Crochet Baskets

I have loved making these little crocheted baskets for the last few months! I don't even really need them or have any real purpose for them I just think it's theraputic to make them! I can come home from a long day at work and whip out one of these cute little baskets and I just think it's relaxing I guess...or something...and stuff...

You can get the tutorial HERE at the Design Sponge DIY blog.

THIS yarn works great and is super affordable. You can find it at JoAnns, Michaels, Hobby Lobby and probably Wal Mart if yours hasn't taken out the craft section like ours! So disappointing...

Mod Podge Rocks!

I think I have found one of the best blogs ever, especially because the name of it is true...Mod Podge DOES Rock! If you haven't already you need to go HERE!

A while ago there was a post on how to revamp a stool and I loved it so I decided to try it out. The stools at Michael's like the one on THIS post seemed a little unsteady so I went ahead and did mine with one like thisish (only shorter and the legs are more curvy so it really isn't like this one at all...so)...

Here is how it turned out. It was so easy and just adds a little excitement to our downstairs area...I may even go back and get one like the one on that post because I think it so dang cute. There is also a step stool at Ikea that is so dope. If we had an Ikea anywhere in the vicinity I would totally go get it and do THIS to it. Or you could try THIS too, everyone has a step stool like this! Ours is out in the garage though so I doubt Scot would appreciate me girlying it all up. I will have to just go and pick up a new one for me inside. So many options!

Once you've tried Mod Podge you will never want to stop...I guarantee it! (Just like the Men's Warehouse guy says)...
