New Hobby??

Since I have been home with Ava I have been trying to think of what I can do for fun that involves me creating something. I don't sew, I dont think I have even sewed on a button, I don't draw, I don't scrapbook, but I do like the idea of making crafts. Mikey will probably laugh when he reads this because I have attempted making "crafts" in the past and it was a short lived hobby. Now that I am not working and I am staying home with Ava, I really want to get into something again. Although I don't have tons of free time, she keeps me pretty busy and there is usually housework to do, I think it is important for me to do something for me that I enjoy. I recently found a blog that has inspired me to get crafty!! http://www.graceviolet.com/ She has the cutest crafts on her blog and gives you tutorials you can follow.

I am thinking my first craft is going to be making some cute flower headbands for Ava ( I ordered some off of Etsy that look super easy to recreate) and then these cute decoupaged notebooks. We're starting off easy! Hopefully my crafting hobby wont be a flop!

Grace Violet is one of my favs and I was going to make the flower clips too! We will have to work on it together- I already bought the button covering kit! :0)
