Our Productive Weekend

This past weekend Kent had to work a lot, but still managed to get a lot done on his car project. He has had a shutter and found out that there was a small scratch in one of the cylinders that was causing a leak. He figured out that at O'Reilly you can rent tools for free, so he rented a honing tool Saturday. He was able to hone out the scratch in about 30 seconds. Hopefully this will fix his problem. Now he is excited about getting back to the hot rod part of his project.

While Kent was busy at work and honing I got a lot of house projects done. I got up early Saturday and went to Wal-Mart and Home Depot. I spent less than $100 and got all the projects below complete. The first project was simply a completion project. Several weeks ago I made some prints for out theater out of felt. I finally got all the prints hung in the theater! I think they look great.
For a while now we have needed cushions on out ottoman and the window seats in the living room. I found some great fabric and Wal-Mart so I made these cushions Saturday. Kent and I had a large foam bed cushion that we were never going to use, and I was able to make all three cushions out it.
The project I am most proud is my vertical baking storage. We had a large empty cabinet above the built in microwave. Now I have a place to keep all of my baking sheets!
My last project was a coffee mug planter for my new flowers!
