Sew Simple

My project for the week: Fabric Covered Canvas

With a few days off and trying not to do too much as I continue to heal from surgery, I found a quick and simple project. From Pinterst. Ofcourse. A fabric covered canvas.

The DIY DISH

I just used scrap pieces of material I already had from previous projects.

I didn’t want the exact same style as the one shown so I switched up the pattern a bit for a more asymmetrical look.

Then add two flowers to it.

Super simple. Really quick. And if I can say so myself… adorable.

Ah. Another finished project. Love. Now what to do next…

Project Makeup

One thing I have enjoyed through the years is makeup. Shocker I’m sure. And up until now I have just used makeup bags and everything is just kinda thrown in there. Not really easy to find things all the time and gets kinda messy too. So I set out to find the perfect way to organize my items. Here are a few things that caught my eye and interested me a bit.

So my decision was made. I was gonna make a magnetic makeup board. Perfect. Now where to find the perfect “board base”…

Goodwill never fails me. Seven dollars for this beauty.

All I needed was a metal sheet. Paint and more paint. And BAM! Beauty! Haha.

One white spray paint can, sample size paint in a coral, then a thin meta sheet all from Home Depot for under fifteen dollars.

So there it is my new magnetic makeup board that is so convenient to use when I’m getting ready.

Aw, February is here. And along with everyone else I’m sure when this month comes to mind you think of hearts and flowers, etc. But more importantly I think of my sis, Bre. Our Valentine baby in the family. With her bday right around the corner my momma and I set out on a shopping trip. A success it was. I introduced my momma to Hobby Lobby… 2 hrs later and only about half way through the store we decided to check out. Haha. Also an introduction to Gordmans was in order. I just love both those stores. I saw some cute storage items that I may have to go back and purchase as a new project Han and I want to work on is our pantry!

Along with shopping we also went and got our nails done. Such a fun treat that I enjoy… especially when they give a hand massage.

I have the cutest Valentine gift for Lani…

Pink scrubs & and princess Veggie Tales. Adorable, right?

Last thing: Hannah showed me the cutest thing for the “love month” from (http://dating.failblog.org/2012/01/31/dating-fails-the-best-marriage-counselors-are-in-primary-school/)... Funny things kids say. You must read. They are hilarious. It made me miss my Lanna girl because she would say some things just like those kids!
