DIY

I have always wanted to make things. I used to make my own cards, picture frames, i used to scrap book but I am quickly learning that's not my forte. I have ALWAYS wanted to make things i can physically use. I came across a website called pinterest.com. Most people who are crafty probably know of this website. MILLIONS of ideas, pictures, videos, tutorials etc.
I fell in love with more than enough of the ideas. My bookmarks on my mozilla is full from what I have been saving from the beginning. :) So, i finally decided to buy a sewing machine!!! My mom doesn't sew and never really has, so this is something SUPER new to me. Thank God for her friends who know how to sew (my teachers in this whole new hobby). I haven't made a single thing on the machine as I am still learning and practicing.
But, I am going to explain another new found love of mine - wood working. :) YES! I have an absolutely patient and loving husband to help me with this new love. It's not only cheaper but custom made!
We are outside people, I love to enjoy the cool nights by a firepit. I also enjoy it even more on comfy furniture. So, I have been looking for an outdoor sectional but the prices run soooo high on those. I came across Ana-White.com. She is an amazing woman! Sooooo blessed to have found her website.
We made our own outdoor sectional! The best part about it? - IT TURNED OUT AMAZING. No! More than amazing!!! We saved over 300 dollars on making our own! Total price - $225! We found our own cushions on craigslist for $8 a piece! They are $30 cushions! We then had someone alter the top cushions to fit properly. It took us an entire day to do this project, but it was way worth it. We even enjoyed making it a little, too.

I have brand new (clearance) throw pillows to be able to lay your head down and take a nap. Which I am sooo looking forward to! So, needless to say, if you have enough time and energy, it is cheaper and way worth it! Try it! :)
