since the whole point of this blog of mine is to share creative juices (mine, yours, others i find on the internets), i thought it only fitting to have a little list or field guide (if you will) to some of the projects i’ve done or plan to do (or wish i had time or a reason to do).
some have tutorials written by me, some have tutorials done by others, and some have no tutorial at all! if the tutorial was written by someone else, the image will either link you to my post (which will have a link to the original tute) or directly to the author’s tutorial (if i didn’t actually post about it). if there’s no tutorial, i’ll link to whatever post i mentioned the project in. but if you ask nicely, i might write one up and post a tutorial just for you!
some deal with wood-working, others with sewing, cooking, painting, renovating, etc, and some projects are just because!
DONE:
click the various images to go to my blog posts about the project or to go to the tutorial i used (if i haven’t posted about it). these are in no particular order:
Plush Airplane - would you like a tutorial? let me know!
Magazine Gift Bows - tutorial by How About Orange
Bathroom Renovation Beast - completed
Added Shelf in Bathroom Vanity - super simple project!
Leaf Collage - perfectly themed with the rest of the nursery
Window Seat - this is now recovered with fabric that DOESN'T match the cats
Rag Quilt - Inspired by Pottery Barn quilt
T-Shirt Pom Poms Tutorial (and image) by Craftaholics Anonymous - i have attempted and failed at these

Homemade Steering Wheel Cover - for the man who LOVES a custom interior
Homemade MP3 Player Holster - definitely not the prettiest one out there
Amish Baby Puzzle Ball - made for friends who are expecting their first child

TO DO and/or COMING SOON:
please note that these pictures below are NOT my own, but i would LOVE for you to click on them to see the original tutorial’s website. i’m sure the tutorial authors would appreciate it to, so check them out in all their glory (and to see other awesome tutorials)!
