Craft Projects

So I've been tapping into my inner Martha the past couple weeks and I thought I'd show you the results....I've been in need of a jewelry holder and I found this idea in a magazine. I just bought a plain wooden plaque on sale at Michael's, painted it and then attached the spoons. I bought the spoons at a thrift store down the street and tried to find antique looking silver ones. Then Adam drilled some holes in the handles for me and I just nailed them in! The only idea that was my own was keeping two spoons face up to hold rings and earrings also.The next project came today with a bird on a branch that I ordered from uppercase living . I already had the window pane that I bought from a garage sale 3 years ago and painted it, but wanted to do something with it before I hung it up in Greta's room. When I saw this art, I thought it'd be perfect for her room! Since we hung it above the changing table I had Adam screw it in with the 4 biggest bolts we could find.The other day Bennett came over to play and I had made these hats and tutu's ahead of time with photo-op in mind. The tutu's were made from a no-sew pattern that I found online. Then, I found cute fabric and just kind of went to town on the sewing machine for the hats. Now, mind you, I've never really sewn on a machine before so the stitching looks like junk, but oh well. I thought my models pulled them off really well. :)
Bennett, literally pulling it off. :)
Thank you, I'll take that.

Okay, so my photo-op didn't quite go as planned, but they still look cute huh?
