crafting mood.




I have definitely been in a crafting mood lately! I have had quite a few random projects going on and I finally finished them all up!!
1. Menu Board. I got the frame at Savers for $2. I spray painted it with some silver we already had and used paper I had laying around! I'm hoping it helps motivate me to cook dinner every night! Travis filled it out and I actually made that dinner every night. As long as I know what I am cooking I am more likely to cook a yummy meal. I swear just coming up with what to cook is the hardest part!
2. A couple weeks ago Snapfish was having a 1 pennie/print sale!! So I went through all the pictures I had of Kwinton since he was born! I ended up printing out 344 pictures! I organized them in chronological order and I finished his scrapbook of the first year of his life!
3. I made my first jean blanket! That took me forever!! It even got to the point where Travis said he would take me to get some ice cream when I finished haha! I had no idea how long hand-binding a quilt took! It was worth it. It has been so nice to have it for going out to the farm and hanging out while dad works :)!
4. I made some alphabet magnets with the bag of glass stones from Dollar Tree! I bought some stickers, traced out circles on black paper, and hot glued them on! Super easy & super cute :)!

I want to make these pillows for my couch next! I saw this idea at a super cute fabric store by my house! I think they would be so cute for fall.

I bought these night stands off KSL a couple months ago. They have been neglected and my goal is to get them done this next week. I want to refinish them and either pain them gray....... or a blue color. Travis' vote is gray, but I am not 100% sure what I want to do yet. Our room is already gray & white and I don't want our room to be completely boring! What do you guys think?!


Next on my list- a backboard for our bed!!!!!! It needs one, I know!

  1. paint your dressed an accent color! Our room is black gray and green/yellow.
    Then it will have a little pop of personality but not to much!

    that sounded so forward! ha an idea.
