the skirt(s)

I loved this skirt when I saw it. And when I saw her tutorial and the sale section at Joann's, I bought some knit fabric.



The knit was on sale for $3.99 a yard and I bought brown and purple (told you I was obsessed with that color). I also had a $10 gift card from my Joann credit card points. So I actually got this fabric for free!

Here's the result:



Yep, my toenails are painted green. I didn't really like them at first, but now I'm trying to figure out which color to get next! There's so many more choices when you're not limited to pinks and reds.



So I'm already planning the brown one, but I'm thinking that it should be about knee length. I think I might go back to joann's though and buy some heather gray (it's just screaming my name....get it?:)

Yep, I made this!

This is one of the projects that I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. I am in love with this secretary's desk. I need a little desk of my own to keep all my "girl junk" off of the trucking desk.

I got the plans off of Knock-off Wood. If you haven't checked out this girl's site, you should. You'll be addicted.

It's really nice since I can fold up the door and my mess is hidden inside. I was a little chicken to build the drawers like the plans called for though. (well, actually I was too tired. MDF is heavy!) But I found these awesome file folder boxes at the Container Store. They fit perfectly on the bottom shelf.

I don't know if you can tell it or not in the pic, but i painted it a deep purple. I am in love with that color right now. I found some awesome jewelry at Pier One today in the same color:)

Here's a shot of it open...



There's my favorite coffee mug on the coaster Slone made me for mother's day. My new little sew kit from Border's that I scored for $7! It has like twenty Amy Butler patterns in it plus some fabric! And my ipod and my calendar.

And some of the books that I've been reading.



Matt says that I need to quit building furniture. My house is too small. But I am addicted! I'm trying to figure out what to build next;)
