Refashioned Project Results

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

*Don’t forget to enter the Whimsy Couture pattern giveaway announced this morning!*

Hey guys! Where you able to check out the projects linked up to the crafty party last week? I had a hard time deciding which one to feature today, but I finally decided on this awesome Remember Provence Apron by Sew Country Chick. I’m totally digging ticking strips right now, so I think this grain sack inspired fabric treatment is awesome.

And now for the poll results for the Refashioned Challenge…

And here is the crafter/project match up…

#1 – DIY Wooded Mirror - Hannah @ Young & Crafty

#2 – Hobo Bag - Jessica @ The Domestic Fruit Loop

#3 – French Quarter Inspired Entertainment Unit - Lauren @ Lucy Baby Designs

#4 - Boring Menswear to Sophisticated Skirt and Top - Autumn @ It’s Always Autumn

#5 – Painted Lattice Tank - Ann Marie @ White House Black Shutters

#6 - Chalkboard & Paint Swatches Wall - Kataryna @ Sew Chibi

#7 – Fit to be Tied Skirt - Jamie @ Three Scoops of Love

And those results give us a first here on SYTYC…two ties!

For first place was Lauren with her French Quarter Inspired Entertainment Center tied with Autumn’s Boring Menswear to Sophisticated Skirt and Top.

Be looking for their tutorials early next week.

And for last place were Hannah with her DIY Wooded Mirror tied with Kat and her Chalkboard & Paint Swatches Wall.

Since I didn’t want to send them both home this week, the crafters and I decided the most fair way to decide who goes and who stays is to add lasts weeks votes to their current votes. Oh my gosh you guys. That still only puts them one vote apart! How crazy is that?

But the crafter that pulled ahead is Hannah @ Young and Crafty. Congrats Hannah!

I’m sad to see Kat go & hope that we’ll see more of her during another season. Her style is so fun and colorful. It just makes me so happy!!

Be sure to check back next week for some pretty fantastic Halloween projects.

And with only 30 votes separating the two of them is was a close race! Wouldn’t her Craftsman Style Mirror look good in almost any home?

She had so many great projects this season, especially this last few weeks. Here are a few:

You can see the rest of her great projects on her bio page.

Congratulations Erin!!

Ombre Winner {and linky highlight}

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

This week’s linky party highlight comes from a SYTYC alum, Taylor @ Taylor Made. She dip dyed this awesome ombre lamp shape.

Isn’t that totally great? I think my favorite part, besides the fantastic ombre effect, it that she painted the base gold. I’m crushing hard on gold home accessories right now.

Many of you over the last few weeks have come to me about problems with the polls. I’ve been using the same widget for almost 2 years and didn’t have any issues with it until just recently. I have let the company know that there is something wrong and I’m hoping that they will be able to fix it. Next week, though, I’ll be trying out another poll service to see how they do. I’m sorry for any problems that it may have caused you guys!

And now the results. It was still a pretty close race, but nothing like the past 2 weeks.

Here is the crafter/project match up:

#1 - Ombre Dyed Silk Cowl - Chrissy @ There are UFO’s under my stairs

#2 – Ombre Sunset - Erin @ Erin’s Creative Energy

#3 - Ombre Ambiance - Alicia @ The Creative Vault

#4 – Ombre Necklace - Allie @ Miss Lovie Creations

#5 – Ombre Rain Gear - Meg @ Mega Crafty

#6 - Pretty in Pink Ruffle Skirt - Megan @ The Crafty Conundrum

#7 - Lucky Stars Ombre Mobile - ChiWei @ One Dog Woof

That makes ChiWei our winner for a third time with her fun Lucky Stars Mobile.

Isn’t it adorable? Congratulations ChiWei! And you all can be watching for a tutorial next week.

But we have to say goodbye to another amazing crafter. This week it’s Alicia @ The Creative Vault.

Someday my husbands work schedule is going to be a little less crazy, our lives will slow down and we’ll have time to have a fun Ombre themed dinner. Just the two of us. But until then I’m going to be keeping up with Erin on her blog. You should join me. She has some really great stuff.

Be sure to check back on Monday for the next challenge – Let’s Hear It For The Boys. And if you want to craft along you can link up to the party next Thursday!

Our Summer Bounty Winner {and linky highlight}

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

Do you guys know how many times a day I think to myself, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” I’m not sure of an exact number, but it’s a ton. I guess that’s a hazard of business I’m in – finding mind blowing talent on a daily basis.

So here’s a project that made me stop and have that thought yesterday from the linky party. Doodle Craft made some cute little Puff Paint bracelets! My daughter would have a blast doing this. It has now officially been added to our to do list.

But now back to the contest. Another tight race for most this week. I think that’s a trend that’s here to stay. This is one of the most evenly matched seasons we’ve had so far. You guys are just too darn talented!

And the crafter/project match up:

#1 – No-Sew Summer Picnic Basket - ChiWei @ One Dog Woof

#2 – Decked Out Pool Towel - Allie @ Miss Lovie Creations

#3 - Neon & Navy Pool Gear - Alicia @ The Creative Vault

#4 - Summer Bounty Picnic Basket - Chrissy @ There are UFO’s under my stairs

#5 – Beach Angels - Erin @ Erin’s Creative Energy

#6 – Photo Flower Pots - Meg @ Mega Crafty

#7 - Tiered Cupcake Stand - Megan @ The Crafty Conundrum

#8 – Seashell Windchime - Nancy @ Nancy’s Couture

ChiWei @ One Dog Woof pulled in her second win this week. Congrats!

Isn’t that basket great? And such dedication! She took time out of her vacation to throw that together. Good job!

