The Crafitness Continues: Picnic Table

I may not be very good at sewing, but I do well with wood, haha! For some reason I've been feeling extremely creative lately, and decided to make my own version of Chrissa's Picnic Table.

With some scrap plywood, glue, nails, screws, and green/white paint I was able to make a pretty good rendition of the table, adding my own touches and adjusting measurements as well. It may not be perfect, and turned out a little smaller than I would have liked, but still, not too bad. I think it is pretty good for a quick afternoon project, and the dolls are glad to have a new table.

Since I've had zero spare time, a photo shoot will probably not be happening all that soon, but I just thought I should post. A spring party will be in the hopefully near future.

Feeling rather crafty at the moment...

Due to various things, I'm feeling rather crafty at the moment. Said various things would be:

• The absolutely lovely swathes of couture that I have seen lately!
  
• Inspiring posts from Nicki and Libby, Sitara, and Rose, just to name a few.
• A recent, early spring photo shoot has also gotten me in the artistic mood. I wish I could share the pictures with you, since I think they turned out pretty good, but they're on my private blog and I'm too lazy to upload them all to here as well.
• I've got quite a lot of time on my hands. Perfect for starting big projects!
  

Well, because of all this, I'm in the mood for sewing something. Now, just a heads up, I cannot sew to save my life. I can somewhat stitch by hand, and I barely know how to operate a sewing machine. The one mildly successful attempt at sewing can be seen here. To this day, I'm not quite sure how that turned out so well, haha!

Anyways, despite all this, I thought I would try my hand at sewing and become one of many people to use the Liberty Jane patterns. I have some lovely, dark military green knit cotton, and some mint green/blue as well, so I will be making some t-shirts (hopefully) tonight. It's some really nice fabric, so I hope I don't totally butcher it.

So, this is my project for tonight. It may possibly take longer than that, though. If I can even get a shirt made that looks like a pillow case with sleeves, I'll be thrilled. So, though the shirts may look horrid, humor me :)

Be prepared for a post showing off my mediocre talent as a seamstress in the near future.
