Plastic chains...

...instead of paper chains!

Because we have too many strawberry milk bottles these days and I hate just tossing them. So with a little help of neon washi tape, we're making a plastic chain.

 A little Christmas washi tape and it's even seasonal.

Converted picture frame

I've gotten this picture frame a few years ago and never managed to do something with it. Until this morning. We don't have a nice painting to put in there, but with my new Instax and the occasional postcard, I have something. ;)

Quick Saturday afternoon craft

for my kids. The lie minions, so I cut the pieces and they had to glue it together themselves. 

Ikea hack of sorts

Sorting through stuff, I came across this Ikea pillow case. From an old couch, I think, but who knows? 

Anyhoo, I was almost tossing it, when I realized I could just as well make it into a duffel bag instead. We'll need a lot of suitcases, etc very soon and why spend money if I can make it with scraps for free?

It took about 20mins to sew -because, yes. I'm eyeballing everything. ;)

But: I have a new duffel bag and don't have to feel bad about tossing fabric. 

new shopping bag

I hate, hate, hate these millions of plastic bags and we left a lot of fabric totes when we move here.
Perfect opportunity to make new ones! (While catching up on Castle. ;))

Pimped Patapum in 30 mins

I like our Patapum. I however am a little bored with the color only 2 weeks into it.
So I decided to pimp it up quickly by sewing on an extra front panel. It took all but 30mins to do and I love it.
Sure, it's not a slipcover, but that just sounded like a lot of work for a Monday evening.

Thursday morning craft

I wanted a shower and tv for the girly kid was not an option.
But: we have a ton of paper bags (even though I always have fabric totes with me!). So why not use it?

I helped with making little triangles for girly kid and she did the rest.
All of it.

It turned out pretty cool!

Camera case

My little camera needed to have a case. 2 years after it moved in...

I spend 20 minutes (including cutting the fabric) on this simple case. And it shows on the inside.
But.
Who cares?

Reusable wipes

I have replaced our stack of ugly, beaten up fabric wipes with these.
We never seem to have enough at our house.

I saw a roll of cotton wipes on etsy and loved the idea to store them like this!
