Hanging Chair

Instructables has a tutorial for a hanging chair made from a pallet. What an awesome idea! I'm thinking this would be a great project for E.

I absolutely love this idea. I think I will make one for our house and another to take to our family reunion auction.

Custom colored chalk board paint

A Very Blessed Nest just saved me a trip to the store with her super tip on how to make chalkboard paint in any color. I can't wait to get started on a couple of projects.

Doll wardrobe - Roadkill rescue

One man's trash is another man's treasure. That was definitely the case with this cabinet.

 

I wanted to give K a doll wardrobe for her birthday, but couldn't see spending $350 at American Girl. No way! So I asked Scott to find me a kitchen cabinet. It was perfect!

After cutting, sanding, painting, drilling, Mod Podging and praying that everything would dry in time for her birthday -- it was finished. (Note to self: If you have a project involving painting and Mod Podge, start more than 12 hours before it needs to be dry.)

Scott and I couldn't have done it without out two helpers. (A played in the sink to "help" so she wouldn't get paint everywhere!)

 

K was thrilled! I also made her doll clothes from my fabric stash to complete the gift. I blogged about those in other posts.

Play kitchen

I have been seeing entertainment centers turned into play kitchens on lots of blogs. I love this idea from Design Dazzle that includes a refrigerator.

Floor puzzle

I have been searching for things to make for D for his birthday. Mer Mag has this great floor puzzle on her blog. What do you think? Would D enjoy this? Since I have TONS of fabric, what do you think about making them out of fabric? Things that are quiet and soft are a definite hit with me.

Thread organizer

I have to make several of these thread organizers from Instructables. I am so sick of having to search in several places to find the thread I need and then search somewhere else for the bobbin.
