Warning! Craft Cache Overload...


The craft cache is once again overflowing. Some of my I MUST DO THIS, I LOVE THIS! projects:


Cozy Frosty Candles

I'm thinking they would look lovely in muted fall colors. What the heck!? Muted? Yeah right. Wham kazam ORANGE! And RED! And GREEN! Ok, I'm done yelling colors at you.


Fabric Covered Storage Cubes

Because really, could storage cubes be any uglier? Furthermore, does dust HAVE to get permanently stuck into those 18 million crevices that they have? And have you ever stubbed your toe/toes/entire FOOT on those ugly dust ridden cubes? YEOWCH. Methinks I'm not liking my storage cubes too much. Huh.


Gift Wrap Holder

The only problem with this beautiful holder is that I need seventeen of them with which to hold my stash. I may have a slight overabundance of wrapping paper. So WHY do I use gift bags? Dunno.


Repurposing a short-sleeve shirt to a long-sleeved shirt.

Oh wait. I already did this. Go me! I actually did something on my craft cache list! Oh, you wanna see it?

Here ya go:



The stripes were all parts of a 2T sized long-sleeve shirt of Bubbalu's that was hopelessy too small. Mr. Monkey has no name as of yet:



...or eyes. I purposefully 'forgot' to add them as they continually creeped me out. No matter where I placed them they followed me...or made Mr. Monkey look possessed. Not the look you want for your toddler. I have a pile of t-shirt awaiting their turn (and my time and inspiration) at the sewing machine.

OK y'all, link up in the comments to some of your craft Cache I MUST DO THIS, I LOVE THIS! projects. Because I want my craft cache list to go from hopelessy overfull to obscenely impossible.

Happy Crafting!

  1. Could you just use a little black yarn or thread to make eyes?

  2. LOVE these ideas! Especially the wrapping paper one. If only I had my own craft room instead of a corner in my basement. :) But, who said basements don't deserve a bit of chic sass? I posted a short list of things I want to make on my blog today, too -- http://dosoates.blogpost.com

  4. I would love to cover my dusty-toe-bruising storage crates, too! But whenever I click on that link, it says it doesn't work. Do you know where that tutorial is??

  6. Sorry Kari! I redid the link for those storage crates, NO idea why it wasn't working before. Enjoy!

  7. I want that monkey shirt for a girl size 5 and girl size 3, please. Seriously, I love it so much. Mine would need to be in a purple, blue, or red color scheme. Maybe we could do a clothing exchange. I'm just sayin'...

    Hi A!!!!!! Did you miss me? I've been MIA for a long time, but I'm back now. Such a bad blogging friend, right? I've definitely missed my Vintage Dutch Girl =)
