It is not Ickea!

These are some of the Ikea Hacks of late.  There have been many, many more before I discovered Ikea Hacker.

This is a "hospital bed" made from a really hard wood shelf from IKea AS IS . I saw the idea in Readymade mag. and just added legs from plumbing pipe screwed to the short plumbing pipe legs with great wheels I already had made.

The metal Ikea loft bed turned up side

 down, fastening the grid for the mattres on the "under side" and the

 Ikea wall lamp mounted vertically on the table of an Ikea shelf. 

 

The curtains were .10 cents each at the AS IS in Ikea, hooked together with the Ikea circle clips.

Cookbook Shelves on the side of the old refridgerator made from scraps of shelves found in Ikea AS IS work by wedging the shelves in between the counter/cabinet and fridge.

Knitting and Deconstructing Jackets

It may be time to go public since I accidentally made this blog known on Ed's blog. I finally told the Doc today that my sister has Ovarian Cancer.  She says only about 1% of women get it-- out of 4 billion!  That it does not share the congenital aspects BC does.  I remind her my first cousin Laura and as it turns out both grandmothers had it and died  within the year in the nineteenhundredforties and fifties. She gave me so many sheets for tests that I am confused and wonder if I really need the breathing test.  Supposedly if you were ever on the Pill that works as a preventitive--I haven't, but I did breast feed three kids for seven years straight--supposed to help against breast cancer. 

I was planning to keep this all about the stuff and I have much more to add.  Trying to add something handmade everyday! 

Green Saladbowl Days

The matching doll and daughter dresses are made from an old skirt sewn to "cuffs" for the dolls and jeans for the girls.

The checkered shirt is  extended wear with a nice long skirt look attatched to outgrown cami pants.

   The refridgerator was so old we decided to color it with permanent markers and even made a callendar on it before Dad decided to "erase" the dates with "goo off" and it really worked well .

This post is all about all the creative endeavors over the last few years.  

Kids Draw the Darnedest Things

This is really about organizing what I have done for the past few years getting ready for a lifestyle business online. These were something I did from C-fer's sketch he made at around five years old.  

We then made a whole outfit from it and it morphed into a pillow.There is so much I can do with this silly blog.  Namely to organize everthing.  Here goes it.
