I thought I'd share some of the crafting creations I have made lately. My big project was a set of nesting blocks that I made for Anouk's birthday. I started well in advance, not sure how long this would take me... But it was so much fun, that I was actually very motivated to work through all the blocks very quickly to see the final product together.
The pattern was posted from Oh Fransson, posted on Sew Mama Sew. I used up some scraps I had from clothes I made for Anouk, so the blocks will always remind me of this summer when I discovered the beauty of fabrics and the joy of sewing clothes.
It's a whole new world out there for me and I am having so much fun with it!! It's so relaxing to be sewing in the evening. I can think about my day, my daytime projects, my worries etc. and at the same time I am creating something beautiful.
I have learned to read patterns and to follow patterns. I have learned to trust whoever made the pattern and follow their instructions - it somehow comes together at the end. :)
So, to start off my crafting parade, here are the blocks. I'll post some more projects over the next few weeks as I have time to photograph them.

Wow, they're so great! You are a true crafting inspiration. I've just started knitting a cardigan and beanie for our little one (a big challenge for me considering I've only ever made scaves before!) Wish me luck!
