Fall Crafting...

So its finally my favorite time of year!! And I've been in the mood to do some crafting!! Something that I really been into lately is crafting with wool. I love it. I dabble is some needle felting crafts, but I think my favorite thing to do with wool so far is make "Wooly Soap" as I like to call it. Its a very simple craft and its so much fun! My latest "Wooly Soap" is this lovely plum and lavender colored soap. It took literally 10 minutes to complete. My little Liam is showing it off for me in the picture below. How cute. (oh and it smells really yummy too.....)

Now even though I'm not sure how often we are going to cloth diaper the little one we are expecting.....I still thought it would be a good idea to have a nice stash ready just in case. So I've sewn 2 more diapers to add to the collection. Its a very nice diaper pattern that I purchased on Etsy and I hope that when it comes time to use them, they will be perfect. Its a very versitile pattern. No serger required, no velcro, no snaps, no elastic, NOTHING!! And there is no wrong way to put this diaper on. (In other words, no front...no back). And because its fleece...its snappiable. Oh and I turned these ones into pocket diapers so I could stuff them with a regular burp cloth. I thought these would be really nice on a newborn especially. Here are some pictures of my latest 2 diapers below.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!! God Bless.

I might be a beginner, but I think this is pretty good...

As some of you may already have read, I have been working on my needle felting skills and this little lady is my most recent finished project. She's only about 4 inches tall. Its my best work yet!! I still don't know all the techniques, but I'm learning by trial and error. Its very relaxing for me and in the end my child has something soft and natural to play with (although I havent let him do so much as briefly hold this one....I'm too proud of if to let him start tossing it around right now...haha). She is suppose to be a pregnant gnome, but the tummy is a little hard to see in my opinion (something I will have to work on), but all in all...I'm happy with it. Let me know what you all think!!

Also, Here below is a half quart size mason jar full of homemade laundry soap (Fels-Naptha, Borax, and Washing Soda) Very simply to make and I really like using it!! I'm just wondering if it will be safe to use on cloth diapers when my little one makes his/her entance into the world!!
