Pinterest Projects Week 2

So I'm a little late on posting this...

4.  Another dog gate

Mark made a big and a small one. I chose a complimentary sheet to make the small one.  Somehow our stinker dog has figured out how to push the pvc out so he can escape, but he can't get back in. Putter, the big moose, just lays down in front of it.  It works fine for both of them on the stairs in between the slats though!



5.  A korker!









Soooo easy to do and now I can adorn her little head with even more of my kooky creations!  Don't worry though, I won't leave her little tooshie out!












6.  A ruffle shirt for Kin

Unfortunately, Mommy isn't very good at measuring for her projects yet and this shirt fits her JUST RIGHT right now.  At the rate this little lumpkin is growing, she's going to be cruising into the next size sooner than later!  The ruffles on this shirt make it VERY heavy and the weather here has been outrageous.  Therefore, there is a good chance little Kin won't get to wear this gem.  Don't worry though, I will find some cute little girl to bedazzle with my creations!

Pinterest Projects Week 1

Week 1

1.  Baby Sandals

They look cute, but she tries to eat them. I think they'd be better for a baby that hasn't found their toes yet!

 2.  Dog Gate

After I put it up, I decided to test it out while I took a walk. That little rat dog got through somehow!  It hasn't happened since and it looks MUCH better than two baby gates that collapse on each other.  Much cheaper too!

3.  Patriotic Wreath

This bugger even held up in that 'tornado-like, hurricane-like' storm we apparently had Friday that I slept through.  Fabric glue is no joke. Just ask my carpet..but don't tell my husband!

4.  And more tutus!

Black with bows and candy corn with layered length colors!

Let the Pinned Projects Begin!

Last July (it was actually last spring, but it took me until July to join) my sister kept raving to me about this site called Pinterest.  Mostly to stop hearing the question, "Did you check out Pinterest yet?" I finally gave in and joined.  Since then, I've fallen in love with this new way to waste the day and I've been contently pinning away.  (Sorry Alysia! You were right!)

Now, I'm not going to say that I haven't tried anything that I've pinned, but I don't think I have done enough to warrant using any more precious time pinning what is essentially a wish list of cute/useful things.  Therefore, I've decided that I'm going to use this blog to keep myself honest.  I've set a goal of three Pinned crafts per week.  I'll post them on here along with other projects I've done throughout the year.  Hopefully I'll find that I've done more than I think!

As a bonus to you, if you see that I've successfully (or mostly successfully) completed a project, you can be pretty sure you can do it too. This is especially true for anything involving the kitchen-which is my nemesis.

Also, when Mark asks me what I've done all day, I can kindly refer him to this post-and then give him one of the common responses in our house these days:  'Your daughter is alive and well, isn't she?' or 'I was raising your child.'

This 'project' should be fun considering our house need to be clean for showings and I've already covered the place in fabric, paint, tulle, cement, yarn, and thread.

And, Kristyn, I think I'll save the dairy dishes for November...

Ready? Go!
