weekend projects

this saturday was quite the fulfilling day.

at nine the comcast guy came over.

(dont get me started on comcast. i hate them)

talk about awful b.o.

like so awful that the smell lingered for a good while.

i was able to get the usual chores done.

laundry, dishes, vacuuming.

as well as a pinterest project i had seen.

i decided this needed to be done.

i haven't decided to splurge on real night stands yet.

when our water heater broke and started leaking the carpet people came

and multiple times i was embarrassed at what items could be seen inside.

so i mod podged some scrapbook paper.

no more embarrassments :)

i spray painted my kitchen table a little over a year ago and i did an awful job.

i was ashamed of it any time anyone ate off of it.

there were scrapes everywhere and the enamel was uneven and wearing off.

so i repainted it.

off white this time.

and brushing on enamel is better than spraying enamel.

you live and you learn.

before:

after:

my mom got me a sewing machine for my birthday.

although my birthday isn't until december.

she's on top of things like that.

anyways, i love maxi dresses but being real tall makes wearing maxi dresses slightly hard.

i feel like i only like them on me if they touch the ground.

impossible to buy.

not impossible to make.

i used this idea and made it longer and skipped the gathered look.

and added ruffles to the top.

not bad for my first sewing project without any help.

i think lance was impressed.

too much?

my next sewing project is going to be this i think.
