Aprons are fun

In my world of testosterone(I am the only girl in my house) I feel the need to buy pink and use flowers in everything to give me some balance.  Plus girl stuff is so much cuter and abundant.  Thankfully God gave me a ton of nieces to shower my need for pink onto.  hehehe.  This is for one of my oldest nieces for her birthday.  No real need for explanation.  I bought a pattern and went to town.  Ruffles, I have decided, are my nemesis.

Chair Revival

My youngest was in need of a desk and chair.  Determined to only buy from flee markets we set out.  Two weeks straight we hunted and and second guessed items, but finally he found a chair he "wanted".  Not really the type of chair I wanted but I gave in and thought, "this is his room".  I bought the chair for $5 at a flee market and bought some fabric, that he picked out, from JoAnns for probably $5.  A little sewing here, some staples there( I am in love with my staple gun by the way) and shazam a chair revival fit for my little man.
Happy Reviving!!
 

To make the slip cover for the back I simply unscrewed the back piece from the chair and made a pattern.  Easy peasy.

Baby Gifts

For two precious new babies at my church.  Saw this on another blog and had to do it.  Letters are vinyl, frames came from Walmart for $2 each.  I spray painted them because they were brown and formal looking.  Used my cream spray paint.  The vinyl you can get off Ebay cheap.  Pretty easy gift.  Try making a gift instead of buying.
