tic * tac * toe

I have been crafting it up this holiday season. I got the following idea from a coworker. She made hers out of denim as well. This little gift is going to my 4 year old nephew. I figured it would be a good game for him to learn how to win and lose and also develop different strategies for winning. I love all things educational - thanks to all my teacher friends.

I used 2 pairs of my dad's denim overalls. Cut the legs into 7 inch squares. I even figured out how to thread my new sewing machine. I have not sewn anything for quite some time so this was a big deal. I am very pleased how they turned out. Each bean bag has a X and an O. I ran out of beans so I have 2 left to make.

I am a big fan of Pinterest. I found out about this online pinning tool a while ago from a friend who loves to be crafty. I am always looking for DIY projects, recipes, etc. To find inspiration I just look at pinterest. If you have not checked it out - head over there now!

I found this cute idea to make your own coasters out of tiles from Home Depot. I thought it was the cutest idea and would be a great little hostess or housewarming gift. I made some of them this week to give to a few family members. I think they turned out pretty great. I also think there is some room for improvement - backing of the tile - but overall I am pleased. Here are a few pictures of the completed project.

next up - shelving for the guest bedroom :)
