15 Minutes

Let me be honest....I have be quite overwhelmed lately....so I snuck in 15 minutes of quiet by the fire last night.



Ahhhhh, that helped.

My brain swirls with ideas sometimes....so maybe you guys won't mind me dumping some of them on you!

We are in the process of buying a house.....oh so exciting! but if you have bought a house you can sympathize, it takes over your whole life!

Here are some things that have been inspiring me (and keeping me up at night!)

I want these for my countertops....but they are pricey (maybe I can ask my dad to make some.....ehem, dad??)

Pegboard....I'm all over it!

Loving this space saving DIY bookshelf

Look at this simple idea!

I am going to try using (or maybe making?) Milk Paint :)

Along with all that....my first craft fair is coming up! Woah....what did I get myself into?? Although I found some fabulous fabric at the thrift store this weekend......can I tell you....I have a new obsession for pillow cases!




Whew! Thanks!

Whats inspiring you lately?

(oh! I just realized I need to change my banner o_0)

Finally!!

My fabric for the pants along (which has long ended) has finally come in!

and ooohhhh I love it :)





Did you know Linen is made from renewable Flax?

The Great Pants Along - Fabric

So I made my fabric choice....



I ordered it last Monday.....and it won't arrive until NEXT WED!!!! I am determined to catch up to the rest of you guys at the pants along....so stay tuned :)

At this rate I will get to wear my new shorts next summer......can't wait!

The Great Pants Along

Joanna over at Stardust Shoes has invited crafters (an non crafters alike) to explore the world of garment sewing. I have never had much luck in the garment area and think this is a great way to learn....together!



Join along if you like! I will be posting my progress here.....first up, rounding up materials!

I am thinking one of these three fabrics....which one would you go with??





I am leaning toward the middle one :)

Inspiration.....

......from my local thrift store. Can't wait to work with this fabric and surprise one of my lucky winners!!





What will it be? Any guesses?
