So I didn't make my goal but here are a few things I've accomplished!!

So last year I went a little crazy buying a bunch of vinyl projects.  Well as I usually do I have great intentions but don't always get the things done I would like to.  Well I sat down to clean up my craft table the other day and instead of cleaning I ended up getting a few projects done that have been sitting on my table and that is the way I cleaned.  I got those things off my table!!

Love the green and pink on this.  I like that it's not your typical colors!

Here is a cute sign that I wanted for my garden.  Well now that it's all dead it's done but it is ready for next year!!

This is a fun double sided project which I love because you can get 2 things out of it which means less to store!

Very easy but cute project!

Then I did these cute coasters!  Not that we use coasters that often but just in case we want to we have them now!

Then there was this ugly clock I purchased at the thrift store last winter.  HH was questioning my judgement when I purchased it but it was like .50 or something and I had a vision.

I think it turned out pretty cool.  Now to just find a spot for it!

And last but not least, my latest project...

My BSU countdown.  For our church Super Saturday we were making a Days till Christmas countdown and I bought it.  Then I started thinking about how I didn't need one because I have my awesome advent calendar that I made a few years back.  As my girlfriend and I were standing in the coupon line at Walmart we saw this awesome BSU wrapping paper and an idea sprouted in my head.  Needless to say the wrapping paper came home with me and this is what I came up with!  My husband LOVES it and I've had LOTS of interest in it!!

So there is some of the fun I've been having in between Dr appts, counseling appts, volunteering at school, church callings and the kids being on break.  I hope to have a few other things before the month is over!  Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving spending time with family and friends!!

Mod Podged Pumpkins and squash

So now that I am no longer in Young Women's I am on the Relief Society meeting committee and we get to plan all the fun extra activities that the ladies in our ward can participate in.  For October we did a Harvest Mania and talked about why we decorate and how to decorate on a budget and 2 of the ladies decorated a bunch of tables as samples.  They were beautiful!  We also had a table of food that was made from our "Harvest" from our gardens.  They were yummy too!  For an activity we did these pumpkins.  I did mine with my neighbor the next day because we had such a great turn out there just wasn't time for me to do it that night.  I also did those little squash.

I am going to keep them through the Thanksgiving holiday as well!  Those little squash are gonna make their home in a cornucopia!

A few of the pictures I promised!!

As I promised, here are some pictures of what I did.

Here is a highchair that my husband built and painted, I made the little seat cushion to match.

 

This is the bed my husband built and painted and I made the bedding for it.  I LOVE the colors of the fabric I picked out.  I really need to figure out an outfit for Maddie to make out of this fabric. 

The bed plans you can find here

The idea for the bedding you can find here

The plans for the highchair are here

This is our monthly scrapbook club page.  Designed by Tonia Atwood!

You see that awesome shrug, yep, I made it!  This cute girl got this dress given to her but it was not modest so she needed a shrug.  I got the pleasure of sewing it all together!  I also added the black ruffle to the bodice to add to more modesty!  Doesn't she look cute?

So there is some of what I have been up to.  Hope to post some more projects soon, Lord knows I have a long list of them to get done!

A few of the things I've been making

I promised awhile ago that I would show off some of the things I've been working on and here they are!

 This is the towels I made for my card club girls for their gifts for Christmas.  They were much more time consuming than I originally thought!  I got the inspiration here.

This is the scrapbook page we made at Scrap club.  My friend Natalie created this beauty!

Here are a couple of the hair flowers I've been working on.  They are SO cute and the girls are loving them!

And here is the Mrs. Claus outfit I have been working on for a lady.  She is the same one I did the clown costume for.  She is dressing as Mrs. Claus at a senior center Christmas party.

She had this red velour dress she wanted me to embellish with white fur, make the apron and make the hat.  She was VERY pleased with the results!

I will of course have much more to show off with Christmas and all so stay tuned for the next set of things!

Are ya wondering?

I know you might be wondering what I've been up to since I was on quite a roll a few weeks ago.  Well now that fair is over and the kids are in school I've been trying to get some things done for myself now that the kids are all in school all day.  But when I went to the fair last week I stumbled upon a sewing job.  The girls wanted a balloon from the clown at the fair so we stood in line to get one.  Well Kodie was wearing some of the pants I made her and the clown (female) fell in love, asked if I would sew for her, and now I'm sewing a clown suit.  I'm not too far from being done but getting up at 6am has thrown my body for a loop.  I think I am close so when I finish I will post some pictures!

The Bathroom paint is finished

So I finished painting the bathroom today!!  I love small projects that you can see the end of.  I have had paint for my living room for at least 6 mos and still haven't painted because I envision the ciaos that will happen when all the furniture has to be moved to the center and the kids want to go in and out, it's just too much for my brain to take in, but this little bathroom I can do!

So turquoise is a hot color this year and I thought this bathroom could handle it because it has no window so it's pretty dark.  I found an oops paint at Walmart that was just the color I way lookin for!  I love it!!

I hung the medallion I bought a few weeks ago and spray painted, it looks good in there!

My plan is to accent this with white, yellow and a touch of some red.  I need to find me a shelf to put above the toilet to give that wall a little more interest.  Maybe something with a towel bar and do some yellow towels.  So fun decorating, I love it!!

So what do ya think of the color...

So here is the color I picked for the bathroom.  I just had to throw some on the wall to get the idea but Monday I will get it all done! 

I REALLY like it!

Bathroom makeover

I know this isn't exactly something I made but it's something I am up to and I'm sure there will be some stuff that I make put into it.  So we have this crazy guest bath that has no window and this UGLY wall paper. So I am taking down the wallpaper boarder and painting it turquoise.  I think it will brighten it up a bit!

Here I have started to rip the wallpaper down

And here is a picture of the bathroom.  It's just that small so I will update you on the progress of the bathroom as I finish it.
