J chose a pink of all pinks color for her room. We decided to go with a butterfly theme and I wanted to make her butterfly curtains. I love how they turned out. I had to line the curtains which I didn't like doing but I think they turned out cute. I lined them with a sheet that I found at a thrift store and I bought the fabric with a coupon. Yay! So they weren't too expensive to make. I love the butterflies. You can't tell from the picture but only the bodies of the butterflies are sewn down so the wings will flutter (somewhat). My inspiration for the curtains came from this quilt by Shabby Fabrics.
Recently, I was blessed by some friends from church. We had a crafty weekend away from the kids. We ate, worked on crafty things, and then, went shopping at an awesome flea market. It was my kind of weekend! One of the projects I worked on was a name banner for J's room. It was a simple project but it turned out super cute. I hung in in her window.
J's room is small and she has plenty of stuffed animals. I found a white dust ruffle for a twin bed at a thrift store that was brand new. I made pockets for the one side of the bed that shows. The pockets will hold her stuffed animals and fluffy toys. This was an easy solution to add some more storage to J's room. I bought the fabric at JoAnn's. Kaleb was so impressed with the pocket dust ruffle that he asked for one of his own.
My last completed project was a banner for our sewing room. It says "Create." This was also simple to make and it just adds something to our sewing room until I have the money to add other things:) I found a pattern online and went with it. It doesn't take too much fabric, you could really use your scraps if you had some. I am able to get crafty. I have missed it so. I still have plenty of things to make for the house but I am crossing some things off the list. Hope you have time to be crafty today:)
