Reusing Coffee Sleeves

I collect coffee sleeves. I just hate throwing them away. Last year, I discovered that they were great for covering soap when Allison, Rebekah and I made soap for holiday gifts. The other day I saw this post from here: http://magpieandcake.blogspot.com/2009/12/super-simple-coffee-cardboard-recycled.html and got inspired to make my own coffee sleeve wreath.

Chair makeover

I was watching Craft Lab one day and they were doing a graffiti style chair project. After watching, I decided that upholstering a chair wouldn't be such a hard thing. I am happy with the way this turned out!

Projects to Inspire

I have been inspired by a lot lately, it just feels like there's not enough time. I guess that's the struggle with working....it always feels like there's never enough time to play. Here are some things that I have been inspired by lately:

Plastic bracelets makeover

I went on a hunt for plastic bracelets at thrift stores so I could spice them up. All I did was stamp directly onto the green one with Staz-On brand ink and then did scrapbooking rub-ons with the others. When I was finished, I coated them with a thin coat of polyureathane to they would last longer and have a glossy look.

Learning to Knit!

For the past few weeks I have been taking knitting classes and learning the basics of knitting. I have been wanting to learn for a long time but I finally decided I was going to have to take classes in order to really learn. Here's Beka modeling one of the scarves I made.

I heart retro dishes!

A few weeks ago I got a really GOOD deal on some retro dishes. At one time it used to be 2 complete sets but now it has some missing pieces but it was still a great deal.

On my way to work

I saw this beautiful rainbow.....I just couldn't resist taking a picture.
