Pcs season is coming up. Just 2 short months until we move from Hawaii to the east coast. Am I stressing? Haha, you bet your bottom I am! So much to do! I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that there’s much to be done or the fact that the military won’t let us schedule ANYTHING until 30 days before we leave. You would think they would let you at least have things scheduled and tickets bought 2 months in advance. 😦 Then they tell me I need to relax… Psh!
So aside from the major project that my husband and I are currently finishing (more on that later) I have been doing a couple little projects here an there to use up some of the wood we can’t take with us.
First up is a very awesome door plaque chalkboard style! Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the finished product due to it being a gift to a very awesome couple 🙂 However I did take some how to photos.
This is what the pallet board piece looked like before I fixed it.
I’m starting to dabble a little in jewelry.
Nothing major and sewing will still be my favorite. However what’s nicer than having awesome jewelry? Only having awesome shoes to go with it 😛 I’m not about to make my own shoes though.
So I got a little kit that shows you how to make different earrings. Figured it would give me a good idea so I could see if I liked it. It was about $5 at Wally world.
Here is what I have made from it so far and already I have ideas as to what I would love to make.
The baby blanket. This is the second part of the cuddle blanket I posted about earlier. A few more photos this time 🙂 So, I realized that I didn’t have any quilt or blanket binding so I had to improvise. Also, I didn’t really want to use batting because I didn’t want to make it super thick. Instead, I used fusible fleece. Since this is a small cuddle blanket and not a huge quilt I figured I could get away with these. I’m not sure how they would work on a full quilt. So first I cut the backing and interfacing to the size of the quilted top. Then, I fused the fleece (interfacing) to the quilted top. In my head this seemed like it would help with the longevity of the blanket. After that put the backing and quilted top Right Sides Together and pin.
