Troll around

Hi I'm not dead, I promise! I am getting over a cold... still, hecking up a lung and trying to finish knitting the back of a sweater that I've been working on quite some time now; say about a year. I took it w/ me to my trip overseas last year and this year I'm not wearing it, so I really need to get a move on.

Meantime, I was just trolling around, and found this. Their captions are just hilarious and they found some pretty obsurd crochet stuff. Go look!

Diaper Wreath

Last time when I made a diaper cake, I followed this video. It worked out ok, but I will say that unless you tied the tier very well, it will come undone, which it did for me on the way to the shower.

But when I was surfing the web some more, I found these diaper wreaths. I thought it's the cutest thing ever.

See, told you it's cute. I used the tutorial from Jennifer's blog and I just glued each of the diapers on. I wrapped the ribbon around couple of times, just because I have left overs. I also got a little beanie baby to go with it.

The Mommy-to-be loved it, and as far as I know, it's hanging in the baby's room. I'm sure it serve as a good emergency diaper stash in the event they need it in wee hours in the morning. For the leftover diapers, I had an activity in the baby shower that guests can draw on them or have funny sayings. One thing about that activity, definitely use Sharpie and not markers. The fabric the diapers are made off, doesn't take on markers very well.

p.s. here's another tutorial that I found helpful.
