I have no ideas for you though... :/ I can't wait until L gets exciting about crafting with me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-inspired-for-your-diy#post-1716134 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:52:35 +0000 swurlygurl 1716134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My inspiration pretty much comes from Pinterest. But then I get overwhelmed because I have a million projects I want to do! And the ones I want to do the most are the ones that I need a couple misc supplies for, of course... And then I don't really have time to do them, so I never get anything done :(</p> <p>I've started 'assigning' myself crafts to do each weekend. It's my one goal for the weekend - finish ONE thing, no matter how small! I plan for it all week, and make sure I have my supplies so I can do it as I find time on Sat or Sun :)</p> <p>My biggest problem though is that DH doesn't like me to run away to my craft room to play, he wants me to watch TV with him while I work, but then I have to drag all my crap downstairs and put it away when I have to take breaks. Super annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-inspired-for-your-diy#post-1716054 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:30:29 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1716054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shameless bump :) DS saw the straps for his adventure bag (which is what I've dubbed it) and decided it was the beginnings of a bunny. I asked if he wanted me to make him a bunny and he got very excited. So now I have to make a bunny somehow! Any thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-inspired-for-your-diy#post-1714812 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 11:40:03 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1714812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Zbug: DS keeps wanting to take a bag with him everywhere. Which is fine - except he always grabs the bags that are pretty much half as tall as he is. They're huge! So I'm thinking of sewing a bag for him, one that's much more toddler friendly. I could buy a pattern, find a pattern online, but I'll probably just wing it. I'm convinced that I have at least enough skill with my sewing machine to wing it - until proven otherwise, of course ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-inspired-for-your-diy#post-1714810 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 11:37:57 +0000 Zbug 1714810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you!! I really want to make a quote wall, but I'm still figuring out how to go abt it. Currently, I'm just saving a ton of idea on my phone and accomplishing very little. Hopefully, this will change next week. I also want to paint a table. What projects are you looking to do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-get-inspired-for-your-diy#post-1714795 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 11:24:29 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1714795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious. Pinterest has my gears turning and there's a lot of stuff I have on hand that I could use to get rid of if I can figure out how to. Plus the kids have started taking these super long afternoon naps. I'm ready to start planning my next project! But where to start?</p> <p>Where do you start? With a need, a want, an idea? Or do you look at what materials you have - or want to buy - and go from there? What Pinterest post has your creative juices flowing? </p>
