I have some wonderfully stretchy fabric - I think its jersey? - that I'm going to try and make a DIY hair wrap with. Something to keep my bangs out of my face while I paint or work around the house. I also need to finish my curtains for my office (it's been six months since I started the project) and finish up a rough draft of a 1st birthday invitation for a friend 
What about you? Share! Inspire! Create!

That sounds fun. I'm making felt sushi rolls for my daughters new play kitchen. I'm hopping to pull together some nice photos so that I can post them.

The hubs and I are in the process of finally getting up a backsplash in our kitchen. Though I'm not able to help as much 'cause of the baby. But it's coming along

@NaturallyCathy: I love headbands but have never made myself any. I really ought to!!
I just finished a buckle toy, and we are hoping to hang a gallery wall above the bed this weekend!

@cmomma17: that's kind of you- but that is a truly easy project! Under an hour if you're not photographing along the way.

Just finished a slew of curtains and one more set to go (at least for now). For E's room, they were Pottery Barn inspired and lined with blackout fabric. Sheers for the dining room, linens for the living room and den, and more blackout lined curtains for the guest room. I'll put up pics when I get the guest room curtains up, as I finished those late last night.

we're in the middle of refinishing a cheap craigslist-found dresser to match the expresso colored crib for the nursery! DH's first DIY project and he is totallly in his element will edit with pictures when we put it back together!

@GreenThumb: So cute! I'm thinking of making a mobile. Where did you get the hanging part?

@Mrs.Someone: Thanks so much! I got the mobile on Amazon:

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Eeeee! Super exciting
@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 
@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.
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!
@Espion: Please do, I'd love to see them!!

Wow, these are all amazing! Where do you all get these ideas?
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!

@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.
@Mrs. Coral: I really ought to be doing that! What are you planting?
@mrs.shinerbock: Awwww how precious
@GreenThumb: Super sweet! Love the pattern and materials 
Is it going to be an elephant themed nursery or green and pink?

@KelLeeLeee: Is Elbe a brand of furniture? I'm unfamiliar with it. Where do you find it?
@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!
@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
@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.

@Mama Bird: You have me curious, you'll have to share pictures Of the book and the blanket
ETA: I have a blanket that was started in 2009? 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".

@NaturallyCathy: truthfully I had no idea that they had garters for prom either, that was news to me! It's pretty much just for their dates to wear around their arms.

My mom gave me a little vanity chair that she didn't want any more. It's a gold wire chair with a cushion seat. I just spay painted it black and will eventually recover the seat with a different fabric (currently old-lady-floral).
Unfortunately I didn't take a before pic, but I will take an in-between and after pic!

@mrs bunchy: that's so cool!
I made my DD a bird costume for her school play.

@mrs bunchy: Wow, great job! I love rehabbing old chairs too, but unfortunately I don't need any more and can't figure out how to sell them

@T-Mom: That's awesome!
@mrs bunchy: I think I'm glad I'm too nervous to re-upholster something. I think it could get addicting!
@NaturallyCathy: Here's E's curtains (blackout lined, the bottom is hand-dyed navy blue) (first picture)
The new curtains for the guest room (I had to order hardware on amazon so, won't be going up for a while.) (second picture)
And a new quilt top for one of DH's friends who is having a baby! (@scg00387: Ok, ok, thank you. As long as I swear off triangles, I seem to be okay. That and very simply patterned and small baby-sized quilts!)

I'm making a dress as a surprise for a friends' LO, so I won't post any pictures of it just in case she lurks here.

These projects are awesome! I wish I had time to DIY anything, lol. I'm just making infinity scarves like crazy. They are super quick and easy to make.

@Dandelion: @Smurfette: @Espion: Thanks, ladies! When I showed it to my DD she asked why it didn't have a tail since parrots have tails, haha. Everyone's a critic!

@mrs bunchy: Okay, that card catalog is awesome! 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
@T-Mom: Super cute! I'm so impressed and I'm sure it looked amazing in action!
@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 And that little quilt? To die for. Super jealous
