My DIY Projects

I really like doing DIY projects, but lack the time...  And sometimes even lack the creative ability.  But I see something I want to do and set my mind on it, and I can't stop thinking about it until I do it..

Here's something simple I made for C's nursery while I was pregnant and still had TIME to myself:

I bought different sheets of fabric with similar colors to her nursery, and different size embroidery hoops.  I ironed out any creases in the fabric and pulled it tight in the embroidery hoop.  I trimmed around the edges so there was about 3/4" of fabric left.  I then hot glued the fabric back on the embroidery hoop so it wasn't hanging out.  Simple, huh?  You could always paint the outside of the hoops too :]

And this is how they look on her wall!  [Please overlook the paint on the walls, the camera didn't pick up the colors very well and it looks different than in person..]

And here's her bedding so you see why I chose those colors:

Recently my uncle started remodeling his house...  I've always wanted to make something with windows to hang on my wall, so I took four of his old ones!  

This is SUPER cute and would love it in my bedroom [idea from Thirteen and South]:

Or even something like this at the end of the hall or in the living room [idea from: The Passionate Home]

I've already started sanding down one the windows...so we'll see what's in store for it as I go!  Wish me luck!
