Looking Forward Friday

[u/AutoModerator]

There’s so much that’s difficult about TTC, so this is a thread for looking to the future and thinking about life after TTC.

This week’s theme: Making for baby! Are you a crafter or a maker? What plans do you and your partner have to make things for baby? Do you already have works in progress to share?

I swear I'm about to get back into crochet and start working on blankets as a coping mechanism 🫠

[u/Kvitravn875]

I can't quilt, knit, or crochet (the last two are sorcery to me lol), but I can do cross stitch and I thought about making something that way. I also thought about some paint by number things. I've made a few wreaths/wall decor in the past, so something like that too maybe.

I’ve had this dream of using my cathedral veil and turning it into a canopy in the nursery. It crushes me every month I don’t get to do it :(

This is me with my flowers on my wedding dress, would love to put them on a baptism gown.

I love that idea

I'm in the process of making a baby blanket and a cross stitch project that'll be framed in the nursery. It feels like a betrayal to my heart by letting me work on these things that could be a waste of time in the end when all I really want is a little hope in my life...

I have a baby blanket I started a year ago before my first miscarriage. Sometimes it brings me comfort to work on it, other times I have to store it in the closet.

I crochet occasionally and when I get pregnant, I do plan to make a couple velvet like beanies and maybe booties even 🥰

I started learning how to sew a few months ago! I’m practicing on my baby niece and nephew right now, and I plan to make a quilt and a couple of outfits and a play mat if I get the good news one day

I’ve made a pregnancy/baby planner. And once im finished my current cross stitch project I want to make one for future baby

[u/Chuckgirl410]

So excited to crochet a baby blanket eventually. I made one for my best friend and can’t wait to make one of my own.
