Lately I have been so interested in anything crafty and diy. I've made a few things for Abigail and her room so far, and have lots more in mind. :) Next on my list is making her fitted crib sheets and crib skirt. I've been looking around online for bedding I like, but the sets are so expensive and all I want from it are the fitted sheet and skirt, so I've decided I'll just make my own! It will be so much cheaper and will be customized to match her room! I am so excited. My parents gifted me a sewing machine years ago for Christmas when I was in high school, and sad to say the only use I got out of it was making dance costumes one year and have since forgotten how to sew (only knew the basics to begin with but even that I can't remember). I'm hoping lots of online tutorials will do the trick. I will be picking up my sewing machine from my parents tomorrow and will be bringing it to a repair shop to hopefully get it fixed. I remember something not working with it years ago but don't remember what happened and all I know is that it doesn't work now. Hopefully they can fix it and I will be in business. I will definitely post pictures of the finished product (if they turn out decent and once Abigail has a mattress haha).
Another item I've really been wanting to create is a small kitchen island! Our kitchen is open, but not much counterspace to work on, so I think a small kitchen island with casters on the bottom should do the trick. It will be my vision with lots of handy work help from Jim. :) I'm excited for this weekend project! Hopefully we can get it done before Abigail gets here. It will be nice to have a little extra storage space in the kitchen too.
Other items on my craft to-do list:
- spruce up my little office space and create a memo board, erasable calendar, hang a shelf or two and pictures
- make more bows and headbands for Abigail
It has always helped me to put my goals into writing so it becomes tangible to me. I'm hoping all these thoughts will turn into some awesome diy projects. Will post as I complete them. :)
