This is my crafty post!

So there's not too many crafty little projects I do. Sometimes I attempt to scrapbook, but at the moment, its just too much of a hassle to take out and put away, and since there's not a whole lot of living space for us, I do have to worry about keeping things clean. There are a few things I've done though, I made the headboard above our bed, some might have seen the pictures posted on facebook when I did it, and I just made a pillow. Yes, I HAND sewed a pillow. And I've made pillows before, but not by hand, so this one was kind of a pain in the butt, I just don't have a sewing machine so I didn't really have any choice. I did have fun making the pillow though, it gave me something to do. While getting the fabric, I saw some that I'd like to make some things for Isabella out of, so maybe I found my hobby! haha I'll just have to invest in a sewing machine to really enjoy it though. So anyway, here are pictures of my headboard.


It's not much, but until we're in our own place it doesn't make sense to go get bedroom furniture, although, we have some picked out. :) But all this headboard is, is some plywood, padding, some fabric, then there are 3 buttons along the top. It's really easy! That's what's so great about it.
The pillow I made is for Jeff. He had this t-shirt with A TON of holes in it, and he kept wearing it! I told him I'd make him a pillow out of it, so he could still have it awhile ago, so finally I decided I would. Now, its not the best looking pillow, but its still a functioning pillow and it does what its supposed to! So here are those pictures.


Like I said, not perfect, but its not horrible. I have no idea what exactly he's gonna do with it, but hey, maybe eventually he can put it in his very own man cave. haha
So, tomorrow I'm going to be cooking. Well, baking technically. I'm making us dinner. I'm gonna make pesto fettuccine and put it into bread bowls, and then for dessert brownies from scratch!! I'm really excited, but really nervous at the same time. I hope everything turns out like its supposed to. So tommorrow might be my cooking post, or at least this weekend, cause Isabella goes to the doctor Friday, so I might just wait and combine the two. But I will definitely be posting how the dinner is. Wish me luck!!
