My Laudry Room Continued...

I finished the curtains that go over the washer and dryer. It came out super cute! The only left to really put in there for it to be complete is the wall decal which should be here any day now.


I was watching HGTV's Design Star and saw on their first episode one of the rooms that was done and it had the same fabric that I used in my laundry room! It was so cool. Here is the room, see if you can spot the fabric on the headboards.




That room was gorgeous!

Hopefully I can update next week with final laundry pictures.

My New Project

I was looking through my sewing websites and was looking at Burda Style when I found a project that I have to go try right now. I am going to make a pair of shorts out of a tshirt! It looks super easy to do and I have everything I need to make it... just a tshirt! Though I will have to find a good tshirt that I wouldn't mind changing. Off to sew!

Update!

Here is the finished product. It came out super cute! But like someone posted on the comments section of the tutorial, there isn't too much room in the butt. But they make cute pajama bottoms nonetheless. I think this will be a good quick and easy gift to give. I will have to find the perfect tshirts for my friends! It took me a total of about an hour to make and that was only because I had to keep reading the tutorial to make sure I was right on track.

I hate doing laundry but at least the laundry room is pretty!

I am *almost* completely done with the makeover. I have painted everything and am missing just a couple of last minute details. I am getting a vinyl phrase "Laundry, loads of fun" to put over the window, and I have curtains to put up over the washing machine (from the ceiling to the shelf). I will start that curtain tomorrow most likely.
Here is a panaramic picture (I didn't know about this feature on my camera, it's so cool!), sorry the lighting is bad.



Here are some other pictures.

My Personal Weightloss Challenge

This week was Week 1 of my own little personal weightloss challenge. I am going to get on track to losing about 10 lbs. (taking baby steps and making small attainable goals). I signed up for Step Aerobics at the Rec Center. Last week was week one and boy was it tough! I am so glad that I did it though... one week down five more to go! The instructor is really nice and always switches things up so it never gets boring. I can't wait until next week!

Yummy Banana Bread!

Yesterday I noticed we had some bananas that were getting old. I then remembered that that is the best time to make banana bread! So I searched for an easy recipe that didn't require nuts, because I don't like them. Well I found this easy recipe online that I had all the ingredients. The bread came out so yummy! The only modification that I made was that I added some cinnamon. It was delicious for my first banana bread!
