Crafty lady

I'll admit it, I'm a hard-core crafting wannabe.

I devour Pinterest looking for fun projects or DIY ideas that I usually never tackle. I don't know what it is about myself that holds me back from being really creative.

That said, I've actually finished a couple little craft projects that I thought I'd share.

I've been wild about vintage sheets lately. I think they are so fun and what a great way to recycle! I like a blog called In Color Order and she had a tutorial for a vintage sheet wrapped wreath. (Actually she's a crazy awesome quilter as well. It's hard not to get caught up dreaming about lovely quilts.) Anyway, she sells the wreath kit in her Etsy store so I treated myself to one! It's basically a bunch of 2" strips you fold in half and wrap around a foam wreath. Isn't she a beaut?

If you had a bunch of different sheets you could totally make this without the kit. Super easy and I love it.

My other craft I'm super proud of. I made a fabric silhouette of Kasper!

I cut it out of black fabric then sewed it onto a little piece of vintage sheet. I found an oval frame on eBay to pop it into with a little batting for dimension.

I was shocked it turned out so well and only took about an hour.

So there you go, my attempts at crafting. Now if I could just focus on decorating the house we've lived in for almost a year...

I have trouble committing.

Jess, these projects turned out so well! I'm impressed that you can find the time to get anything done beyond cooking and cleaning and reading to Kasper! Great job!
-- Love, Sandra
