projects

I love reading blogs to get ideas for fun projects or decorating ideas. I was inspired by so many of what these ladies do and I decided to attempt something. I found an old, big, jersey t-shirt and cute off the sleeves and trimmed the top to make a cute summery skirt for Emma. I shirred around the top to give it the puckered look and also to make it stretchy to fit her. I think it turned out pretty cute. Not bad for a first attempt!

I bought this bad boy at the DI a while back and had a perfect idea for it. It's an old paper towel holder without the paper towel holder part.

I cut a dowel to fit in the hole and had to drill out one side of the edge to be able to slide it in and out.

Next, came the paint job. I decided to go bold and find a great color. Then I hooked all my ribbon spools on and WALAH! I no longer have to sort through my box of ribbons to find what I need. Organization is great!
