I've gone crafty


With the new semester I've decided to use my wide expanse of time during the day to do something useful (besides sleeping in and watching Hogan's Heros reruns). These are easy projects and would probably take no time at all to do. Though Kendyl helps stretch the time out with only a few minutes here and there....so here's what I've come up with so far.

These are wood cut outs with scrap booking paper on top.
Kitchen curtains made out of 2 tea towels (this is the kind of sewing I can handle).
And remember these pillows. We got them when we got married and they've gone pretty flat since then.
Well I stole some stuffing from some other pillows and re-stuffed them and covered them in some fun fabric. Since we have such a hodge-podge of furniture I figured I would just do the same with the pillows.
So flip them over and ta-da!
Also I found this mirror at DI. It was green and had a birdhouse in the corner. I sanded it down and took of the birdhouse and glued the glass on the edges. I had a few other ideas but none turned out. Still not sure how I feel about it though.....
That's all. More to come later...maybe

Can't wait to apply the mix-match pillows to my own mix-matched house. Cute material.

Wow! I am really impressed. I need some lessons on how to be crafty. Maybe you could teach me sometime.
