Denim Pocket Organizers (Trend Alert)



Hi there, lovelies. How are you? Thanks for taking time out of your day to be here. So, have you seen all the denim accessories this spring? I am all about this trend, not only because I love blue (especially shades of indigo), but because jeans are my staple. I'm a jeans and T-shirt girl, for sure. Of course, I had to make something that used denim, but as with most of my projects, I wanted something useful, too. So I came up with the idea to use the pockets on a few old pairs headed to Goodwill as organizers for my office.



Denim Pocket Organizers
Nap Rating = 1 nap (not including dry time for spray paint)

Tools & Materials
  • Embroidery hoops in different sizes
  • Old jeans
  • Sharp scissors
  • Brown spray paint


Guys, this is pretty self-explanatory, so I'm not gonna go crazy with a step-by-step here. Just spray the outer hoops (the ones with screws) brown...or any color you want. I chose brown because it reminded me of a belt. You know...for the jeans. After the outer hoops are dry, place them on your jean pockets to see where to cut them free from the rest of the pants. Just make sure to leave enough excess so they can be stretched tight within the hoops. Place the fabric between the inner and outer hoops and screw the whole thing until everything is nice and tight. Finally, cut away the excess denim.





I'm using these in our home office above a little secretary we have in there. I just love how these turned out. What a cheap and easy way to embrace a trend!

Lazy Susan Coffee Station

Hey, hello, how are ya? I finished up a couple of projects in our never-ending kitchen reno this weekend and boy, does it feel good to check stuff off the list. First off, I finally got around to organizing our coffee supplies in one corner of our counter by upcycling an old lazy susan. I made a coffee station on top of the lazy susan and put it next to our Keurig so everything would be nice and handy. Oh, and I used an old mug tree I bought for a buck at a sidewalk sale, too. All I did to make it look cohesive is spray paint both the lazy susan and the mug tree with white spray paint, then I decoupaged a piece of decorative paper the same color as our turquoise coffee mugs to the top of the lazy susan using Mod Podge. I added my cow creamer and a sugar packet holder for tea bags and voila! I love that I can spin the lazy susan to access mugs hanging on the back of the mug tree.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Did you know Halloween is the third most popular holiday in America, topped only by Thanksgiving and Christmas? If you have kids, this probably comes as no surprise. Children anticipate Halloween almost as wildly as Christmas morning, mostly because of the candy, but also because of the fun class parties and costume parades that happen each year at school. I often volunteer for our kids' class parties because it's so fun to see all of the cuties in their costumes. Here's a Halloween class treat idea for you: Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups Steps Tear the foil lids off of the pudding cups and line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet or tray to make them easier to carry. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use finely-crushed Oreos if you can't find the boxed kind) on top of the pudding. Put four waffle-style pretzels around the perimeter of each pudding cup to look like a fence. Put a candy-corn pumpkin in the center of each "pumpkin patch." Remember to brin...
