projects

I haven't done many projects lately, but I have a few that I wanted to post.

Thank you Brother and Sister M for the dresser!

This Side table is the first time I tried stain anything.

Marriage between a man and woman.

I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God.  As I watched this April’s general conference I realized that declaring this belief frightened me. I knew that if asked directly I wouldn't betray my values, but that publicly declaring such an unpopular ideal scared me.However, I know I shouldn't be afraid of what the world thinks of me, so I declare that I believe in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and that I will be true to it’s prophet and it’s teachings. 

Projects

I've been home for a while now, so to stave off boredom I take on little projects. If I see a piece of furniture that is cheap (hopefully free) I fix it up to either keep or sell.

This was my first real upholstery project I don't know what people usually use to put the buttons on, but I made do with a pencil, pliers and my biggest sewing needle. It was tough.

I broke the mirror so I turned it into a chalkboard.

 In addition to furniture I embroider bookmarks. I don't know how to do very many stitches, and I make up the patterns, so I bet people who actually know how to embroider are appalled. I like them despite their amateur nature. I've made a ton of these, but I've got a lot of books so I've always got a spot for a new one.

I also made some rice bags they are just so cozy to have in the winter.

Got any furniture that needs some TLC, or a book in desperate need of a mark let me know. ;)
