Got all the fabric together. Isn't it perfect for a baby?

Pizza Sandwich

What do you do when your kid wants pizza for dinner, but you don't want to make a whole pizza for a 2-year-old? Answer, the pizza sandwich.
Took a piece of bread, spread on marinara sauce, topped with mozzerella cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds. Presto, yummy pizza sandwich.

Crib bedding

I can't give away too many details, but I am so excited about my next project! Stuffed bumper, ruffled cribskirt, layered valance, fabric that you just want to eat up because it's so sweet! I'm so ready to start, but I'm making extra sure to measure twice, cut once with this project-so it's going to take a bit more planning before I can actually start sewing. Wish me luck!

More shoes


Picture taken with my camera phone, so they don't look very good.

Make-up board

My sister and I made this today. It's a make-up board.




We got the idea from here: Laura's Thoughts

Now all we have to do is glue the make-up on the magnets (those little dots)

Sun suits and shoes

What I've been making a lot of lately is shoes: (These I finished the other day, the rest are in pieces still)


But I intend to make another one (or two) of these:

Sofa table

Since we decided that we wanted to decorate the front room with all our Asian stuff, I've been thinking about sofa tables. These are two of my favorites that I can find:





They're both at orientalfurniture.com. But I don't want to spend $200 (before shipping) on something like that. So I think I'm going to try to make one. I found this:

I think I'm going to try it once I'm done with some of my other projects.

Desk to Sewing Table

Everytime I sew, I take over the kitchen table so that it cannot be used for it's intended purpose. So when I saw this beauty on craigslist (for free) it was worth the half hour drive to go get it:
I don't even have to refinish it.

This is the drawer for the keyboard to go on.
I put some nails in it for thread to go on.


Now I feel like I need to buy more thread!

"C"-the final product!

Do you remember this pink "C" I had found at TJ Maxx a long time ago? I'd almost forgotten, too.

But, since we've been working on the dresser, I figured I'd practice glazing.


Following the instructions found here: http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/2010/03/glazing-furniture-101.html I let the glaze sit on for around 20-30 minutes, and I did 3 coats. This is the end result:

Doesn't it look awesome? :)

Dresser-stripped

Doesn't the wood look cool once the paint was off?


Unfortunately, we're still going to have to paint it because we have to patch; one of the drawers has a crack:

But I still think the wood looks really neat!

Frog Pod


Finished this one yesterday.

Sweet Spinach Salad, my favorite!

I don't have the ingredients right now (but we get paid tomorrow, so we will!), so I just looked up these pictures on google images:


Half a bag of baby spinach


Half a can of mandarin oranges



Half a bag of craisins




Half a bag of almond slivers
Mix it all together.





Top with Brianna's Poppy Seed Dressing.

Amazing!

Orange Juice

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. When you've picked two crates full of oranges, you make orange juice.

I forgot to take a before picture, but this is what the oranges looked like:

This is my work station:
And this is what one crate of oranges looks like after juicing!
Why so many oranges for only one gallon of orange juice you ask? Well, this is all the juice you get out of one orange:
