I am currently in the middle of no less than 8 crafty projects. I would LOVE to finish one. I keep sabotaging myself though by browsing Etsy and coming up with even more things I can do ma damn self instead of paying someone else. One project I'm even being paid to do and I can't seem to get it done. Wanna see?
The fabric above is for my guest room makeover. Sure, it wasn't covered in my moodboard but it was fabric I had in my stash which means it is free. And free is more important than following rules. Anywho, I decided I would make throw pillow covers for the bed. This is turning out to be interesting since I don't sew. Did I mention I love stitch witchery? Stitch Witchery, call me!
These plastic bags full of tissue paper flowers sitting on my dining room table are what's payin the bills. They're part of a grand centerpiece scheme for my favorite little cousin's high school graduation party. Forget her school colors of blue and gold, she requested pink, purple and orange. Clearly more fun. She's also heading to art school for interior design in the fall. Yay I get to live vicariously through an 18 year old! Anywho, there's actually a deadline for these babies so I better get movin'.
This last one is some supplies I picked up at Michaels to replicate a project for the nursery that would have cost me $29 on etsy. This girl is gonna get it done for $2.40. Sorry independant artists, I appreciate all you do but as you can see, I's gots to pay the bills. But hey, thanks for the inspiration.
So yeah, that's only a random smattering of the piles laying around my house. As far as I can tell, I've got about 9 weeks to get it all done. Wanna help?
