New Crafting Space!

My crafting has been on hold for a bit because I have been organizing my new crafting space! Gabe built this for me for Mother's Day, and while it's not completely finished (I have to put the edging on the unfinished edges), I figured I would post a picture anyways.

It now resides in our basement, which is not the most cheery location, but it will be nice to not have to clean my stuff up all the time, and to have everything in one place!

Ben's Room!

I've been redecorating Ben's room. Out with the sweet pastel frog set, and in with something more boy-ish.


I love farm animals, so that's what I decided to go with. I think it will last him a while, at least until he can decide on his own if he wants a robot room, or a monster truck room, or something like that.


These wall hangings were made with some 6"x6" canvas panels that I bought at Dick Blick.


The animal silhouettes were actually from a Martha Stewart project (animal silhouette pillow), and worked perfectly with a little resizing.


The tractor and barn silhouettes were found with the help of google image search. :)

And finally a "matching" switchplate cover. Mod Podged fabric onto a plain plastic cover. I also plan on using this fabric as trim on his new bedskirt when I finally get around to making it.

Super Hero Cape!

This was made as a birthday present for a friend's little boy whose name starts with J. :)

I love the lining fabric! I have some left over, and may use it as part of a quilt, if I ever become motivated to make one. :)
