FOCUS on DIY...

Just a few projects I've been working on. Although I've posted them on Facebook, I thought I'd share them here also, just in case some people aren't connected on Facebook.

Before and After of my kitchen chairs:

Chair Before:

Chair After: 

Wreath for front door for Valentine's Day:

Scarf:

The fabric for the chairs was 60% off and I originally bought the entire set for 75% off because the store was going out of business. I bought the set in 1999 and it is still going strong, and looks completely new because of the fabric change. 

The wreath pieces were bought at the dollar store for $6 and about 15 minutes after I was home, the wreath was hanging on my front door.

The scarf is one skein of yarn, specifically for the ruffle pattern and I made it while watching the Super Bowl because all I wanted to see were the commercials. 

I have also completed an afghan for my aunt and am now working on another one, because I loved the design so much--in different colors, for us. 

I've been keeping myself busy until my defense.
