Project List for 2012

In an effort to keep my creative spark alive I am making my self sticking to my one-project-at-a-time goal for this year. In order to do this I am posting my list of projects for 2012:

1. Overhaul Breakfast Nook - Sewing Cushions, Hanging Curtain, Decorating and Organizing.

2. Beautify Backyard - Raised Garden Beds, Galvanized Tubs for Plants, "Patio Furniture", Outdoor Lighting and "Random" Landscaping. Basically make our backyard more inviting.

3. Dream Bedroom - Headboard, Find a Dresser, Re-finish Tables/storage space, "Hanging Ball of Light", New Bedding, Bed frame and Decorating. **This will happen when I decide on a color scheme***

4. Decorate Livingroom

5. Decorate Kitchen


My list isn't very long, but I'm sure it will grow the more I get into my projects. :)

Sew Many Projects

Sew So...it's been a while hasn't it? Seems I stopped keeping up with my vegan foodie blog around the time we had to pack up our apartment life and move on to our nice cozy home. We moved in towards the end of summer just in time for a new semester to start at school and with things picking up with a new derby league. I don't think I would know how to slow down even if my life depended on it.

I am however trying to not sweat the small stuff and pace myself with projects that I try to under take. Recipes are fewer and father between and I'm ok with that.

I recently discovered Pinterest and my creative spark has ignited once more. Overwhelmingly so. I see so many awesome things I want to try all at once. Seriously, if I could I would stay up all day and night doing crazy craft BS. But over the years I've learned my projects tend to blow up in my face when I get ahead of myself. So now its one project at a time and no jumping ahead of myself until the one I am on is complete. I started small - a few chalk boards for the kitchen.

So looks like this Spring I will be focusing on my Breakfast Nook which is right off of my kitchen. Right now its just being used as storage space for the laundry section. I want to organize the clutter and brighten it up. I'm making cushions for the benches (the benches which double as storage space inside), adding a curtain, organizing and maybe hanging some art pieces.

Sneak Peak at the cushion covers!

Once the Breakfast Nook is done, on to garden prep! Stay tuned!
