Super Saturday - 5/8/10

Before Monday rolls around,
I thought I would post some of my recent project list/craft completions.

I finished my baby girl's first ever dress made by me,
a One Hour Sundress - Tutorial @ From an IglooFor my son's 4th birthday I made Spiderman sugar cookies
inspired by Bridget at Bake at 350.
My favorite part was flooding the cookies!
Next time I will probably do the black first, then flood the cookies with red.
I still loved how they turned out!
It was good practice, and TONS of fun!
These cookies ended up as the "thank yous" in the goody bags.
One other craft that I loved and used for my son's birthday,
were red pom poms inspired by Jill at Homemade by Jill.
She used the Martha Stewart tutorial.
They turned out great.
I originally had some already made by a friend,
and I made one more for practice and fun!
The added a little somethin' to the party!
I have many more projects up my sleeve!
Check back next Sat. for more updates.

The main project around our house lately
is our new entertainment center.
We have progress ALOT since my last post about it.
Here was where I left you last,Here is the piece we finished today,
it will house the sound system reciever
DVD player, as well as hold our new 50" TV on it.

Here is a completed side.
We need to finish the doors for the middle piece
and the drawers for the base piece.
(Don't mind the strange ghostly elements in the photo,
our camera picks up the tiniest flecks of dust...)

And here is the whole thing so far,
as you can see with doodles,
we still need to add the top shelf.After we finish that we will be sanding,
adding edge banding,
and staining it!

For us the cost is out weighing the price of buying one from a store.
It is exciting to see the fruits of our labors too.
We did choose to use a nicer wood so it would last longer,
but we are still under $400.
It is going to be beautiful!
We are SO excited to get it done,
and equally excited to get a new TV!!
More pictures to come soon!
