Updated: Jaime's Land of Misfit Projects

Last September I shared with you about my land of misfit projects; projects I may have started or purchased supplies for but not completed. I have happy news to report:

If you were around last November, you saw this chair get a make over!

The chair belongs to my craft table, which I set up shortly after my first post, before I even redid the chair!

I cleaned up the typewriter with WD 40 and a toothbrush. It cleaned up really nicely! I used it as part of the decor in my Valentine's party. I still need to find a home for it at my house, though.

 

The vintage sheet. Sigh. it was so pretty, right? Well I tried to make some PJ pants out of it. And....they were a LITTLE on the tight side. I'm thinking about adding a strip of fabric down the sides to make them work. 

The gray fabric was used in my jewelry organizer, bow brooch and scarves I made for Christmas gifts. I still have a ton left!

I decided to donate the pumpkin. I just hated that stupid line down the center and didn't want to store it anymore.

 

XL orange shirt became this scarf!

Overall, I'm really happy that the population of the last year's Land of Misfit Projects is dwindling! We may have some new residents moving in though...

Jaime's Land of Misfit Projects

I have always been an idea person. I'm great with coming up with ideas. They're not always GOOD ideas, but at least I have one. So here's my problem: I go to the thrift store with an idea (or I get an idea there) and then I purchase an item to alter. And then I don't. I lose the excitement of the idea and I move on to something else. So now, I give you, Jaime's Land of Misfit Projects:

One of the first items I bought to redo, this chair. It was $6.99 from Goodwill. I'm still looking for the perfect fabric to cover the cushion with. Will I ever find it?

I didn't get this from a thrift store, I got this free from work. We just got all new furniture in our offices and they were getting rid of our old stuff. I love that this table is a folding table and it fits in my car. I want to set it up for crafting, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Lazy, or what?

This beauty I won at a thrift store silent auction. I need to clean it up and find a place to display it. Yep, still hunting for the perfect table for it. I only have my attempts at "artsy" pictures of it on my computer and I'm not getting it out of storage right now. Did I mention I have no idea how to clean it?

On the right we have a vintage sheet I got at the thrift store. On the left, a big roll of fabric I got at Wal Mart for $3. Haven't made a thing with either one.

A pumpkin from a trip to Dollar Tree. No plans for it as I really hate the line across it. 

Finally a size XL stretchy t shirt from the thrift store. I thought about making it into a bag, a skirt and a bunch of other things, but nothing has come to fruition. Any ideas?

This is just a sample, by the way. I have more. This coming from the girl who told you to free yourself from your crafting stash!

Any ideas for my misfit projects?
