Project Galore

Having this blog has been a great way for my to continue creatively expressing myself.  I have always enjoyed looking outside the box and designing things.  I have not made frequent posts lately, but I have been working on some hefty projects.  I am a little in over my head on the amount of unfinished projects, but hopefully that will change. 

Naming a few:
Started a tee-pee with my niece and nephew 
reupholstering a side chair for our back porch
reupholstering a wing-back chair (friends)
making pants for Nolan
painting/decorating my husband office (my crafting area)
painting the garage and organizing shelves for a sense of unity
photobook of Nolan's life so far (www.mixbook.com)

Teepee: (inspiration)



ideas from bohaute and kaboodle

Side chair:



Wing-back chair:


Nolan's pants:







Husbands office/ my crafting area: See soon
Garage shelving ideas: see tomorrow
And of course, the mini crafts/thrifty finds along the way:

found this mini record player at a thrift store awhile back






better homes and gardens idea with color 





I finally organized my fabric and the remnants

old mail storage I found in college. my solution for the extras

from etsy: sorry I do not remember the source

Why anyone would do this to themselves is questionable.  This mainly means I have issues; I have a goal of not starting anything new until I finish some of these.  Some fun ideas for the shelving issues you may have...tomorrow. Off to work during prime napping time. bw

Think.Design.Cut.Sew.



Vintage inspired overalls made from Derek's old and comfy dress shirt.  The material is super soft and breezy.  Wish I had a pair.
Hope no one looks too close. I am not great at the detailed work, but it's fun to design clothes for Nolan. 





Have a wonderful night!bw
