Inspiration...

My friend Stacey was quite the crafty person and because of her and her inspirational blog I decided to try some things I have never done before or things I haven't done in a long time. It's been a fun couple of weeks and I feel so proud that I accomplished everything I set out to do. I still have a few projects in progress and plan on doing more. It's been really fun. Check out what I've been up to:

Made Skirt and Apron for this years youth conference trek

I didn't want to spend $40 on a watch like this so I decided to make my own. I've made three so far. I copied these from one I saw at a craft store. The one on the left is now hanging from my front door. My mom taught me how to crochet, it's been a long time since I've done it. These are washrags I gave as a gift.

Apricots were a plenty on my parents tree this year so now we have our bounty of Apricot jam. Oh yum...anyone want any? We made over 80 jars this year.

And I had to include Awesome. He's always an inspiration! This is him swinging for the first time.

More teeth. You can't see the top. He actually has 6 with two more coming through.

And now he's drinking water from a cup. Oh, how they grow.

Hope you've been inspired to try something new. It's so fun and it feels so great! Happy Crafting!
