May Again! (sorry forgot some items)

During May, we also got the privilege to attend Tamera & Mike Brown's Wedding. So much fun! It was a great day.


In February Greg surprised me with a gift. He was in wood shop at school and he made me a bassinet for Calvin (and more I hope in the future). I was in love the moment I saw it.


It was so good that it was put in a UVU Wood Shop Show and Greg received 3rd place. Don't worry the school spelled his name wrong, but Greg fixed it.


Here are some of the other projects Greg completed in Wood Shop. First shelves for the kids. Second picture is the door of his spice cabinet.


Greg is happy, he has decided to get a Minor Degree in Wood Shop/Cabinetry. I just keeping telling him I will support him in whatever he chooses.

Projects!

I have been on this crafting spree. I have a lot of items I want to create or craft. So I am doing them. Here are two that I have finished. I am in love with them both. I can kinda get to involed and let my self down, but I took my time. This first one I found on this website Freshly Picked. It is how to make a chandelier out of wax paper. The project cost me around $10. It looks great in the kid's room. I forgot to take a before picture, but the picture of the before light on the website is the same as the kid's light.
Mckenly loves it as well. Which is a good thing. It's not coming down. :)
My other project is one step from being done. I have a pair of old white shoes. I don't even remember where I bought them. I didn't want to throw them away. I was in blogland yesterday and I saw a post that someone painted their shoes. That is when I started googling Shoe Redo. I can to this. I found this great website Grosgrain and bam a redo for a flat. Just what I was looking for. I was givein a bag of fabric from a YW Leader for a YW project. In the pile of fabric was a yellow/white/brown printed fabric. I knew I wanted to save it for something fun. Lisa one of my friends wore yellow shoes to church last week. Since then I wanted yellow shoes. So the cute fabric became my new shoe. I did remember to take a before picture. This is sad, the shoe just needed to be in the trash.
I love flats as much as heels. I wore this out. So I started with taking off the ribbon and bow that went around the shoe. then I followed these steps here till I got this.

I still need to glue in the white fabric for the sole. I am also going to buy a ribbon to go around the top. The Mod Podge is kinda rough, but all in all I love my yellow shoes! More projects are to come
