well hidden storage

i started a few sewing projects/crafts and needed somewhere to store fabric, thread, scissors, ribbon etc. having little floor space, i needed to make storage that would work on the wall. 

one of my best friends, katelyn, turned me on to pegboard. she uses it in her sewing room and laundry room for tool storage. pegboard is very versatile and can be put anywhere. i needed mine to be covered because it would be hanging in my living room.

supplies:

2'x4' piece of pegboard

1.5 yd fabric

wood to build frame

batting between frame and fabric

pegs to hold items in storage

staple gun

my father-in-law built the frame for me, but it is very simple to do yourself.

kayleigh's blanket

i've just finished a blanket for my newest niece, kayleigh. it's fairly simple and very adorable. 

here is what I started with:

1 yd white flannel

3/8 yd fabric of your choice (for binding)

white cotton thread

the blanket is from a book i bought called
