It's official I'm obsessed

I'm not sure why I resist popular trends so much, but I do.  When everybody was talking about and going crazy for Pinterest I decided to avoid it.  After a while of constantly hearing about it or seeing things posted on Facebook I decided it might be kind of useful, so I checked it out.  I started out slowly, but now I'm pinning things like crazy.  I have found great ideas and have used many of them.  It has been a lot of fun and sparked the creative side in me.  It has also been therapeutic during our remodel.  I'm glad I finally jumped on the bandwagon and in the future I need to not be so stubborn about trying new things.

Here are a few more things I've made...

Hair bow and flower holder.  I got a really cool old frame at Good Will and spray painted it.  I then found cheap fabric at Joann's for the background and ribbon I had around the house.  Ava loves it and even wears more hair things now this is up on display in her room.

Pillowcase skirt.  I don't really sew, but I'm learning.  This was super easy and cheap.  I bought a pillowcase at a thrift store and only had to sew a waistband since the bottom is already hemmed (open part of pillowcase).

Terra Cotta birdbath.  This is what we started with.

This is what the birdbath looks like now.  Spray painted and glued together.

This was not on Pinterest.  This is something Ava and I came up with on our own.  We found this old globe at Good Will and Ava fell in love.  She loves talking about the earth and the fact we live on it.  I could not pass up this unique and cheap deal, so I sent Rich a text to see if we could hang this somehow.  He said probably, so Ava came home with the world in her hands.  She even made me put it on the seat next to her for the car ride home.
