Craftiness

I am SO proud of myself! I have been doing more crafty projects around the house to take up the free time in my life. Because I am just substituting, free time is rampant at the moment.

My biggest project at the moment is making a blanket for Joe. It's going to be a crocheted afghan that looks like an 8-bit Mario (the one that looks like it's made up of a bunch of squares... refer to the picture). It takes 252 squares... and I have made about 6 of the squares so far. Maybe this will have to be a Christmas present. hahaha.

Another project that I have been able to do is to make a jewelry board to hang up in my room. The earrings can hang up on the fabric, and the hooks will hold some necklaces. I made the whole thing myself, and I'm pretty proud of myself.
And last, but not least, I made a menu for Joe and I to use. It really didn't take long, and I bought most of the supplies at Dollar Tree (frame, crayon boxes, and clothespins). The papers that I used are ones that I already had. What can I say? I'm a teacher, and I have some cute stuff just WAITING to be used!

Well readers... what should I do next? I am open to suggestions. One of the only things that limits me is that I do not have a sewing machine. We need a few more things in our apartment before we can think about getting a sewing machine. If you are on pinterest, follow me and we can share ideas!
