Projects

Our office/toy room/dumping ground was getting way too unorganized for my liking. We needed a desk, but only had a table. What was I to do with pens and post-it notes and random scraps of paper, not to mention paper clips and stationary and envelopes? A big craft desk with abundant cubbies and drawers would be perfect. But. Not quite in the budget. So, I found a used desk on kijiji and bought it for a whopping $20. An afternoon spent sanding, and two mornings with a paint brush gave me a nice little desk with ample space for my doodads. (Did you know that "doodads" is an actual word?)

Here is a before picture...

And an after picture...

I've also been wanting to make a little sundress for Laurel. Much like the beloved bunny, I was hoping to do this sans pattern. I think it turned out okay...it might be more of a shirt than a dress, though--I'm not sure if it's going to be long enough for her. I am definitely learning as I go.

And speaking of sewing...here is a little apron I made for Laurel for Christmas this past year.
