Serged Satchel



I think this would be so cute with reclaimed material from clothing!

Great!

gorgeous table & future/current projects

First off, I just ran across this on Design Sponge. I have a coffee table I ended up with after a breakup, and the top of it is screaming for a renovation. It's not quite this shape, but it's that same 50s style. I'm totally inspired!



In other news: I've been making more baby bibs, a pack of pocket protectors made with old atlases and contact paper, and I've redone my craft space, otherwise known as my living room. Very much looking forward to moving in April and finding somewhere with enough space for more projects!

baby bandana drool bib



I'm obsessed with making these baby bibs, some with embroidery, some with terry cloth backings - all made from thrift store finds or from my closet.

revolution coin purse


We're having our camp volunteer appreciation party tonight. We're supposed to bring a <$10 gift for a gift exchange, and something to eat. Although the total cost of supplies was under $3, I spent a good hour and a half making it. So technically I guess it's not under $10 but once I got started I couldn't really stop, could I? Anyway it's inspired me to mess around more with pinch purses. The leather colors are camp colors, the rainbow is for my queerios, and "revolution" is from a quote from a camper turned counselor at one of the last night campfires, "This is not just a camp, it's a revolution."
