Mini Project: Paint & Planters
Not everything works out the way it should, (like winning the lottery or marrying rich... erm... what?)
Like the time that bought a painter's pen for my dresser project. The dresser turned out great, by the way. Check it out here.
ANYWAY, I had this painter's pen, and thought I should try and use it for something. Luckily, I had just bought two new plants that also happened to fit nicely in some terracotta pots I already had.

Sewing 101: Apron Dress
Left over material is a great motivator for trying something new. I saw a retro shirt pattern on Pinterest, and thought I could probably convert it into a dress.
Looks easy, right?

Dapper Dresser
We picked up this free Kijiji dresser almost a year ago. It was the perfect size for M's room. Plus, it has mid-century lines that I love.
It came with some minor damage, but after a humidifier leaked, it wreaked havoc on the top...
Well, crap!
This gave me the opportunity to finally do something fun with this dresser.

Mini Project: Making Contact
Mini Project time!
Enter our 12 year old night stand tables. They've moved to three new houses, even trekking across the country. And because of this, they are in pretty sad shape now.
And since they are in sad shape, it is perfect item to try something fun and cost-effective.

Sewing 101: Fringe Benefits
I had an "I can do that" moment... but then again... don't we all?
Whether it is criticizing your favorite sports team from your couch or seeing a Jackson Pollack painting, there is always someone who is arrogant enough to think they can do it too.
But, people... I really did think I could do this one. It is super cute and age appropriate and you can purchase it. See link below.

But I made it! I did it!
