So,..... what do you DO all day? (aka the Pinterest Blog)

Just thought I would answer a question that have gotten asked a LOT these last few months.... I am so blessed to have an amazing husband that works so hard for our family!!!  His hard work has allowed me to stop working before the baby comes and has made the end of this pregnancy SO much more enjoyable than the first part!  Here are some pictures of some of the projects I've been working on..... (besides cleaning and reorganizing my entire house like a crazy lady) I figured nobody would want to see my re-organized bathroom cupboards, fully stocked pantry, or sparkling baseboards.... here are some of the cuter projects for this bloggy show and tell....

First of all, I have to give props to Pinterest!  SO many great ideas have inspired me to tap into my crafty side during this calm season of life!  I have loved it and I hope to continue to do some crafty stuff after the baby gets here!

First up is my amazing jewelry holder!  I have to admit that I merely mentioned the concept of this to Chuck and the next thing I knew he was making it happen!  Teamwork!  This jewelry display is made out of an old mirror frame that we had in our shed.... a little paint, some hooks, some wire mesh... voila!

The first thing I attacked when we bought the house was the laundry room... i know, seems strange even to me, but I wanted to start with a small project to feel like i had accomplished something.  Now i love my cheerful yellow laundry room!  I have never been a fan of the wash tub in the laundry room..... and while my grandma was here over Thanksgiving, she helped me find a cute disguise for the ugly sink!  She is amazing with a sewing machine!  It was so much fun to go shop for fabric, assist in her sewing (ok, ok, she didn't need my help at all, but i did the ironing...) and then see it all come together!  I LOVE my laundry room even more now! And I have been told that I will spend even more time in there when baby gets here!

 Another little piece of heaven in the laundry room is the "chandelier".... Chuck re-purposed an old light and I added the bling.... hmmmm i'm kind of noticing a trend here with these projects!

 I was so inspired by my mee-maw's sewing skills that I tried my hand at sewing too!  I was very inspired by my friend Kelli's gift to us (which you can see here), and I found a tutorial on Pinterest!  So while my grandma was still here over the holidays I dusted off my mom's sewing machine and made some cute burp cloths!  Yes, I made these.... Meems just helped me set up the machine.... and trouble shoot as necessary! I was so psyched to find a fun way to use some of the leftover fabric from the sink skirt project!

Next is my JOY sign...i also made  BOO sign for Halloween earlier this year... another Pinterest find.... it's amazing what you can do with a little Mod Podge and scrap book paper!

 Speaking of Mod Podge... i love that stuff! I also used it to make a 3D photo collage using pictures that I took while in Giverny a couple of summers ago... again, thanks to my nesting craze a lot of "some day" projects have become a reality!

So there you have it!  A small glimpse of what I've been doing with all of my spare time...  Hope this inspires the Pinterest fanatic in you!
