She has the most adorable patterns, I simply adore them.
Now, I don't know how to quilt - my grandmother taught me when I was 12 and I have since forgotten, but that is a goal of mine for 2010: take a quilting class...maybe with my mom? She is big on crafting, sewing - I love that about her. And I want to be more like that for sure.
When my grandmother taught me to sew, she also gifted to me her sewing machine, sadly it's been out of use the last couple years, though I used to use it more as a teenager.



As soon as my mister gets settled into his apartment (he'll be moving here in March, and I'll move in right after the wedding), I hope to start making things like this for our home. (I would start now, only I have no place for any additional things, I'm currently sharing a room with my 5 yr old sister, and it's small as it is)

I love the "love" wall art. It is simply splendid.

Okay, I simply had to share this because it is way too cute.

This is my craft for the week (I normally don't have a craft of the week, but maybe I should haha), and as soon as I make a few, I will be posting pictures.


I found an online pattern for how to make these, and from the looks of it, it's super easy!
(you can find the pattern here)

Oh and I'm also considering making it a wedding favor, but I'm going to look into the cost and time first:



My mom and I have so much fabric laying around the house, and I think these would be cute both individually and as a mobile...and I will definitely be displaying these in my house once my fiance and I get married.

Speaking of house decorations.. found something else I love that I am looking into getting for our home:


This is one of my favorite, but you can check out the sellers additional wall vinyls HERE. They do custom orders as well (I have never personally ordered from them however), and I think it would be so neat to somehow get a silhouette of my fiance and I, standing together hand in hand, or embracing or something similar.
Maybe a silhouette of this picture:

I love any DIY or fun home decor projects and ideas, feel free to share your favorites!
