Monday Made It

Happy Monday y'all! Last week was a rough one for me & my Monday started out with excellent news with the announcement that I WON the 3-5 Bundle of Sunshine from the FL Teacher Blog Hop! I'm not sure if I was the only one to win it, but if I was, I was 1 out of almost 1,200 entries! 

I was so excited & I cannot wait to go through it all & see the what wonderful things I can share with my 4th graders.

First things first, Linking Up with First with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It 

 While I did make most of what you see in the photo, my focus for the week is the spotted curtain. At the end of our kitchen counter there is a built in "desk" of sorts. It's much too tall & really not functional for us as a work space. What we always need more of is storage options, so behind that curtain is a plastic drawer storage unit full of randoms, my Wok, & a 3 gallon drink canister. 

I purchased the fabric from Jo Ann's & it was an easy sewing project. Unfortunately, I fell in love with the fabric (it was freakin' $20 a yard) but at 50% & I only purchased 3/4 of a yard with some extra, I scarified the $8. 

I also apologized for the low quality photos, I had to downgrade back to an iPhone 4 because my iPhone 5 is a piece of you know what & will be slumming it for a few months. Personally, I wish I could rock one of these sweet things again; I would do it in a heartbeat.

The second is a Made It for myself & sort of for someone else. I am making a good friend her wedding garter & I wanted to experiment & practice with one, so I made myself a headband!

I found the patterned fabric chiffon at Jo Ann's on sale & just loved it! The best thing about that flower is that it really is upside down. I was experimenting with a tutorial, but as I was making it I realized it looked better upside down, so I added the pearls to the center & think it looks great! Can't wait to finish the garter!

Cheers to a new week! 

It's my last week working at the Child Development Center & I'm ready to get fully into teacher mode very soon!

PS Does ANYONE out there know how to get rid of those little "pin it" buttons that show up on the right of my pictures? I seriously have tried everything I know to get rid of them & they are still around. I hate how they clutter & off set my screen. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE someone help a sister out!
