I have to say that even though having a baby is a lot of work, I am finding myself with lots more time on my hands. So what have I been up to? CRAFTING!!!
Several crafts have caught my attention; using freezer paper to stencil on fabric is one of them. Luckily, this project doesn’t take much time, and I can do a little and come back to it later, which is key when caring for a newborn!
I’ve made this onesie for Caleb, a t-shirt for Matt, and decorated a pillow (photo coming soon). I had initially intended to sew on the design, but I ended up painting it because it was much quicker and easier.
There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, I found an easy-to-follow tutorial here.
Did I mention that my husband is wonderful to have around the house, among his other talents? He promised me that he would help me organize my make-up drawer, and yes he did! My make-up drawer was a mess for some time, as you can see, 
and I was just itching to do something about it. Since it is a tiny drawer and I hadn’t found any suitable containers that were reasonably priced, I designed my own system.
It took me some time to figure out the exact measurements, because I wanted everything to fit just so. I drew it on a piece of paper, and then Matt cut out the pieces I needed from an old piece of plywood we had laying around. Someday I may paint the wood and put down a paper cover in the bottom, but this is good enough for now!
I am happy with the results, and this only cost a little bit of time. Thanks honey!
