~Wirte an advertising jingle for something in nature.

I chose not to, BUT I finished TWO bags tonight and started a third. Here's my project for today!!






Both bags are fully lines and have multiple pockets. The circle bag has an adjustable strap.

Since I've been sewing a lot... a sachet!

~Work upside down.



I drew this cat upside down. Then I flipped the picture so that you don't have to try to turn your screen upside down!

~Make something look cute and cuddly that normally isn't.


FACT: Everything is more cute wearing a scarf and mittens.

~Work with a lot of something.



Alright, so I might have fudged the rule a little bit. I used a LOT of time and of course fabric and thread.

~Make something as tall as you can.

I totally sucked at this. I tried to use cards and I couldn't figure out how to make it more than one level.



But neither could my hubby! hehehe

~Learn something new.

I attempted plastic bag fusing. It turned out pretty good...


except these holes right here from holding the iron in one place too long :'(


You can make things out of this stuff. Like reusable bags, water proof bags (if you don't make any holes), and liners for bags. I'm sure there's more too.

~Use your junk mail.

I decided to create another rule for myself with my junk mail: Always using the largest square possible, make as many paper cranes as you can.


12. Sadly (or gladly, since it took less time that way) I didn't get much junk mail. Especially after my hubby said I shouldn't the pieces that were addressed to him!

Flash back from the past: one of three 2009 final projects.


Giant dandelion fuzz: one of the  most fun things I made in school.

~What can you do with yarn?

The book says you don't have to knit or crochet, but since I know how I decided to knit something I've been wanting to try to make.


Here's my cowl scarf!

~Make something underwater.

I decided to use pepper corns. I thought they would sink... Some sank and some floated, which made for a pretty difficult project.


And so, the boring star under the water. (See the floaty ones?!)

~Use staples.


Another chicadee-dee-dee!

~Makes something old look new.

I really did mean to do this yesterday, but I couldn't think of anything old that I had at home. I had to wait for my mom to give me some things to choose from today.

Here's my something old. A pin.

Here's the necklace I made from it.


I really should have looked ahead to project 37... need staples...

~Give directions to someone else.

My hubby said this had to be fairly easy and not time consuming for him to do it. So, all I told him was that he had to use toothpicks.

Here is his first project...


Then he got his creative juices going and made this... 

It reminds me of a pig. It hasto be a flying pig since the ones on the sides are wings.

~Use wire.


Viking knit bracelet!

Dish soap lizard in the bottom of the shower. (Boy, will my hubby be surprised if he finds this!)

~Make a path for people to follow.


As this was the only thing I could think of, here's the bike bath on the side of our house. Andy and I carved this out of the blizzard on Wednesday!

What a good excuse to put together my lego set from Christmas! It took me all night, but totally worth it!

~Make a disguise. Can you fool anyone?


This is Chloe's version of today's project. She thinks she's hiding. I'm not sure she's fooling anyone!!

~Use standard school supplies



I wish I had known how to do this when I was in school!
