I needed more storage and it was too wet to go outside and play...

this is a cabinet in my office that houses my

can't.live.without.it.televison

on the top shelf

and

doors on the bottom

that hide all my camera and ipod things like cords and chargers

and

all that other stuff that you can't breathe without

but

has to be stored away because seeing those things out all the time takes years off your life

and

then there are

the dreaded middle shelves that do nothing but ask to be dusted

and

today I told them I'd had it

so I rummaged through my fabric scraps to see if I had anything

large enough to play with that was somewhat pleasing to the eye

because

it was pouring outside and I was too lazy to go to joann's to look for fabric that

would be perfect

~~

maybe you should know that I used to sew all the time

window treatments were my speciality

~just thought I'd throw that in~

~~

so I whipped out my tools

and

cut and ironed away for an hour

~yes...only an hour of my time~

and

now here's a trick I'll share with you because I'm nice that way

~~

I have a great sewing machine that has had years and years of love

but

when I make something simple like this

I use the iron on adhesive strips to make all my hems and the rod pocket

~~

tell me you already know about this amazing stuff and if you don't run now and get yourself some to play with

anyhow

I had one piece of fabric just barely big enough for a rod pocket and hemming

but

its simple amish little house on the prairie look works

for now

and

gives me storage and less dusting

~

really

that's all a girl needs sometimes to make her really happy
