Crafty Pinterest Plans

Who else is obsessed with Pinterest? I can spend hours scrolling and pinning, pinning and scrolling... I have boards of all of these awesome craft ideas that I am "going to do". Of course I'm not going to do them! I'm terrible at making stuff! But at least the idea is there!

Lately I have been thinking that it is about time I actually give something a go... I mean I have almost 4000 pins and I don't think I've tried any of the recipes, organisational ideas or crafts that I've loved enough to "pin". So I created a board of nursery craft ideas as I figure while on maternity leave and preparing for the new arrival I might feel an urge to actually make something! 

I love this idea. Something so simple but (if I make it nice) can be treasured for a long time. I had a look on good old eBay and the wooden blocks aren't too expensive to buy either. This is definitely a maybe.
Ok, so this is a link to an etsy page (more on etsy love at a later date) but going along the same wooden block theme - how cute are these? I've seen a few similar ideas and I think I could do some kind of PVA glue magic with some nice little cut-outs from books or things I've printed online. 
How darling is this? Our nursery colours are yellow and green but the blue would be so cute as a contrast - maybe in a white frame though (I feel another Ikea trip). And all I'll need is just some nice scrapbook paper and maybe a stencil to do those letters... any thoughts on how to make that look as good?

I love this. It is so dainty and cute, and I love that those words have been stamped on giving it that "shabby chic" feel that I am totally obsessed with. I don't have a sewing machine so not sure I'd go about doing that (maybe with some embroidery? I'll have to do a bit of googling...) but this would be cute with little blue and yellow bunting on a white background wouldn't it? Or maybe I could find some cute checkered fabric. 
And finally, how cute are these letters? Looking at them they look far too neat to be something someone like me could make, but if you follow the link to the blog they're from then they actually aren't that complicated. Obviously we don't know what we're having yet, and so don't know what name we're going with - maybe this is one for the future?
