Crafts Crafts and more Crafts!!!

I'm excited to start making more crafts this year.  I already have a few projects planned.

From my trusted pinterest site are few fun projects I hope to accomplish very soon.




I want to spell out the word love and hang it in my office.  Not sure what color I will go with...but it seems like a fun project.




I love this HP little necklace.  I might be making this at my jewelry making party.

and these...

I really want to get into stamped jewelry.





More projects for the office...

Floating shelves...

This seems fun and easy enough in photoshop.


This would be cool on canvas as well...





and finally...I want to make a life quilt.  I want to take clothing pieces that I have saved through the years and make a giant quilt from them.  I might make a quilt and frame it.  I'm a nerd but I save everything.  I still have the shirt I wore on my first date with my husband. From prom dresses to my punk rock, Nancy Spungen phase.  I have all the kids coming home outfits and clothes that I loved them in.  This is my most favorite project to come.  I might have a sewing circle sometime with friends and have everyone start on their own life quilts.

I love the life quilt. My mom offered to make me a t-shirt quilt when I was in college. I wish I would have let her. I still have shirts from high school! Many of the shirts she would have used got so worn out from wash and wear. I do have a lot of my kids's clothes though. Maybe I should try it!

That would have been cool to have a T-shirt quilt. (Thinking back of all the band phases I've gone through...hah.) You should do it with your kids clothes. I think it's a fun idea. Now I just need to sharpen my sewing skills ; ) I think it would be cool to sew the pieces together and frame it too. Like these...
