Crafts

Summer Crafts:

Baby quilt: We did this quilt for a cute little cousin who has had a tough year.
The button flowers were my mom's idea and are scattered throughout.

Vanity: Brittney bought this a couple of years ago fully intending to fix it up. (I was so jealous) Brittney is now on a mission and left it the garage.With her permission I started to work on it. I soon realized that it needed a lot of fixing before I could get to the beautifying. I also had to deal with a large number of spiders and creepy spider sacs. I was freaked out by the arachnids, but with the help of some spider poison( Click here for Simpsons clip) I showed them who's boss.  


Viola!
Don't before and after pictures feel so satisfying?

 

Printer Desk: Next I wanted to make a desk for my printer. I got it at Savers It was in good shape except for some loose legs that Josh fixed for me. I wanted it to look Shabby Chic.


 After a little work it looked kind of terrible. The spray paint was bad and came out like it was fake snow. I was kind of nervous I had ruined it and was not excited about having to sand it again. 
 It was all worth it though.The finished product looked better than I had hoped.


I had other projects planned but, some summers are just too short.