But, after all was said and done, and the extremely tight race came to a close, we have to say goodbye to Nancy @ Nancy’s Couture.

I love the sound of a wind chime, and now that I leave near the ocean my appeal of seashells has gone way up. Now I have one more thing to put on my someday porch. Don’t miss out on all the great stuff I’m sure Nancy has planned on her blog. So go check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Our Scrappy Winner & a Party Highlight

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

Lets start out with the Linky Party highlight, shall we?

In a family like mine, that has way more nephews than nieces, these little Dinosaur Taggie Toys by Aiming for Swan Like would be a huge hit. And aren’t they just adorable?!

But now onto the results from our first week of season 12!

And here’s the crafter/project match up:

#1 – Switch Flops - Nancy @ Nancy’s Couture
#2 – Metallic Reverse Applique Clutch - Allie @ Miss Lovie Creations

#3 – Wood Scrap Lantern - ChiWei @ One Dog Woof

#4 – Patriotic Pillows - Crystal @ Crystals Craft Spot

#5 – Row Bird Houses - Erin @ Erin’s Creative Energy

#6 – The Map! - Megan @ The Crafty Conundrum

#7 – Scrappy Mural - Jenna @ Silver Lining Crafts

#8 – Pant Hem Zippered Pouch - Meg @ Mega Crafty

#9 – Quilted Stationary - Alicia @ The Creative Vault
#10 – Crazy Quilt Kindle Cover - Chrissy @ There are UFO’s under my stairs

That means the first win of the season goes to ChiWei @ One Dog Woof!

That is a pretty killer little lantern. And I have a ton of those little wood nubbins from other projects I’ve done. Now I’m glad I held on to them

But that means Jenna @ Silver Lining Crafts will be leaving us this week.

She’s the youngest contestant that we’ve ever had on SYTYC. When I was 12 there’s no way I could have kept up a blog while doing all my other stuff. She’s pretty amazing. Thanks for taking some time out to give SYTYC a chance Jenna! And all y’all should go on over and give her some love on her blog.

Stay tuned for (and start crafting along with) our next challenge on Monday – Repurposed crafts!

Our Kids Can Do Winner

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

Do any of you have any big plans for this holiday weekend? Camping? The beach? BBQ? I think we’re going to be doing the tourist thing here in Boston. We’ve lived here about 5 months and barely seen anything, so it’s about time we get on it. But whatever you do, I hope you have a fun, safe time!

So, here are the results from last week:

And the crafter/project match up:

#1 – Betty Matching Blocks – Amanda

#2 – Four-in-One Play Center – Wendy

#3 - Children’s Stationery Kit – Kimberly

#4 – Doorway Puppet Theater – Angela

Amanda pulls in her second win with her Betty Matching Blocks.

I’m such a fan of these. I love wood toys, and Abbi loves matching and dolls so this is a win-win in our house.

But, we have to say goodbye to Kimberly at Bugaboo, Mini, Mr & Me. What a bummer. Her Children’s Stationery Kit is such a great idea and would be perfect for a road trip.

She has been such a favorite this season and will be so missed. Be sure to keep up with her on her blog. She’s always got some great things going on there.

And then there were three; Amanda, Wendy & Angela. That means that all of these three ladies will be going home with a prize from our amazing sponsors. Remember to stop by on Monday to see the great projects they come up with!

The queen of Upcycling (at least this week) is….

Posted under SYTYC
By Missy

Guess what? Tomorrow is Mothers Day (or Mothering Day – depending on your place in life). Are you ready? Don’t forget to call all those moms in your life tomorrow! I’m spending the day with my hubby (it’s our 6th anniversary), Abbi, and my bro & sis-in-law. They’re here visiting – and are the ones that set Brad and I up on our first date – so it’s fitting they’re spending it with us. We think we’ll go spend the day in Cape Cod.

Now on to the stuff you came for – the results of the Upcycle challenge are…

and the crafter-project who’s who…

#1 – Tea Table and Stools - Kim

#2 – iPad Case - Angela

#3 – Skirt to Purse - Brittany

#4 – Patio Umbrella - Wendy

#5 – Fresh New Wallet - Amanda

#6 – Summer Dress - Jama

And Kimberly pulls in another win!

I have one little girl that would love a tea party set up like this. Someday, when we have a yard, I’m thinking we’ll have to make one.

But the goodbye goes to Jama from Cool People Sew.

Now that the weather is getting warmer I’m going to be in the market for lots of flowy fun dresses like these ones. Make sure you keep up with all Jama’s up coming going-ons on her blog.

Next week’s challenge is going to be a nice sunny one so stay tuned

And the Scraps winner is…

How was your week? Do you have any fun plans for this weekend? We’re spending the day today at the New England Aquarium. Abbi loves fish – we went at least once a week to the aquarium at the Mall of America when we lived in Minnesota – so it’s about time we visited this one.

So, here are the results from this weeks Scraps challenge…

and the crafter-project match up looks like this…

#1 – Pacifier Clips – Angela

#2 – Birdie Hand Towel – Jama

#3 – Scrappy Pincushions – Sarah

#4 – Kanzashi Flowers – Brittany

#5 – Bite Size House – Amanda

#6 – The Pocket Peggy House – Kim

#7 – Birthday Board – Wendy

That makes Kim our winner again this week!

Isn’t that the funnest thing? I know of quite a few little ones that would love that. Be watching for the tutorial in the next few days.

But we have to say goodbye to Sarah at Sara vs. Sarah.

Think of the possibilities with these fun Pincushions. You could turn anything into a pincushion with any fabric! We’ll miss Sarah in the contest, but don’t worry, you can stay in touch with her on her blog.

Next week’s challenge is a fan favorite so be sure to watch for it!
