DIY Hell

I have ever intention of being a DIY queen. Ever. Intention.

Pinterest is my muse. My go to. My idea board.

I pin till I can't pin anymore.

And I vow to make all those things I see.

And does it happen?

No.

Are you with me? Do you feel the same way I do? Do you want to craft but then you just decide that sleep is a much better thing to do with your time?

And here I go.... back to pinterest. Hoping to become that amazing pinner that everyone follows.

Second star to the right.... Peter Pan themed crib mobile

If what I experienced last night was anything like what those do on Cupcake wars, or some sort of show where they have to race to beat the clock.... I do not ever want to do it again. Ever.

Of course, I waited till the last minute to do this. Which was my first issue.

Anyways, heres my finished project ( well partly finished I have to go back and finish the details and make it pretty today)

Peter Pan themed Crib Mobile. I will be removing the pink netting around it ( started to take it off last night as seen in the photos) and add my own ribbon around it. Missing is the jolly roger piece ( the ship)










All in all I had loads of fun creating this! And will be offering up in my etsy shop soon as a finished project

Day 3 & 4 of 30 Days of Crafting

Yesterday. Well, it was just blah. I did not get anything accomplished. Nothing.

So to make up for day 3 I will be doing 3 & 4 together.

I am going to be making washcloth mitt's with a Peter Pan theme AND a Peter Pan themed crib mobile.

I am doing this for a challenge that is due tomorrow and so this is perfect for that.

Pictures to come soon!

Guess i better get off the computer and go stitch something huh

Day 2 of 30 days of Crafting

So at the end of this 30 days ill be sharing my pictures of all the things I have made. Its easier for me to do it all at once so i can set up a pretty backdrop and all that jazz.

Today, I am going to use this tutorial and make some jammy pants!

From the Prudent Baby - learn how to sew pants for your guys OR gals.

Here is the link to the tutorial. I have some cute fabric im going to use for these. I dont think ill be doing the drawstring part though, as I dont have a grommet hole punch anymore.

30 Days 30 Projects

In going through my numerous ( and I use that word with great emphasis) bookmarks, I have realized I have entirely too many things I want to do.... and not enough that I am DOING.

So I have given myself a challenge- create 30 items in 30 days- 1 a day.

Tomorrow 6/22 is going to be starting with this pattern located here. Ruffle Bloomer pants.

I challenge you to do the same! Pick 30 projects off your pinterest boards and do them!
