Some Summer Crafts

I was very excited to get going on some summer crafts! I really couldn't wait to get out my new sewing machine and put it to work! Here are some of the crafts I have completed!
This took me a long time, but it is my first table runner and matching napkins! I learned much through this process and look forward to many more in the future!

 This was a lovely afternoon watching reruns of I Love Lucy and making table runners for my grandparents anniversary party!
My 4th of July wreath!

 This is a frame that I turned into a dry erase marker board that I will use to remind me of special prayer requests! 

This is a cork board that I covered with fabric so it would look pretty in my kitchen! I needed somewhere to place bills, invitations, etc. where I would see them so that they wouldn't be forgotten about! It has worked great! If you notice in the upper right hand corner, I made a fabric flower out of the same material of my summer table runner so that it matches! I plan on switching it out per season. (We'll see of that really happens! ;) )

I love simply crafts that help to personalize and organize our home!
