Project House

I had a visitor over the other day and she commented on some slabs of wood that were leaning against my living room wall.  Slightly embarrassed, I explained that they were pieces to my son's crib, which my husband and I have yet to finish building {our son's 14 months! but the pack-in-play has been a perfect bed for him}.  She looked at me quite seriously and said, "Alisyn, I think it's amazing that you always have a project to work on.  This is a project house and there's no need to be ashamed of that!"

And you know what?  I completely agree with her.  I love that my house is a "Project House," and that my husband and I always have some crazy-brained scheme leaning against our living room wall or taking up the dining room space or strewn across our kitchen island.  We're both "do-ers," so it's nice that we always have something "to do."  :)

Here are some recent projects from The Project House:

POINT & SHOOT

Happy Weekend {and Father's Day}!

DAD'S DAY!!!

We keep things pretty simple around here when it comes to "family celebration holidays" such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, & Father's Day...and by simple I mean we usually make gifts rather than buy them.  And since my son is too little to create much, I decided the gifts needed to "include him" as much as possible.

So, here's what the Big Pops will be receiving this year...

A "CAR-MAT T-SHIRT" {original design and pattern found here}

I added a custom logo on the front of the shirt just for fun...

PHOTOS OF OUR LITTLE MAN FOR THE GARAGE {I glued magnets to the back of some old metric nuts}

& A DESPICABLE ME MINION T-SHIRT...because I'm just that cool.  :)

Of course I couldn't resist getting one for the little man so that he could match his dad!!!  {I found this shirt at Walmart.}
