My newest projects

I've been really bored lately, so I've decided that I need to do something productive with my time rather than sit and watch tv shows all day long. So now I watch tv shows and make things.

We are having Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt and uncle's house this year so I asked my aunt if I could make some decorations for our tables. Everyone usually does a good job at making our Thanksgiving tables look cute and pretty but I REALLY needed something to do or else I was going to go crazy. She said that she was fine with it as long as I made something for her. haha.

These are what I have so far....


These are going to be table runners. Neither one of them are done yet. I made them out of burlap. I saw a lot of really cute table runners made from burlap on pinterest so I decided to try it. The top one is going to have another line of color. The first three are different kinds of ribbons (you can't really tell from the picture because I took it with my phone but just trust me) I think I'm going to use ric-rac on the fourth line. The bottom one is going to have lace sewed on to the other side as well. I just ran out of the lace. They are both about 4 yards long to fit the length of the table and hopefully plus some so they can hang over the edges.





I made these out of baby blocks. I just painted over the little pictures that were painted on the blocks.
