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:


Tree Skirt

Well, here was my first sewing project with my new sewing machine.  I think it turned out pretty well.  I got a yard of this fabric for $5 and then my grandma had a yard of white muslin that I used for the under side.  What do you think?

it was pretty easy, didn't even follow a pattern...

Here it is covering the stand.  I was surprised that it turned out so small when it looked so big, but it works:)
Total Cost: $5.33
Total Time: 1 hour
