I’ve been bit by the crafting bug! My first project was mod podging paper on some letters for Lily’s room. Too bad she doesn’t really have a room that they can go in yet, someday.
I liked mod podge so much I decided to try something a little more difficult. I got the idea from a fellow blogger and actually found the same fabric she used from Hobby Lobby but chose to use this fabric instead. The shoes I got for $7 at Walmart. The mod podge and fabric made the shoes a little tighter so I added some felt to the heels. Hopefully they won’t hurt my feet. But at least I’ll look cute in them, right?!
My next mod podge craft is a photo frame, but I haven’t decided if I’m going to use paper or fabric.
Also, I’m so excited that I have a working sewing machine again. My old Singer machine that my mother-in-law gave me bit the dust last December. Ever since then I’ve come across so many projects that I want to do but most of them require a sewing machine. So last week Matt convinced me to go ahead and get this machine.
I’m so glad I did. I LOVE IT! This machine makes sewing so easy, no more turning the wheel to get the machine going. And I love all the stitches, so fun!
I have finally started the finishing touches on a project YEARS in the making. I think I started this quilt the summer before we left for Virginia and it has taken me this long to finally start piecing it together. I’m excited to be done so I can move onto another sewing project.
Do you have any ideas for some fun crafts? I’d love to hear about them.
