Crafty Mama

I haven't put a lot of detail on this blog about all the changes that are happening around here...to keep the story short, we moved from Oregon about 10 weeks ago, and now we are moving again! I know, we are honestly crazy. I just hung my last set of curtains about 2 weeks ago, and now everything is getting packed back up. I thought it would be at least a couple years before we booked a rental truck again, but here we are, becoming great buddies with the guys at Uhaul. Anyway, with all the changes and craziness of our life right now, I have not been in a huge project mood. I have been cleaning out and organizing like crazy! But that's not super fun to read about. My cute mom, on the other hand, has been crafting away all summer long, so I thought I would show you a few glimpses of what she's been up to!

This darling chevron patterned quilt she has been making by piecing together fat quarters. Are you kidding? So cute!!


Next up, she completely refinished this little cabinet...but I don't have a before picture! Let's just say it was not pretty. It lives in her front room, a beautiful room with a big grand piano. It houses all of the piano music, so it is a necessary piece, but it was a dark, dated wood with dated hardware...just dated.
So she sanded it down, spray painted it cream, then antiqued it.

She also added these feet, making it a beautiful piece of furniture!

She is also a master sewer (seamstress..er...obviously I'm not, I don't even know what it's called)
She made this skirt for my little gal


And with the extra, made a baby skirt and shoes. 

So there ya have it, folks! My super talented mama! Hopefully after this next move, things will die down a bit and I cane get down to business!

A Thrifty Cupboard

My mom found this cute little cupboard for five dollars at a yard sale. My husband's parents brought it up when they came to visit in October, and hubby got straight to work sanding it down,




Priming it to get rid of that crazy reddish purple


Adding a few coats of cream paint and some red crystal knobs, and we have a new kitchen for Brynlie for Christmas!

I got a great deal on some Melissa and Doug play food, some stainless steel pots and pans, and my mom made her the most darling apron ever. I'll post pictures when it's all put together on Christmas morning! Can't wait!
