070711: My accomplishments of the day...

Yes, on my to do list I had: clean the bathroom, laundry, clean the kitchen, vacuum, etc.  Of that list I did not have on there: convert the extra room into a play room or organize my ribbon, OR not be able to tear myself away from pinterest

Pinterest is a website where you can create these idea boards.  You can find stuff yourself off the internet and pin it, pin your own pics, or repin (which I am the Queen of) other peoples pins.  It is absolutely fabulous!!!!  I literally can spend hours (if I had them) on this site.  So since I can't spend hours, I spend really long minutes on here.  If you want to check it out, let me know and I will add you.  Trust me once you start pinning, you won't be able to stop.

Here are some results of what I did today:

Before: toys in the living room

After: toys in the now "Play Room"

Before: chaotic ribbon box

After: organized ribbon box (tutorial: how to make a ribbon box)

So what I actually can check off of the list...... laundry.

070311: Old pants, New shorts...

Like a sewing freak-a-zoid, I save my scraps.  I'll save t-shirts, old clothing, blankets, yada-yada-yada.  All in hopes that I will give the item new life as something that I can use out of.  Now I should tell you, although I have these reincarnation intentions, I rarely actually do it.  However, today is a different day.

These were some of my favorite winter pants of Ray's:

And now here is Ray's summer shorts:

And here is one happy and cool customer:
