I finally made something I pinned!!

After all the pinning of things I want to make, I finally got off my rear and made one. (I can not tell a lie, Bert did most of the work, however it was my supervising skills that got the job completed). The first photo is of the pallet that was turned into a bed tray that I seen on Pinterest. When I first saw it I knew exactly who I needed to make it for!!! So I pinned....and procrastinated...usually my operating procedure..

This was pinned from Funky Junk Interiors..nice huh?

And below is my replica...

I liked it, and Monica (who I had in mind for the project) liked it!

So winner winner chicken dinner!!

psalm 139:14 (everyone should know this one by heart)

I would tell you I messed up the bed for dramatic effect, but that would be a lie...

So I am pleased with this project and I am more pleased that it blessed Monica, I hope every time she uses it she thinks of me, and if she gets a splinter I hope she thinks of Bert....

Happy Birthday MONICA!!!

So since this is done, I reckon I have more pinning to do!

God is Good all the time...

Baby shower gifts

I finally finished all the baby shower gifts, I wanted to do more but ran out of time. I was so pleased how these little mustaches turned out!! They are too too cute. I found this pattern on another blog and I loved the clutch! It was easy to make, but I think in the future I will add more to it. I wish I would have taken a picture of the fold out pocket that holds the diaper and travel size wipes, but I forgot... I used the mustache undies to decorate the solid white box, which held a couple more tiny outfits. Over all I was happy with my little creation. More important than that, the soon to be Mommy was happy and that is what I was shooting for!!

I dont know why I like the mustaches....I just do...too much of one thing is never good....

The whole package...the print in the picture frame I found on Pinterest, I love the prayer....( which says.....I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him..1 Samuel 1:27) the green thing in front is a baby sling I made, and then topped it off with some rolled up undies!! Baby gifts are soooo much fun to make!! Oh well.....until my next post!!

Cheap Fabric Organizing..

I am NOT an organized person on the outside, but on the inside, I sure do want to be one!

My fabric has really gotten out of hand and it has been bothering me like a sore thumb every time I look at it. I found some ideas on the internet and while they were good ideas, they were not very cheap...and as most people know...I am cheap.....(not ashamed...)

So If you are cheap, like me, you will love this idea.

step 1.

Have your side kick (in this case it was my husband and my mom) help you collect campaign signs, MAKE SURE YOU WAIT TILL THE ELECTIONS ARE OVER OR YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE!

step 2.

once you have collected your signs you can begin cutting them. All the signs were 24" wide which is perfect, I cut each sign 8" wide, which means I got three pieces out of one sign.

step 3.

after all your pieces are cut, you can fold your fabric to the width of your liking and begin to roll it on the 8" plastic sign. I used tape to secured the fabric to sign and when your done rolling it, you can either fold the ends like they do at the fabric store, or you can do as I did and pin the end in place.

scraps can even be used.

step 4.

take a step back at your project and give yourself a pat on the back for having one thing in your life organized.....I did....(great things are achieved with small steps)

pencil pouches

These are a couple of Pencil Pouches I made the girls for school...aren't they cute? I know they are a little to old for me to be making them stuff like this, but I cant help myself...they are still my babies (wether they like it or not)...

you cant tell it too good in the picture, but one side is ruffled and the other has an apple on it...

And I also drew that apple on a sheet of paper and cut it out on fabric, so not only am I a seamstress ( is that how the heck you spell that??) , I am also an artist.. . bet you didn't know that....that just adds to the list of hats that I wear, along with the electrician and carpenter (just ask Bert).

I just learned to sew a zipper on, so I might have to make them some more stuff they don't want...

Cant wait to see what I find next to make...

Wonder if Bert would want one of these for work? ha ha

Another Happy for my Mom for Mothers Day

this is something else that I seen on another blog, that I thought I needed to make. I dont think that the pictures does it much justice, but take my advice.....it is extremely cute....

Its a counter dish towel for your dishes to dry on, it's not something you have to have, it's just one of those things that is nice to have...

Making this Mothers Day a handmade one...Mom's love that kind of stuff..

Burlap Wreath
