bring on the DIY

Yes I am putting myself into DIY mode. Moving in to a larger home and having a budget of, oh, around $0 to spend it is crafty, crafty times. Hopefully not crafty, crappy times. Such a fine line, isn't it?
In no particular order here are some of the projects:

Ok I am pretty sure I can go to Fabricland and get this weird, felty, ribbony things in a bunch of rainbow colours and create a awesome playroom rug-mat like the above blanket.  

So we have a  white house and it is winter here, for far too long. Also we have a awesome covered patio that could use some super whimsical out door lights. So goal is make something similar to bring colour and solar fun.

 I will be adding this wonderful girliness as soon as I get my hands on some christmas garland and the like. Fabricland might have to scoured again.

 Also this is just screaming to be made for a spring, summer jacket ( cause who are we kidding, it not tropical here.) Girly but wait for it... not pink! Thank goodnesssssss.

Save the most for last. I am going to use these ideas: Recover my puffs, repaint the fire place surround white, make a large coffee table ( enter ghetto/charming stained plywood) and lastly find me some shelves, or yes some how make some shelves. 

Have I forgotten all the art ideas in my head and what about that DIY wall letter project I just watched on Apartment Therapy. 

It makes me wonder what will actually get done and how long it will all take.
