Past Projects

Whenever I start a new project I have high hopes of posting it on my blog but something always happens and I either dont like the finished product or I completely forget about it. So..here are some of the things that have been occuping my time.

This little man of mine got some new ties and bowties a couple months ago. I went through all of Danny's old ties and picked out some that I liked. I found tuorials online that required no sewing....because I do not have any space for a sewing machine as much as i WANT one!

Ok..these did require sewing. My mom helped me sew the fabric {thanks Wendy!} last time we were in AZ. I love how they turned out and they were perfect for Fall.

My sister and I made matching dresses! My mom used to dress us alike when we were little...why not now?! So we stayed up way too late one night cutting, pinning and sewing in her craft room. I don't have any close up pictures but you can see how it turned out. Its probably the most comfortable dress I own.

This was our first Christmas of staying in New York and our tree was pretty bare of ornaments. So one night on Pinterest I saw these and ended up making them right then. It took me about an hour to make all three and i love them!

Painting this dresser took way longer than I planned. I spent three days working on it. Our bedroom was off limits to Merrick per our last episode with paint...that was fun. Anyways, this project had been on my to-do list since the day we moved in and I am happy that it is finally done!! Now that it is white, it makes the room seem so much bigger.

And last, I caught the coffee filter fever! When I saw a friend had made this wreath I ran to the store to pick up a wreath form and coffee filters. I have to admit it took a lot of filters and I burned my fingers quite a bit with the glue gun but I love how full and big {and cheap} it is! Its survived a lot of smashing from Merrick, coloring from his friends and poking and fixing from me.
