the goods

so this doesn't look like much but it has taken me hours to finish each of these projects. the one i am most proud of is the flannel board, it was the quickest but i was intimidated by the idea. i have been wanting to make one for a while to use for family nights and also just for erik to learn and play with as he grows but was scared to do it. it was easy and i am lucky enough that i had the visual aids already i just needed to adhere flannel on the back of those. i would still like to make some fun felt things like shapes and backgrounds, maybe some bugs, dinosaurs, vehicles or something that isn't so church related for the fun times. but i am just excited it is done. i made the board pretty big but it could be made small like 12x12 or 8x11 to fit in a child's lap. i actually may make a small one for in the car since everything around here is such a drive.

i also make file folder games and paper dolls which was totally fun. and then a felt doll. i definitely want to try out more dolls and see if i can get better at them and will probably make a one eyed monster one for erik. i have been having so much fun crafting. i am hoping to work real hard on a scrapbook and then get some crocheting and knitting done. i have thus far only knit and i cant do more than scarves but i have a dvd to teach me to crochet and i am hoping to venture a little farther with that to make more than just scarves.

if any of you have ideas or links to other handmade items, please share!
