crafting

i was in a crafting mood this weekend. i got together my leftover scraps of fabric (from thrifted men's dress shirts & placemats) & started cutting out triangles for some bunting to decorate my home for my birthday on sunday. i have fun plans this week for my birthday week!i also have been wanting to find a good cover for my laptop & decided to make one instead of buy one. i'm quite pleased with how it turned out! i'm really not a sewer, but i even included a vintage zipper : )this afternoon i taught my art & craft class. the girls learned how to make paper. we had to do it inside though because it was raining all day (yay!!). lastly i want to share this trailer that i found from alaina for a movie that is coming out next year by gus van sant. looks pretty good!

  1. That's definitely a creative way to put extra fabric scraps to good use. And the laptop cover was a great idea too! I should attempt making one for mine, except it probably wouldn't turn out nearly as good as yours, hehe. ;)

    And hold the phone, that movie looks incredibly good! Especially with Mia Wasikowska being involved in all. Okay, definitely want to see that now.

  3. I posted that trailer on my blog one day before Alaina. P:

    I think I came across it on youtube because I was looking at Beastly trailers.
