This morning I woke up with an overwhelming need to post on here. So, here I am! Apparently, I'm not very good at breaks. I'll be the first to admit it. But man, did the break (however short it may have been) felt pretty dang great. I even started crafting again. And, that's a big deal, amirite?
Here's a little update on me--Then, I'll post a craft! It'll be just like old times.
-I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my baby gal. She'll be here any day! Okay, well she'll probably be overdue, but I am pretending she'll be here tomorrow because it helps me get through the day.
-The Fairy Blogmother is going really well. Best "job" ever.
-We finished the nursery a few weeks ago. You'll definitely be getting the rundown on that sometime soon!
Um, pretty sure that's the entire update. Nothing makes a girl feel more boring than trying to type up an update and realizing there's nothing to write about. I need to get out more!
Okay, so now! On to a craft. Can I apologize in advance that most my crafts will probably be baby related for a while? Okay, thanks!

All month, I had been browsing Etsy for a cute handmade mobile for over E's crib. They were all really cute, but they were all sooo expensive. I just couldn't justify paying 50+ dollars on a mobile. So, I decided to take my favorite pieces of each of those mobiles, and make my own. And boy am I glad I did. Because look at this sucker.
I love it so much. And, get this. It only cost me $4.95 to make! Say what?
It was so easy to do. All I needed to do was punch out some circles, poke holes in each of them, and link them together using jewelry circle things. Sorry, I have no idea what they're called. The hardest part of this project was figuring out how many circles of each paper I needed. I'm bad at math, remember?
Speaking of the paper, I am in love with it! The chevron paper especially. It almost makes me want to be a better person.
I decided to go with double sided papers (minus the gray) because I didn't want it to be all white when it was moving around. They were a bit more expensive, but I love how they look together.
And, whoa. What do ya know? More pictures.
One more, for good measure.

Welcome back! Love your little project, perfect for a nursery and neatly done. I love it when somebody puts an extra effort in- as in using jump rings (the circle thingies lol) rather than just sticking the paper to some thread!

Okay. I know I mentioned it in the last comment, but I LOVE the mobile - I had a feeling you made it - I'm thinking I might borrow your idea... What did you hang it with? Just two wooden dowels?
