More fun projects...

I really need to stop looking around the blogosphere and finding projects that I want to do, because, honestly, I think at this point, I probably have enough projects to keep me busy through several years!

Nevertheless, some of my latest finds:

Recycled Book Art

Re-upholstery Project: Chair

Lamp Re-Vamp

 Subway Art

Glazed Washer Necklaces or Stamped Washer Necklaces
 Infinity Dress

Plans for the weekend include hitting up some of the local thrift stores to see what fun items I can find and repurpose! Here's hoping I find some bed side tables!

Amazing!

It is quite a shame that I have no birthdays/holidays/special occasions coming up in my life where I could receive one of these lovelies:

I could use a reminder of any of the intentions in this collection!

Crafty!

So, I have been working on a few small craft projects recently. I made a few more of the ribbon necklaces like I posted about before and gave them to a couple of my co-workers.

I also followed A's DIY tutorial over at academichic.com to create an embellished t-shirt for spring. I got the base shirt for about $10 at Target and cut up an old tank top that didn't really fit anymore (and was practically the exact same color) for the flowers. The flowers are about 3 different sizes and I attached 5 total, working from smallest by my shoulder to largest at the bottom. The shirt was definitely a departure from my general wardrobe, but the shirt was the perfect pop of spring on a rainy Friday at work! Perhaps I will add some more fun embellishments to some other t-shirts for this spring...

It has been fun to stretch my creative and artistic side a bit more recently (especially when I spend most of my work days doing very similar tasks). We'll see what fun project I come up with next! I did pick up some canvases to potentially make some art for my office walls...

Crafting

Last weekend, I channeled my inner LCD, who is probably the most creative person I know.

I saw this necklace and first thought, "That is really cool. I want one." And then I thought, "Wait, I could probably make that!"

So I bought some ribbon and some beads and this is what I ended up with:




The top one is brown ribbon with large blue-gray glass beads, and the bottom is purple ribbon with medium-sized silver beads. They were really easy to make and could really be tailored to whatever color combination and bead texture you would want. I already have a few coworkers who either want to learn how to make them or just have me make some for them!
