Crafts galore

Lately I have been in a crafting mood. I decided what my birthday party theme was going to be 3 months in advance so that I could do lots of DIY projects. I am becoming obsessed! My theme is going to be superheros. And so that means making Masks and capes! Which is super fun. I'm not going to lie, the eye holes on my masks aren't even, and the sewing is a tad messy. (my sewing machine is on its final legs and reaching the sad sad death that it has been looking forward to since we met) But they are turning out pretty awesome. Each one is different and mildly unique. I am pretty jazzed with how they are coming out.
Besides of the masks I made a banner which was going to be in bright superhero like colors (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue...) but they ended up more circus (purple, pink, blue, yellow.) I may attempt to do another banner for the party when it gets closer, and when I have the time to search out material that would make a lovely banner for a boy... (one that I can give away) but right now I am making a dress that is supposed to take about 30 minutes to make. I did my first cut of the material and its just a few minutes before 4. If I have this done by 5 then I will agree it is an easy project that takes minimal skill and less time then a normal project will take. (I say 5 because I have the a.d.d of a 7 year old boy that was given Candy. I in no way can focus. Though I do want to wear my dress tonight. Its going to be purple on the bottom and white on the top. Well.. time for me to focus. Besides I ended up going up to Walmart and buying a $80 brother sewing machine. (I am pretty sure it screamed my name from the moment I walked in the store. It knew I needed something that was pretty much put together and cheap. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to gather on the new machine so its off to old trusty and sew up the gather. YAY for being domestic!!

I am pretty sure if there is a DIY project that takes minimal skill and supplies I will be trying it this year.

Maybe I will even make my Christmas presents instead of spending oodles of money on useless crap.. when I can MAKE useless crap!!
