Cute Stuff!!!

The last two craft nights were so great,
I actually finished some projects!!
Thanks Amy and Callie!!!

Love is in the air!

Ok. First. I am IN LOVE with my new ironing board. Ironically, my iron quit working the day after craft night. Usually this is really annoying, and I end up cursing because I think they "sure don't make things like they used to." And appliances should last 20 years...my mom still has appliances she got when she got married! Anyway, I have a new iron (not pictured) to match my board. I think all it needs are some sexy black legs, to match the top. As soon as it warms up, I will spray the legs black.

This was our cake topper when we got married. I like to put it out at Valentines!

Love my crafts! Thank you Amy and Callie!

{So as you can see we are going to be making the iron board covers, and the iron board hangers.}

For these 2 crafts these are the items you will need:

For the covers:

~Your sewing machine (if you have one)

~2 yards fabric of your choice (20x60) (you want me to get your fabric please let me know no later than Sunday night)

~1 spool thread to match

~Twine or elastic enough to fit all around the board




For the iron board hanger:

~I will get the hooks, boards and the paint. (White, Cream, & Black) ~If you want it to say anything please bring your own vinyl words or stencils with you. I will not provide this.

* Unless I hear from you by Sunday night I will assume you are getting your own sewing supplies.

I had this Idea that we could also make a cute board with how to clean laundry guide Our way I will have to keep hunting but this could be really cool and helpful for our families- Guide to stains and more.

Ours would be more like this (they are selling some like this at Michaels) we could put it on a board with words like Fold, Clean………
