Remote Stand

We've got a lovesac downstairs and we watch movies down there sometimes.  Well, we just don't have a stand to put our drinks and remotes on...until today.  I figured out the dimensions and asked my wonderful grandpa if he could make me a simple 16" box.  I bought a can of red spray paint at Walmart for less that $2 and spray painted it.

Now, we have something the perfect size and height for our drinks and remotes :)


Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes (includes drying time)
Total Cost: $2.22 

 

headbands

So, Blake was working tonight and I felt like being a little crafty.  I had some scraps left over from my quilt and thought, hey-why don't I make some headbands out of them...

Well, here they are.  I did have to buy some elastic and JoAnns, but it was still a quick and cheap (and fashionable) little sewing project.

Total Cost: $1.50 for elastic
Total Time: 30 minutes

Finally...the quilt

I finally finished the quilt I've been working on since my birthday.  My grandma and grandpa helped me with the last bit...and I absolutely love it.  I have used it every night since I finished it:)

Here it is:

At a Stand Still

I'm at a creative stand still. 

The holidays were a whirlwind and have left me wondering what to make next.

I still have to finish my quilt(s), but after that I've got nothing new to work on...

Any ideas?

Please share!

A few more pillows...

I went on a sewing spree and made a few more pillows:

I was having fun.

Total Cost:  $8 (I bought those little squares for like $1-$2 each)
Total Time: 20 minutes

What do you do when church is cancelled...

SEW!!!
I was on a roll today!  Here are the projects I got done:

small & simple pillows out of some extra fabric

same pillows, reverse sides

rice bag...a friend had some great smelling essential oils and my mom-in-law had the rice
So stoked to use this!

the lap quilt that I've been meaning to work on since my birthday!

So, there you have it!  I'm so excited that I have those two cute little pillows and that rice bag.  I've now got to find a border and back for my quilt.  It really didn't take me all that long - surprisingly! 

Total Cost: FREE (my grandma bought me all the fabric for my bday)
Total Time: a few hours (to do everything, probably 4 hours)

Laundry Shelf...Finished!!

I finally got around to finishing that laundry shelf that's been looming over my head for the last month and a half.  I mod podged the fabric onto it, then bought a few bins at Dollar Tree and added some fabric to those.

Here's how it turned out:
