50 Projects, More or Less, 2024

Boooo. That’s no fun!

He is sort of a minimalist in style while I am the opposite. Fortunately, he doesn’t really care what I do in my craft room. He sets up the kitchen the way he likes and his den. We compromise on the living/dining and primary bedroom. I already told him the guest room is going to be a throwback to the 70s (I want to recreate my teenage bedroom that I loved so much…ha…flower power!)

Rebuilding and expanding our deck has been a HUGE time suck. Absolutely a worthwhile project, even though so far it’s been mostly unenjoyable. Part of what’s not fun is it leaves little time and no energy for other (more) creative projects. That said, I did hit 70 projects last week with the throw pillows I recovered for the new deck furniture! I have another, from-scratch, throw pillow in-progress, too. YEY!

I haven’t had a chance to do any kind of crafting since June!

This is my first “crafting” project since we moved in…a small one, but at least it is a move toward more crafting as I get settled!

I am working on getting my guest room set up. It is small so everything in it needs to be just as I envision it. My style is Boho but modern. I had these two lamps when I was living at the beach and had a much more minimalist beachy look for that room. They were fine, but I felt like they needed something.

I dug through my trims stash and found something I thought would work, so I used Fabric Fushion glue and glued on the trim. I didn’t have enough to go around the top, so I will leave them for now, but might add a coordinating trim later. At least it is a project! ha

After:

Yeah…they are two different lamps…I just forgot to take a before picture…they are both done now but I will wait until I finish the room to take more pictures.

I’m taking part more for the tracking than a numerical goal, but I’ve officially hit 50 projects!
