crafting – Lauren Corcur

I built a dresser (pre-Covid-19). Well, the hubs and I built the dresser. Basically, I started it. I did the body, he came in halfway, said “I want to help”, then built all the drawers cause he’s awesome like that.

It’s like legos for adults.

After many hours we got it finished! Huzzah! All is right with the world!

It is now in its proper place in my craft room! See how nice it looks with my pegboard.

Why yes, I do have a ribbon habit.

I’m really happy with how much storage this dresser has in it. Right now I have one drawer empty. I’m assuming that will get filled up with fabric. Or, quite possibly, I just need to go through my fabric collection and donate what I never plan on using so that other drawers are freed up.

Nah.

And with that, my craft room is mostly done! I say mostly because whose craft room is ever actually finished. I am patiently awaiting the day I want to add more stuff. It’ll happen. Just you wait and see.

One of my favorite hobbies is embroidery. Among other things, I find it soothing and relaxing.

The hubs and I are gaining a new niece this year! How exciting!

These two things are connected. I promise. I’m not just randomly talking about two unrelated events and/or occurrences.

See, I am going to be making an embroidered gift for the new baby. I’d been looking for ideas on ETSY, something I could take inspiration from without actually stealing their work. That is no good the stealing of work!

I stumbled across this one Etsy shop. I can’t link it for fear that my sister in law might see it and have the gift spoiled. Suffice it to say, inspiration struck.

I spent the last couple of days looking at line art online. and I managed to come up with something pretty cool.
