pinterest resolution

resolution for june: complete five pinterest projects. 

up first: a diy memory game for my favorite (and only) nephew. (shannon--act surprised) i started with taking pictures of everyone and making them into a collage to get them to the right size. then i got a memory game from goodwill and thought id "be creative" and paint one side orange. which was a good idea. key word: idea. turns out i got it all over the opposite side of the pieces.




so i decided to just keep it simple and not paint them. using some modge podge i glued & sealed the pictures onto the pieces. done and done.


project 2: finish that silly mobile. the first one was a bit too chaotic. so i bought a hoop thingy, had the hubs paint it and used fishing line to hand half of the pinwheels. 


project 3: a birthday onesie. so this one isnt really completed but everything is in place to quickly complete it once little ivan or dot makes his or her arrival. simply finding a calendar for the correct month, flipping it to the mirror image and printing it onto some transfer paper to be ironed onto the onesie. since theres a chance that this little one wont arrive until august...i did twice the work. and then all ill have to do is iron the correct one on and use a sharpie or paint or something to circle his or her birthday. and take pictures of course.

 

project 4: laundry bag for the nursery. this one was an easy project too. the actual plan says to use a pillow case but i had some extra fabric so i just made a little pillow case type thing. add in an embroidery hoop some string and a hook = done. hopefully it holds up!


project 5: no clue. i wanted to make a little fabric puff to put on the nursery door so that the door wont make any sound when opening it. however i have not started this. oh well.
80% is good enough right? riiiiight.
