Baby Steps, So To Speak
So, 3 weeks after Leah was born, I've made my first attempt at craftiness.
I've had the instructions for this origami Christmas ornament kicking around for 3 years. I've made a few tries to fold it over that time, but they all ended in frustrated crumples of paper.
This one was 90% done in December, but has been waiting for the last few steps (the ones that always fail me, incidentally) since then.
Today I managed to take it to completion, which involved taping the two halves together, making a hanger, and gluing the gathered ends up. I'm really pleased with the outcome, and simply thrilled that I was able to do something crafty again!
This craftiness brought to you by the heretofore undiscovered combination of Boppy and swivel chair. No babies were neglected in the creation of this craftiness...
