DIY # 6 Laptop Sleeve

I brought a new Mac Laptop last October and I never brought a laptop sleeve for it.

Then I found this cool project

Laptop Sleeve on Pinterest

Although I made mine a little different....

I made the outside sleeve and made felt inside sleeve so I can "plush" up the protector for my beloved laptop. 

I still need to add a button or something to fast the straps to the sleeve so my laptop won't fall out....

But what do you think?!?

The finish product.... kinda....

Laptop in the sleeve... still need to add some kind of holder for the straps... I think buttons or velcro??

Oh well I will decide later so meanwhile the straps will have to be put inside for now! But don't you love it?? I know I do!!

DIY # 5 52 Reasons Why I Love You Cards

I forgot to post this project as # 2 but whatever....

Orginally this idea is from pinterest: 52 Reasons Playing Card

If I had a boyfriend I would do this for him but since I don't have that special someone in my life, I decided to make one for my best friend for Valentine's Day since we are in the same boat. I made each note a little funny like "I love you because: You eat Tiramisu with me" (which is our favorite dessert when we get together!)

I made the notes in Illustrator and printed them and put them through scrapbook sticker machine thingy that my roommate have. (it is the most cool thing ever... it put sticky stuff on the back of the note and you can just put it wherever you want!)

Here's the finished product!

I love it!! My best friend loved it too!!

What did you all did for Valentine's Day??

DIY # 4 Pillow Covers

DIY # 4

Okay as I mentioned the story of how I came up with this Project... go to DIY # 4 

I had some old nurse pants that was handed down to me from a family friend and of course I don't need them but since I do (try) to do some craft and sewing projects I decided to keep most of them as my fabrics. 

I decided to use the light lime green, light blue, and dark blue pants to make the pillow covers.... I only did one and I am exhausted!! Haha!

So here is what I did:

I cut 2 squares and sew 2 sides individually so I can use it as the opening part of the pillow cover and sew both squares together on the other 3 sides. I also added 3 ties to the opening part so I can tie the cover together. 

Then I added 3 felt flowers and added a bead to the middle of each flowers so they can be "real" flowers. 

Here's the result!

One of the pillows from Ikea

The finished piece laid flat.

(I decided to have the ties on the side because I think it is kind of a fashion statement for the pillow instead of having them on the bottom.)

The cover on the pillow!

What do you think?!?

I LOVE it!!

Now I need to make 3 more!! I promise I will post a picture of them all!!

DIY # 3 Felt Flowers

DIY # 3

I saw this cute flowers made out of felt and since I am not a big fan of sewing, I thought this is really simple enough for me to make some.... or.... 10..... :-) 

here's the link... Felted Flowers

Here's the picture.... in case you don't want to be redirected to the link above :-)

Pretty simple huh??

So I began to cut and sew a few then my roommate came home and asked if she could do some as well so I ended up with 25!! 

I know it is only 11 in this picture but I actually have 25 of them! 

NOW.... what do I do with them??

I decided that since I brought 4 pillows from Ikea a couple of years ago and never got around to get some covers for them.... so that gave me an idea for my DIY #4 project! 

DIY #4 coming up!!!!

DIY #1 Faux Letters- On Hold

Hello!

Remember my post where I talked about my favorite blogger? If not, heres the post.

I said that I wanted to do the faux letters for my kitchen or living room and couldn't decide which word to use. I was thinking about "FOOD" since food is number one in my life.... sorta.... (for those who know me well, I get full easily and don't eat that much....) I enjoy going out to restaurants and eat pasta or salad or whatever is good on the menu.... I hate hate hate to cook for just myself and I learned how to cook for more than 3 people. I always feed my family since I was always the first one who get home from school when I was growing up. So when I first moved to my first apartment I cooked for me and my ex so it was easier to cook for 2 then when I moved out and moved in with Adam and Fitch.... (two of the best roommates ever!) I found it really difficult to cook just for myself because I always end up with leftovers and I rarely eat left overs.... (mostly because it taste different than the first time I ate it) There are only some left over foods that I do eat for example: bean casserole, baked mac and cheese, lasagna, pasta, egg salad, salad, sometimes pizza, and maybe tacos that haven't been assembled yet. So you see... I am picky about my leftovers. Haha. Then I moved in with my best friend and her boy friend.... we started out by taking turns cooking every night then somehow we didn't stick to the plan and I ended up cooking for myself again. I sometimes cook big batch of lasagna or casserole or whatever I cook, and bring the half of the batch to my other best friend who lives maybe 15 minutes away because I knew the leftover food won't go into the trash unless it stays with me for a week then I throw them out. Throwing out $$$$ doesn't make me oh not so happy girl. 

anyway.... back to the point... F O O D are the letters I will use for this project... I will just have to keep an eye out for sales at Joann and use my coupons and pick up the letters and papers and get to work on it.... so... the project is onnnnnnn hold!!!!!!

until then.... keep your eyes peeled for the updated post on this DIY #1 project!!!
