Blessings Blocks

I gave these a shot after seeing this on Pinterest:

I made them for my mother-in-law, since she has six grandbabies!  It turned out alright- good enough for a side gift at Christmas, just for fun.  But I'm glad it wasn't her full gift or I would've felt bad; the letters got a little crooked, trying to make them all fit (they were taller than I thought)!  Still fun to practice wood crafts, though.

Infant Carrier Canopy

I've made three of these, but forgot to take pics of the first two before giving them away.  This one is VERY busy and bright (by request of the gift recipient), which makes it difficult to make out in the picture.  It's folded up ready for gifting, but you can see the straps that will velcro around the carrier handle, and the peekaboo window so you can see baby inside without lifting the whole thing.  The peekaboo window gives a  glimpse of the interior fabric.  Gifted to Leah Brown, December 2012.  Here's the tutorial I used:
