I’m working on a new store with my sister-in-law. We will sell handcrafted home decor along with unfinished items you can make yourself. My brother owns a cabinet shop, so this is the perfect place to set up shop. We will be selling online and locally.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The even better thing about it, it only took me about an hour to make. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This bench started its life as a headboard and footboard to two different beds. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The footboard already had a notch cut out on each side, so I used that as the front of the bench, screwing a 2x4 to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't have enough 2x6's to do the bench, but liked the look of them. So I decided to mix them with 2x4's. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I lightly sanded and painted with my favorite color, Cottage White. I had planned on antiquing this after, but when I got it on my porch, I decided I like it just the way it was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, except it needed pillows now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Searching through the stash, I found some cute stripped material I wanted to use. And I was dying to use make a burlap pillow like the ones I've seen around blogland.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought a few pillows at the DI to use as stuffing, way cheaper than buying actual pillow forms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sewed the new pillows inside out around the old pillows so I didn't even have to measure anything. One of the burlap pillows I stamped with a stamp I've had for years and never used. I used chocolate brown to try to imitate those awesome coffee burlap bags. I then weaved the coordinating fabric through the bottom to tie it in. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the other burlap pillow, I simply tied bow around. I'm not totally in love with the bow, thinking of making rosettes instead, but great for now.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">You may have heard about the Art Exchange Project: Art Swap that is floating around the blog world at the moment. One of the cute ladies I follow was doing it and opened it up to her readers. I just participated in a Christmas in July swap (pictures to follow!) and was so excited to get my package in the mail. I figured this would be even more fun since you are supposed to get 36 packages in the mail! Woo Hoo! I love presents. I thought I'd open it up to readers on my blog and see if anyone would like to join up?<br /><br />It is a never ending art swap...all you have to do is send 1 handmade package (it can be ANYTHING handmade) and you will receive 36 pieces of art in return! Sounds simple enough and I'm excited to see how it turns out - of course it will only work out if people stick to their end of the bargain, but even if I only get a couple of packages, that would still be exciting!<br /><br />So...anyone out there want to join me? I need 6 willing participants - feel free to leave a comment with your email address or send me an email if you want to take part and I'll send you the details. If I happen to get more than 6 responses, I'll be sure to pass your details onto other people who are looking for participants.<br /><br />Thanks guys :)</span>Kerstinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029157495356249558noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533134065411853719.post-499345575416827542010-07-27T14:31:00.000-06:002010-07-27T14:31:30.129-06:00Hello?!? Anyone still there?<span xmlns=""></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So my laptop <span style="color: red; text-decoration: line-through;">was flung off my bed and smashed into the floor by a puppy </span>broke about 6 weeks ago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I feel like I've fallen off the face of the earth. Luckily I saved everything off the laptop and have a new one up and running. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now to get back in the swing of things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I'm so excited, we have 57 followers! I said I was going to have a giveaway at 50, and sometime while I was off the radar, I surpassed! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I'm working on a great giveaway and will post it later this week. I have tons of things to show you. While my computer was down, I was able to craft my little heart out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">First up: My darling niece's first birthday.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So of course I had to make her cute outfit to wear. This time I didn't try it on my baby boy like I did at Christmas.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I didn't take any pictures during the creation; I just made it up as I was going. I started with a white onsie. The top of the cupcake is that soft swirly fabric left over from a quilt. I also added ruffles to the sleeves. The skirt is pink tulle. I tied it in with a hem that matches the cupcake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I also made her a few leg warmers. These were easy. I just bought girls knee highs, cut them and hemmed them.</span></div>

Did you see my guest post over at A Vision to Remember?<br />
<br />
In case you missed it, here it is. <br />
This is what we did at our family craft night a few weeks ago.<br />
(My laptop is in the shop! All my pics are on it.<br />
I should have it back this weekend and<br />
then all new posts! Also, I'm working on <br />
a give-a-way as soon as we hit 50 followers!)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's a little early to be working on 4th of July</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
decorations, every year July rolls around and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have nothing to put out and no time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to get anything done</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides, I REALLY want to start Halloween and Christmas crafts,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it's too early to do that, right??? (maybe next month)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a very easy inexpensive project I came up with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for our family craft night. We try to get together every few</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
weeks and eat food and craft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I bought this fabric at Wal-Mart really cheap. Each wreath was about $6.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I were to do it again, I would go with more VIVID colors,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
although this matches perfectly with my house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my front door is a burgundy color, and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it doesn't stand out as much as I would like.</div>

Snip your fabric every 1" and rip into strips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then cut the strips at 6". I used about 1 yard </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
total, from 5 colors, for the wreath. </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I spent 2 hours looking for a post I found a few weeks ago about a sharing journal. Bad news I didn't find it, Good news, I figured out Google Reader! Are you guys using this?? You can tag different posts in the blogs you follow for later reference. It's great. Now all the projects I find that "I have to try" can be organized for use on a later day. And you know how I am about organizing!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, a few weeks ago, I found a post about a mom and her sharing journals with her kids. It reminded me of something I did with my best friend in high school.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Basically it is a notebook that you write notes to each other in. You know how much easier it is to write to each other than talk to each other about certain things. Now that my daughters are tweens, I worry so much about us not continuing our talks. Right now, they tell me everything, I want to keep it that way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I made these journals</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K88uwVaJQN8/S9UBjNGbJCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/soVyEx389h8/s1600/075.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K88uwVaJQN8/S9UBjNGbJCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/soVyEx389h8/s320/075.JPG" tt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took $1 composition notebooks and covered them with scrap fabric.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will post a tutorial at a later date (when my camera gets fixed, these pics are from an old camera and I wasn't sure how they would turn out)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is very simple I measured the notebook on the fabric and pinned it:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9QT84TchluNh3NrtV5JLfYEnFHFbazjXJ4q1wHP38Hx76TijvS_cD_VQz4CgnkV7z9xWI-s85BDpmxVZo2ykE8CBy_PHbUq98kTGcHXQ0n7qPCWv0WYyO3WwpMt4OQDrMGUR98CXTwhYT/s1600/071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9QT84TchluNh3NrtV5JLfYEnFHFbazjXJ4q1wHP38Hx76TijvS_cD_VQz4CgnkV7z9xWI-s85BDpmxVZo2ykE8CBy_PHbUq98kTGcHXQ0n7qPCWv0WYyO3WwpMt4OQDrMGUR98CXTwhYT/s320/071.JPG" tt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Turn in right side out and accessorize!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love this one with ruffles</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Don't be dumb like me and sew the ruffles on after you have hemmed the edges. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I sewed it closed and had to pick them off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also love this one, I made felt flowers</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut them out with my Sissix, which I never thought I'd use again. But it worked great. Then I cut the head off some colored pins I have for the centers. (I didn't have any beads and I'm working on stash busting, no craft store trips)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They turned out great, my girls love them. Hopefully this keeps us "talking".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

No? Oh... Well that is certainly the what our house is like. </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Several years ago, I found this fabric that I love! Do you remember the blue version from my <a href="http://mommytimecrafts.blogspot.com/2010/03/car-seat-tent.html">car seat cover? </a> I of course bought several yards of it.

I've modified them each time I've made them. The first one was too soft. I changed the the interfacing I used, but the second one I thought was too short. (this is starting to sound like a Goldilocks story!) </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxjpVgIh2FIGhKRV3kLBuuIPorjCrZWsKWral-FIU0Qnnipl7lzh_Yj5D8A4KzHItkCYxwbpxkMs8hCgaoJFLtcGtp69wro8mKhGN5BvRIxFvxV_txoEmFBdGy-V1p2dvgCPXJd2hucaH/s1600/113_1024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxjpVgIh2FIGhKRV3kLBuuIPorjCrZWsKWral-FIU0Qnnipl7lzh_Yj5D8A4KzHItkCYxwbpxkMs8hCgaoJFLtcGtp69wro8mKhGN5BvRIxFvxV_txoEmFBdGy-V1p2dvgCPXJd2hucaH/s320/113_1024.JPG" wt="true" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I think this one turned out great. I did enlarge it from the last two. There are three pockets on the inside. I made the bottom removable so you can wash it after either your spill Cheerios or diaper cream in the bottom.

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So a year or so ago, in a Pottery Barn catalog, I saw this idea. Of course the PB version was $400, mine cost about $15.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It is a full size wall calendar. With 4 kids it seems impossible to remember everything (each pregnancy sucked a little more of my brain away). We use this calendar to post wedding/bday party/shower invitation. For reoccurring events, such as piano lessons, I laminated a slip of paper and have it always posted. With my cricut, I made days of the month to match each month.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDG8GRW-tb6UEhyVxQAULRVdZsOex3vxRZjJOY4zSwAASRbvknqCrmkvLw2AYm5r-xbYGF7hQfGU7EgEgJsRZp0KojCSew-8J-TjUIewSUQljmJm22RnqyYVon9pBxK5QGrMTaL-I5-m_v/s1600/129.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDG8GRW-tb6UEhyVxQAULRVdZsOex3vxRZjJOY4zSwAASRbvknqCrmkvLw2AYm5r-xbYGF7hQfGU7EgEgJsRZp0KojCSew-8J-TjUIewSUQljmJm22RnqyYVon9pBxK5QGrMTaL-I5-m_v/s320/129.JPG" wt="true" /></a></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This calendar helps my kids be able to see what is going on with their lives as well. Its great for my husband and mom to always be able to know what's going on as well. We aren't relying on my PDA to help us all keep it together.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is how I made it:</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At Wal-Mart, I bought the corkboard in squares. It comes with sticky pads to attach it to the wall. They don't work very well. So I bought some 3M sticky pads to attach it. Then I hot glued white ribbon to create the days of the month. Walla! Easy as that. Plus I think mine turned out cuter than the PB version! </div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, here is the deal. I have about 6 of the months of the year completed with days of the month cut outs and decorations for the top of the calendar. The other 6 months, I just use the last month's days. About 5 days before the beginning of the next month, I'm going to post my calendar. This will force me to finish each month within the next year. Plus there are a few months I want to redo because they didn't turn out that cute.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

As you can see, we have a new look here at Mommy Time Crafts. I was able to talk one of my very talented friends into designing a whole new blog for me! Isn't it awesome?!?<br />
<br />
I'm a firm believer in do what you are good at. One thing I'm good at is taxes, I'm an accountant by trade. One thing I'm not good at is web design, or any computer design in fact. So, in an effort to maximize my talents and not try to pick up new hobbies I'll never quite get, I was able to talk Michael at <a href="http://www.sabordesigns.com/">Sabor Designs</a> into designing my blog as I finished his taxes. <br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure I ended up with the better end of the deal.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">About a week ago, I was at my best friends house and she was showing me all the cute hairbows she has made for her daughter.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I started with two pieces of a cardboard box and cut them in the shape of a top. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I glued the two pieces together with hot glue.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I planned on using batting in between the cardboard and fabric. I only have about 5 HUGE rolls of batting, but they are all stored at my mom's house. She happens to be out of town, and I didn't want to ask my poor old dad to go through the storage looking! So, I had some warm & natural. Normally, i wouldn't use it on a craft project, but I have a piece that had a run in with the washer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is a hole right in the middle of the warm & natural, so I cut some pieces off the side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut a piece of fabric about 3 inches bigger on each side of the cardboard and started gluing it around.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, you know those super talented people that can make beautiful projects that even look great from the back? I'm not one of them.

Basically I glued ribbon on the bodice. I used two yards of tulle. One yard white underneath and one yard purple on top. I just gathered it by hand and glued it on. I glued ribbon down and flowers on top. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg008rgf54gEDw-cA1Y4xx2h3o4QENbyYCPvBKv14_CmFTp5Or6r1o9iW2U74befoWi7GwMG275HwhJ-bIizU7yziL2cdVxP5uai4kCWi65ZHNkWB4nvCvMWDFTf1la0MSrtwoxWpK5SUqZ/s1600-h/050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg008rgf54gEDw-cA1Y4xx2h3o4QENbyYCPvBKv14_CmFTp5Or6r1o9iW2U74befoWi7GwMG275HwhJ-bIizU7yziL2cdVxP5uai4kCWi65ZHNkWB4nvCvMWDFTf1la0MSrtwoxWpK5SUqZ/s320/050.JPG" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
