What I'm doing instead of cleaning...

Photobucket

I've been trying to teach myself a little bit about Adobe Illustrator by turning this wall-hanging I made for Avery's room into a pattern. When I made it originally, I had a vision of what I wanted it to look like, but no pattern...so I made one--which was by far the most time-consuming part of the project. So, I thought I'd try and lay it all out in a PDF and see if I could sell it on Etsy. It should be in my (empty) shop in the next few days. If Avery will ever take a nap that is.

So how full of myself am I that I put my name on the cover twice? Yeah pretty full.

  3. It's so cute, I love that tree! You're so creative! I made this diaper/wipes/changing pad travel fold-up thing the other day. After I was done I sat down to write out the instructions. It was so hard! I couldn't remember what step I did fist, etc, and of course I didn't write down the measurements of anything, so I finally gave up on writing it down. Oh well. But writing that down would be nothing like what you're doing. It's quite the task!

  10. You are my freakin' hero.

    And also, do you think that would be masculine enough for a boy's room?

    And also, don't forget to add that cute ball on your "Make this with me" list.

    And also, you are my freakin' hero.
