Hello all! I’m back from a little hiatus, largely due to three weeks of illness but I continued to progress quietly in the background.
The WIP basement organization project has been a pretty big undertaking! The main rec space was officially turned into a home gym, which meant a lot of decluttering and moving furniture around. I’m mostly satisfied for now but would like to bring the computer desk and iMac down, to be used as a TV when I do Bodi workouts.
My daughter’s old bedroom was emptied out, which allowed some some craft supplies to be moved in. There’s still a whole lot more to be done, but it’s a start! The photo below shows some of the transformation, with a few handmade items also featured…
Our junk room (basically a bedroom but it doesn’t have a window to be considered official) is kind of organized but kind of a mess. I’ve gone through all the crafts bins, which is great, and my daughter’s bed was moved in there, but there is so much clothing that was donated to me for a fundraiser that I still have to sort through.
There were some stained and/or worn (holes in the bum) jeans that I noticed in the pile, and I thought what better way to upcycle than turn them into a simple quilt! I’ve been laundering and cutting squares during the evening these past couple of weeks, but am still short on the 252 squares needed. I’m not sure I want to wait the project out so I’ll likely go through the stash to look for some flannels. Pictures to come soon!
It’s a good project to work on as we bundle up for another snow storm (50-100cm)!
Otherwise, a quick and easy upcycled craft consisted of turning some Christmas cards I received into gift tags.
