!
