Things I've Made (So Far in 2012)

I have a Cricut, but have barely used it (due to my lack of cartridges). It was my friend, Stephanie's, birthday in January and decided to give her a vinyl to put up on her wall. This was my first one and I was very nervous. But it turned out fine and she really seemed to like it! 

Earlier in January, my stake had a Super Saturday Relief Society Activity. It's a morning full of classes about everything. They had craft classes, cooking classes, home enrichment classes - that type of stuff. It was pretty cool. I went with my friend, Kailyn (thank goodness she's in the ward!) and we ended up going to a felt pillow class. It's a tiny pillow but it was fun to make. It doesn't really match with my apartment, but I do love the color purple! It was fun learning how to make the flower. It was pretty therapeutic. 

Like I mentioned earlier, Nina's birthday was on the day of our anniversary. I didn't know what to get her and finally decided to give her some decorations for her apartment. She had mentioned that she liked The Family: A Proclamation to the World that I had, so I made her one too. I've lost count of how many of these I've made. They're so nice, cheap and easy. I love them so much! 

Aren't they cute? 

So since I practiced my vinyl lettering with Stephanie's gift in January, I gathered up the courage to try making a sign. It really wasn't that hard at all. I'm just a chicken. I'm scared of dimensions, proportions, and having everything centered. I'm not good at measuring things. But it turned out better than I expected.

Now that I feel more confident with the Cricut, I might start investing in more cartridges. I want to make a sign for our apartment about family. Hopefully, I'll get to that soon!
