Cute T-Shirt

I made this shirt for my little sister for Christmas. Well, I didn't actually make the shirt part....I could have, were it not for a time crunch and a severe case of lazy. Instead, I bought a long-sleeve tee from DownEast and just played around with it.



When I was finished, I almost went to the store to buy Little Sis a Christmas present, so I could keep this one for myself....

(P.S. Sorry for the lousy picture; I took it with my cell phone.)

A Couple More

Hello again! I know that Christmas was basically eons ago, but I wanted to show you two more of my holiday projects. I had so much fun helping a friend of mine make gifts for his kids.

The first was this car roll-up:



Cute, right? Wish I could claim this as my own idea, but I actually found the instructions here.

We also made the awesomest of awesome Santa presents...a tee pee for my little bud Charlie:



This bad boy was super-easy to make -- it only took us about three hours! You can find the full tutorial here.

Now that the holidays are over, I'm trying to get back to some of my own projects (I've always got heaps of them). This morning I finished a bathroom shelf makeover that I started back in July:



I found this shelf on KSL for $10 bucks. ugly, ugly, ugly! But I needed some more storage in my bathroom so I figured it was worth a shot...



Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom! What do you think? A little bead board, a little paint, a little something-something to dress it up...I'm really happy with it -- and glad to be done! Time to mark that one off my list and move on to the next!
