Top 10 Projects of 2011

By -
2011 Has been a great year at Superfluous! Moving into a new house always brings plenty of projects to work on... and work on... and... And then there was the invention of Pinterest, where I was and continually am inspired to create. So I wanted to highlight the Top 10 Superfluous Projects of 2011.




While working on E's nursery I took a boring ol' lampshade and made a fabric cover. It was a super easy project and I loved how it turned out! 





I found a really ugly chair at the Goodwill.  I spray painted it white and put a chevron cover on the seat. 
Amazing transformation! 



Canvas, Stencil and Scrapbook paper made a really fun and inspirational word art project.




Thanks to Pinterest, I got the idea to make a Halloween wreath! Spooky! 



I love Anthropologie, but I don't love their prices. I saw a mirror I really liked, but decided to DIY my own. 




Around the house I worked on a few little projects...

Chalkboard makeover and Everett Banner! 

Entryway photo collage and fresh coat of paint.

New Curtains and pictures.


I love collecting glitter houses, but they can be rather spendy. So I decided to make my own! I found the houses at Hobby Lobby and I had fun decorating them! 





This by far was one of my favorite projects I've made this year! Clothespins, scrapbook paper, glitter and decorative washi tape was all I needed to make this awesome project. 





First Christmas at our new house and I had fun decorating and making look festive and fun! 





On May 8, 2011 I gave birth to Everett Timothy! By far my FAVORITE thing I've ever created. (with help from my husband of course!)  Everyday is a delight to stay home with this little guy!! Oh how we love him! 





2011 was a great year for projects! But I have a feeling that 2012 will bring many more DIY projects, home improvements and crafts! (although I can't guarantee there will be another baby. ;)

Happy New Year!

I think I must have missed some of your DIYs, but you've been busy! I love that lampshade. I've always wanted to try my hand at covering my own, but I've been intimidated by it.

Thanks for stopping by my site: www.potholesandpantyhose.com! Let me know how the Jalapeno Pepper Jelly turns out!
I loved your glitter houses-these are some of the cutest that I have ever seen. I think I may need to try these myself. And also, thanks for the post on children's books. There are several that I've never heard of. I better get on the stick!

You had some absolutely FANTASTIC projects last year (whoa, it felt weird to type that! : )).

I especially love the fabric you chose to recover the shade and the clothespin wreath.

OH! And it was fun seeing your new curtains because I bought the same fabric to make curtains for our master bedroom! : )

Thanks SO much for linking up your awesome posts @ Feature Friday Free-for-All!

P.S. I'm your newest follower and would be so honored if you'd follow my blogging journey as well (if you don't already! : )).

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
