Mirrors

I had these for extra mirrors and I have had them above our headboard for a long time... but I wanted something with a little more style. So I had my sister help me cut out some vinyl on her cricut with a catridge I had bought. (Mine wouldn't cut the vinyl big enough) The turned out REALLY cute and I am way excited about them.
Now to just finish unpacking and organizing.....

Old Yucky stroller

I bought an umbrella stroller when my first boy was about 1. We were on vacation and didn't want to bring our huge stroller so I just bought when while I was there. I have ALWAYS hated it. I didn't like the color and the canopy was useless... it never blocked the sun. Honestly, I don't know why I ever bought it. I forgot to take a picture of it before but here is the fabric:
I don't know about any of you.... but I really don't like winnie the pooh for my boys for some reason. I love watching winnie the pooh... but I am not a huge fan of Mr. Pooh's paraphernalia. So first I dismantled the stroller. Then I picked all the stitching out so I could trace the ugly fabric.
The whole project turned out to be much easier than I thought it would be. The new fabric is WAY cuter and MUCH sturdier. I am very happy with my new stroller. :) (Minus the useless canopy).
I even picked the straps off the old seat and sewed them on to mine. It still even has the warning label.
I might still make a little bag or something to go on the back..... maybe brown? We'll see. For just the cost of my clearance outdoor canvas fabric, I know have a very stylish stroller that doesn't make me mad every time I look at it.
