Ready-Made

I love Ready-Made. If you aren't familiar, it's a magazine focusing on DIY home improvements/decorating. I bought an old issue and found a picture of a table I liked.

I decided to redo a table of my own with a similar feel to that table. This is what I made.


Then I sent an email into the "letter to the editor" email address at Ready-Made. It was just a letter with a picture of my table saying thanks for the ideas and here's one of probably a millions results. Well, about a week later I got an email back from the associate editor at Ready-Made asking if she could print my picture in the next issue.

So, if you read Ready-Made, make sure to check the re-ply section in the next issue. My table just might be in it.

YEA READY-MADE!

Careful What You Ask For...

Cause you just might get it.

I decided to have a day to myself. I went to the liquor store, bought some tequila. Stopped by target to buy myself some stuff. One of which was (what bobby calls) a "sassy" hat.



That I will probably rarely wear.

Then I stopped by the Alligator Grill and had a few margaritas.

Then out of shear curiosity, I asked Bobby what he wanted me to make him tonight. Being silly, he said he wanted a stuffed pickle. Then changed his mind and said he'd rather I finally made a pillow from his old Billy Idol shirt.

I did make the pillow.



But then I had to make the stuffed pickle. How could you turn down a request like that?



All the while drinking more (homemade) margaritas. First regular...



Then lavender...



And now Bobby has a new friend.

Bird Mobile 2

I made another bird mobile. Here it is...





and I'll leave you with one last photo of me releasing the birds.

Family Photos

My super talented sister has taken our family photos and played around with the colors. They look amazing. Thanks Kate.

Frilly Headboard

I'm a total DIY dork. I would much rather do something myself than buy it. It's usually cheaper, anyway.
This headboard is my next interior design obsession. The one in this picture is actually a decal from Les Invasions Ephemeres.
I plan to go DIY and paint this on my wall. Maybe a few floating shelves on either side. Love it!

First Craft Blog

I have decided to use this blog as a place to hold all my random crafting. I have gotten to the point where I do a new craft almost weekly and I need somewhere to show them all in one place. Voila!

I have recently started frequenting a few blogs and I saw this awesome mobile on spoolsewing.com and decided I had to attempt it.

here is my try. I think it turned out pretty good for a first try.
