The Cubbie Project

So I've decided that my sewing room/home office/photography studio needs a makeover! I converted the closet into a sewing room and it works great but I still dont have enough room for all of my fun crafty stuff!

I found a site that has a TON of project ideas and drawn out plans for folks like me who have no clue what I'm doing! I would like to build a shelving/storage unit that covers a whole wall in my home office. This is what I will be starting today...

I may change it up a little to fit the room but this will be the beginning!!

If you like this cubbie unit, you can find the design and project plan here.

I will be posting pics to let y'all know the progress! Wish me luck!!!

Fun afternooon art project

I got this idea on Pinterest. Ours didn't turn out exactly like the one on the site but we had fun making it! My nine year old son, Seth is holding our project.

All we did to make it was hot glued crayons to an 11x14 blank canvas and held a blow dryer to them until they melted. The girl on the website used a heat gun that did not blow air.

Over all, pretty fun and interesting idea!

New to the blogging scene

So... my bestie Suzanne and I have decided to create a blog to share all of our new adventures in sewing, crafts, DIY projects, extreme couponing and more! Suzanne and I have been besties since fifth grade. Once upon a time...Suzanne and I used to make fun of our mothers beacuse they were always sewing or making something. Now that we have gotten older, become mothers ourselves, and were slapped with the reality that being "grown ups" costs entirely too much money, we run to our moms begging for advise on how to fix a hem or make a ruffle!

We hope that y'all will enjoy our posts and make as many comments as you wish! We are super excited to get to share all of our goodies!!!
