I've been working on actually executing some of my DIY Pinterest finds. Love pics and love DIY so share some recent projects with me!! 
My three: yarn wreath, Christmas themed canvases, and the scariest: progress shot of sponging my laminate counters for "granite" look! Doesn't look perfect at all, but I HATED my tan counters and we will enventually replace the counters.
SHARE your projects pretty please

@runnerd: Oh I love those canvases!!! I'm not crafty. I pin stuff constantly on pinterest but anything that isn't a recipe or baby ideas goes on the board I named "Stuff I'll never do" because it's the truf.

I love your Merry & Bright canvases!! How'd you get those little dots and perfect text? Your yarn wreath looks so good too! I was going to make one this fall but then got busy and never started it.
I am not very crafty at all, but the past couple days I've been working on a project to put over our mantel. I can't believe I'm putting this picture on the internet because my painting job was pretty sloppy, but here's an "almost finished!" picture of it laying on my sunroom floor:

I posted these before on here, but here are updated pictures of things I made for the nursery over the past few months. Letter A, pinwheel art and quilt.

@twodoghouse: Thanks!! I was really sick of the peach sponge painted walls in there so we just went for it. New counter top, mirror, light paint and hardware did the trick relatively cheaply as far as bathrooms go. DH thinks we will get another 10 years out of it this way.

@rawrasaur love the personalized nursery art!
@twodoghouse: cute letters! on the canvases, I used one of those little clear lids that come on hairspray dipped in paint for the dots, and the letters I printed a font then traced onto scrapbook paper
@prettylizy Love the bathroom! Can't wait to do some updates to mine

We've been working on corn hole. I helped my DH build both boxes and we've gotten the base coat on. Today were going to paint some stripes on it. I'm also going to go pick up fabric to make the bean bags.

@leialou: LOVE LOVE, so fun! i would love to make cornhole game, but we are NOT any good with woodwork projects i know it would prolly be too girly for cornhole, but it would be so fun to paint a chevron pattern on them!

@runnerd: I'd love to do chevron! My DH would never go for it though.

We recently turned a hall closet off the kitchen into a pantry, and we made cornhole boards for my SIL and BIL's wedding this fall. DH did the construction, I did the painting. Sorry for the poor quality! There's a green ring around the hole to match their name and wedding year.
