making stuff

Here's some stuff I made for Elsa's room:





And here's what Elsa made for me:


Here's some other stuff I made a while ago, because my sister asked to see it:



I really think they look a lot better in real life. The colors are so weird on my crappy camera. But, you get the idea.

One of these days I'll unearth my creative streak again - and shamelessly copy your fantastic ideas! :) They all look so amazing!

Thanks, guys. I guess poverty breeds creativity. Just kidding, we're not poverty-stricken. But if I want to decorate, I have to find a really cheap way to do it. So, I've ended up making a lot of things I don't think I would have otherwise.

The bird mobile idea came from www.spoolsewing.com. Click on the blog and then scroll down and there is a free bird pattern.

WOW!!!! You made that stuff? Make some for me too! Or at least tell me how. Now that we are going to be buying a house I have decided to take home decor seriously, which I have never in my life done so far, so I am looking for good ideas, and I might just have to copy you.

I LOVE these birds! I was just on Etsy looking for birds to put up in Izzy's room, but yours 'take the cake!' Beautiful job!

Kara, you are one talented woman!

Elsa's following right in your footsteps with her love of projects. It's fun that you can share that with each other.
