A Weekend Project

One of my favorite things about the blogs I follow or read regularly is the wonderful and creative projects they share.  Here is one I came across recently that I just love! I'm on the look out for an old armoire or cabinet door now!  Jacqueline from Simple Home Life  took an old armoire door and turned it into a lovely Chalkboard!

Jacqueline also hosts a great link up party that is always a huge hit!

Some Weekend Projects

Recently I came across some great projects I want to make.
Maybe this weekend....

 {A Latch Hook Jersey Rug by The Crafty Woman}

{Knit Scarf from Make It and Love It}

{Mod Podge Transfer Jewelry Box at Simply Albany}

{Paisley + French Knots Over Fabric at The Best Laid Plans}

{DIY Picture Blocks on Ask Anna}

What's on your to-do list for the weekend?

Just an Old T-Shirt...

When I came across this great tutorial at delia creates I knew I had to make some of these knit t-shirt produce bags. I just love them!! Armed with an old t-shirt, scissors, and a working sewing machine (mine's been broken for a while now) I started on my first bag. I made this one out of an old soft grey t-shirt and am loving it. Now I just need to find a few more t-shirts to use....

What are your plans for the weekend? Maybe a t-shirt produce bag! I know I'll be looking for another t-shirt or two to use...

Hope you have a great weekend!

Wednesday Wonderfuls

When I do my Wednesday Wonderful posts I usually feature lovely and inspirational items that I find on Etsy. Today I wanted to do something a little different and am featuring a few of the blogs I visit regularly that inspire me each and every time I stop by!

These ladies are wonderful and you'll see why!

Shelley @ Random Stuff by SAM

She's a writer, a photographer, designer and just creative all around. When I first met Shelley I was drawn in by the uniqueness of her creations and how much care she put into the details. I love reading her short stories from her writer's club and seeing what she's up to and creating in Tacoma.

Catherine @ Avery and Winslow

Busy with her two beautiful boys, I don't know how she finds time for all her lovely creations, but somehow she does! She makes beautiful silver jewelry for her Etsy shop and fills her blog with all her projects she's working on. When I first found Catherine's blog she was trying to complete 100 projects in 1 year. And do you think she did it? Of course!!

Ashley @ Domestic Fashionista

Give this girl a bucket of paint and I know I'm going to see a great makeover! She loves to cook, create and transform her home. She did a wonderful post recently called Furnishing Our Home on a Dime . It is wonderful to see how they are able to fill their house with so many lovely items and spend little or nothing in the process. Did you notice the stargazer lilies on the table? My favorite! I have a few stargazer lily plants in pots growing out on the deck right now, can't wait til they bloom....

I hope you enjoy these ladies as much as I do and will stop by and say hi to them.

I'm off on a road trip with my best friend to 3 states we've never been to before! Can't wait and I'll be back soon, hopefully with some great finds and photos from my trip.
