Weekend Projects

Well CJ has been at his grandparents for the weekend...and Jake has been watching Carah...so it been a weekend of making things happen! Made 4 dresses and 4 hair bows-check.





Chalked the tree on the wall in Carah's nursery...so I can paint it soon. Also hot glued green leaves onto the owl mobile...



And I painted a shelf that is going in her nursery too...it is drying in the garage.

HooRay for finally and almost finishing the nursery!!!
(All that is left: paint the tree, hang the shelf and find a dresser to go in her closet)

Pattern Paper

Old Desk Calendars make great pattern paper for all of your Pinterest DIY sewing projects! (This is a pillowcase dress)

Polka Dotty Shoes

Pinterest is challenging me...attempt 1 and 2...and 3 :)

Keep trying...failure is just a learning curve!!!
