Jealous of your find :) And that chair looks great! Reminds me of a chair I thought about recovering but ultimately decided I liked it as it was in all its retro glory</p> <p>@T-Mom: Super cute! I'm so impressed and I'm sure it looked amazing in action!</p> <p>@Espion: I love all of those so much! And your curtains look way better than mine. I admit I made the super simple sew two pieces of fabric together and make a pocket for the rod method :P And that little quilt? To die for. Super jealous &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1658924 Mon, 26 May 2014 18:20:16 +0000 T-Mom 1658924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: @Smurfette: @Espion: Thanks, ladies!

It's a gold wire chair with a cushion seat.

I affectionately call it the Impossible Blanket Project. I was supposed to finish it before hubs and I married back in 2011 as a wedding present to him. It's still sitting in a plastic tote on a shelf in my office. In fact, I can see it from where I'm sitting, neatly labelled "The Impossible Blanket Project". :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1657590 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:20:29 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1657590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KelLeeLeee: Is Elbe a brand of furniture? I'm unfamiliar with it. Where do you find it?</p> <p>@Arden: Ooooo exciting. What kind of RV? Hubs and his family have always done RVs and my family has always done Airstreams, so small living is a fond family tradition here!</p> <p>@MrsBrewer: It did! I saw it on IG. But I must admit, I am unfamiliar with this tradition. But to be fair, I didn't really pay attention to prom until my senior year and my dress was pretty much last minute awesomeness made by my mother :)</p> <p>@Mrsjets: How sweet! And I love the picture of him playing with it. Great job! I really need to get my act together and make one myself. There's a local Habitat for Humanity store that I'm sure I can find most if not all of my materials for cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1657585 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:17:17 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1657585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: That's exciting! I wish I had the confidence to tackle a furniture update. There's a lot of pieces around here that really need that extra something that can only be accomplished by a good coat of paint.</p> <p>@Mrs. Coral: I really ought to be doing that! What are you planting?</p> <p>@mrs.shinerbock: Awwww how precious :)</p> <p>@GreenThumb: Super sweet! Love the pattern and materials &lt;3 Is it going to be an elephant themed nursery or green and pink? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1657579 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:09:38 +0000 Mama Bird 1657579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, these are all amazing! Where do you all get these ideas?</p> <p>I'm working on a fabric baby book. I have a lot of old shirts with nice fabric, so it would be nice to make a book that a baby can't rip up and that can be washed. Not much time for it though... been working on it since last fall! No idea who it's for, yet, but I started DS's favorite baby blanket three years before he was born :) Hopefully by the time this project is done, there will be someone to give it to in the family, or at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1657576 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:06:33 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1657576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Eeeee! Super exciting :)</p> <p>@PixieStix: Awesome, our kitchen definitely needs a lot of love. And baby excuses are the best. Mine are now toddler excuses. I freely admit to using "I would but it'll mess up their nap time" on a regular basis with my ILs :) ;)</p> <p>@scg00387: I've never made any head bands either! I'm thinking I can pretty much wing it though since I want it a little longer than just going round my head, that way I can use it in different ways if necessary.</p> <p>I saw a project that made me think of you! I need to get with you and see if I can convince you to make it for me ;) Your prowess with the sewing machine trumps mine. As is exhibited by your latest project (which I love and need two of). Great job!</p> <p>@Espion: Please do, I'd love to see them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-latestnext-diy-project#post-1657557 Sun, 25 May 2014 18:45:42 +0000 GreenThumb 1657557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Thanks so much!
