Does anyone ever really catch up on their TO DO LISTS? I'm finding it extremely difficult due to all the incredibly cute stuff I keep finding all over blog land.
(all I have to say is Thank Goodness for Google Reader and it's ability to keep me updated on all my favorite blogs)
Here is what's new to the list as of yesterday:
1. I have to make 1 or 2 of these super cute Valentine chair backers from
Amy at: Our Scoop. She shares the tutorial and pattern on how to make them.

2. To help fill the chair backers I want to make these super cute Fabric Love Letter Envelopes. The tutorial is found over at the Moda Bake Shop.

3. I fell in love with this Re-purposed Woman's Sweater Turtleneck made into a Sweet Little Girls Cardigan, from Lindsay at The Cottage Home I love that she is reusing discarded items and making them into something so dang cute! I better get to the Thrift Stores so I can find me a cute wool sweater to transform.

I find it funny that I have all these sewing projects listed when I don't even really sew well. Looks like I better learn and quick!
And the Grand Daddy of all projects comes from Ana at Knock Off Wood. I am soooo in love with this Farm House Pottery Barn inspired bed. She even shares the pattern and DIY on how to make it. This blog I have a feeling is going to become a really good friend. Lucky for me my husband is more than willing & able to make this for me us, and at a cost of around $120.00 for the whole thing......makes it even sweeter! :)

There is more on my TO DO LIST but if I added them all to this blog post, it seriously would never end.
Have a Happy Thursday!
Oh my I want my hubby to make me this bed!
ReplyDeleteI just found that Knock off wood lady today!! And it is totally amazing what she's sharing!
ReplyDeleteWish I was on your Valentine's Day list...those envelopes are A-Dor-A-Ble!!!
ReplyDeleteWow..great projects! I have fallen so behind in visiting people. I don't do the reader thing..still old fashion clicking to blogs....argh. I read the lovely bones...wonderful and beautiful book..
ReplyDeleteI love that bed! I just went to her blog and spent so much time looking at all her amazing projects..wow now I have a long to do list!!

ReplyDeleteI am so making the chair bag. I've had it on my to make list for about a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to call. My mom got sick and I had to run her to the doctors and get all of her perscription stuff on Tuesday. Yesterday was a blur (sarah didn't take a nap) and Thurday's are my busy day, plus my Brinley isn't feeling so good.
I promise to call in the next few days. I want info on the retreat...can't wait!
OMG what cute finds! And I have got to get that bed made for us and a twin size version for my daughter!
ReplyDeleteI totally know how you feel, my to do list is getting so long from all these inspiring great projects on all these great blogs (including yours) I'm having a hard time keeping track of what I want to DO!
Thanks for sharing these great finds!
Just not enough time in the day, is there? (sigh) My list is getting longer faster than it is getting accomplished.
ReplyDeleteGreat to-do list! It's too bad we can get all get together for a big craft night!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being able to make a bed! I wish I could take a carpentry class somewhere!
XOXO

Thanks for your sweet comments ~ it's been a tad nerve racking for me the last week or so.
I know exactly what you mean! You should see my favorites folder of project ideas. But I have managed to get a few done!
ReplyDeleteMy crafty to-do list is 300+ projects long. I try not to look at it. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the bed!!! I can totally see it in your house!
ReplyDeleteWow! LOVE her blog. It is now a fixture on my blog. . (my much neglected & lonely blog). I've been watching HGTV lately & this blog reminds me of all of the clever things they cook up. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see the scripture binder tutorial. My daughter is getting baptized in April, and would love to make her something cute, instead of using some cheap polyester same old blah-everybody-has-one-at-church-too binder. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteNO wonder you can't get your to do list finished! That is amazing....just double it and I'll take one of each! =)

ReplyDeleteI looooove the Moda Bake Shop, too.
And speaking of love...Brindley's baptism dress is SO precious. : )

Oops... I meant Brinley!
ReplyDeleteTo do lists are never done! I am a list fan though. It helps keep my crazy head on straight! I love those valentine ideas..... maybe next year hahaha
