For those of you asking for the tree skirt, it is sitting on my sewing machine waiting to be bound!!! I'll post information on it as soon as I'm sure that it "worked" *wink*... (always a bit of an experiment when you are making stuff up).
In the meantime, I thought I'd share with you this little project that I tackled this fall.
I had this shelf leftover from when my twins were babies. Now that all of my kids had outgrown it I didn't know quite what to do with it. I hated to just throw it away (or give it to goodwill).
I needed a shelf for above the toilet in my guest bathroom. My Mom and sister have always covered the backs of bookcases with fabric (great way to jazz up a plain bookcase). So I thought I'd give it a try. Since the shelves in this were not removable, I just cut a piece of cardboard to the size of the openings, then covered them with fabric... Pretty simple!

Very cute! I'll have to remember that trick.
great idea! and the patterns are fabulous!
GREAT idea! Love it!
So sassy....too bad you can't see the moons anymore though. HA!
Love it.
Very cute! What a great idea, I'll have to give it a try.
oh! that is so amazingly beautiful, thanks for the great inspiration!
What a great project...love it!
The shelf looks great, but I was wondering what material is in the wreath above the shelf? I looks great.
I just love the power of fabric!!! It looks Fabulous. And what a great idea to make the shelf work for more than one room!
Awesome idea! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Love it! I've been adding fabric and ribbon to everything lately, but I had not thought to add fabric to shelving. I definitely have a "naked" shelf that needs to be tackled. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I have a shelf I need to do that too and didn't want to modge podge paper or fabric on it....now I know to use cardboard.
That is seriously cute! Don't you feel like life is crazy this time of year? I swear I don't have enough time in the day to get everything done!

that turned out cute! great job!
I am blown away! Seriously-I have the same shelf. Couldn't throw it away and now it sits in a closet! OMG- I am stealing this idea. Thanks!
Ps. we had it because my youngest daughter's room was done in moons & stars about 5 years ago!
That is great! I may do that with some shelves I have...they are bound to the wall, and can't be removed, but it would be a great way to spice it up! And if it's on cardboard, you could change them out for all of your seasons! :) (my shelves are in my dining area)
whoa! it doesn't look at all like the same shelf!
great job. Love the fabric choices.

I have the same shelf sitting in my basement because my daughter outgrew it and I didn't know what to do with it. Now I do! Thanks, such a cute idea.
Looks awesome! I love how you refashioned it into something you can now use. Thanks for sharing!
