Things I've Pinned and Would Love To Make (but don't have time to do them all)

Oh, how I wish a had a life that would allow me to make stuff all day, with no worries about finances, helping kids with their homework and constantly chipping away at the mountain of dirty laundry that grows overnight.

I know I can make SOME of these, at least. Here's my current wish list:

1. Vintage slip reconstruction. I'm actually in the process of doing this. I have a box of slips, laces and trims and just got my acid dye in the mail. I'm just waiting for my husband to go back to work so that I can make a mess in the kitchen without having to explain myself.


2. Lace-trimmed boxer shorts. Love this idea so much. I think I'll use my leftover acid dye to make some super-saturated lacy shorts for summer.


3. Hat and Coat hanger from an old door, pretty knobs and vintage barn hooks. This one is in process too and might be finished this weekend. Mine will be like this, but it will also have a second row of hooks - hats on top, coats on bottom.


4. I adore the hex nut in this wrap bracelet.


5. I would love to use the rest of my vintage sheets for this laundry bag. Everyone in my family could use one on our long car trips.



6. Sock Monkeys. I made one over the break and it was so cute and fun to make. I promised some for the little-people-in-my-house's birthdays.
