I am SEW impressed...

I found the coolest sewing blog. This lady is so amazing. But before I share about her blog, here is the finished night stand!

Before.

After.

Isn't she a beauty? :) I love how it turned out. The flash makes is look not very dark black, but look at the bed and that's really what it looks like. Now, I finally feel like I have a matching bed set. I have a black bed, black dresser and mirror and 2 black night stands. Everything but one night stand was purchased on craigslist. Love that website.

Okay, now on to my favorite new blog. It's called http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com

This lady is really amazing, she makes dresses and shirts for her little girl out of adult sweaters and shirts, plus a ton of other stuff. Check her out!

So, she had a few projects that I did. One of them was a jewelry holder. I was thinking of making one of these anyways, and when I saw her idea, I copied it.

I have also been introduced to mod podge. I didn't know what it was until I started following crafty blogs. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it's basically a craft glue that you can use on paper, material, etc, to adhere stuff onto whatever you want. Make sense? :)

Here is an old frame I bought at a garage sale for a dollar or so. I covered it in cute material with mod podge, then covered the inside with different material, hot glued some knobs from the old dresser I bought (spray painted them black).

And this is what I got!

I'm going to hang it up next to the dresser, but need to nail something on the back, so I can hang it up.

Her next idea I copied is this. Cover your light switch cover! I never would have thought of that!

I love it! It's so easy too. Even if you rent, you can still do it. Just buy an extra light cover and keep the original to put back on when you move. You just cover the plate with mod podge, lay the material on it and smooth it out. Make sure to make holes before hand for the screws and switch.

Here is what I did for Anna's room. I'm really thinking of doing this for her outlets as well. And I want to do it for our room too. See? I'm getting addicted to mod podge. It's such a cool thing to use.

In case anyone noticed, there is paint on the door trim. We're going to replace the trim, so we didn't care if paint got on it.

I love how it gives a little more character to the room.

Speaking of baby's room. Here is a cute idea to spruce up a lamp.

She made these pillow cases. I love the idea of bow/ties on the pillow. So cute!

I spent so much time just going through her posts. She's so creative and always has a tutorial for how she made each item.
