It\u2019s not that I haven\u2019t been thinking of you or that I\u2019ve stopped sewing, but simply because I feel like it\u2019s time for things to change with this blog. To be completely transparent with you, I\u2019m feeling a sense of monotony (especially for you) in the routine of sewing a garment &#8211;&gt; striking a pose &#8211;&gt; then CLICK-Photo &#8211;&gt; and WordPress: Uploading the post. And then doing it all over again the following week. &#8220;How long is this going to go on for?&#8221; I asked myself a few months ago. For those of you who know me well or follow me on Instagram, you probably know that I do a lot of little projects ranging from interior decor, painting and wall embellishment, furniture restoration or upcycling, a bit of men&#8217;s styling, and of course sewing and world cuisine. I can hear you saying, &#8220;Whoa&#8230; things are going to be all over the place!&#8221; Not really. The thing is, I feel there are other things I need to take the time to share with you through this platform, because I feel like I&#8217;m not letting you fully benefit from the entirety of my creative life. As you\u2019ve gathered, I want to share projects that give you ideas, inspire you, and above all, are achievable and practical for most of you.         <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why today, my creative madness and I are TOTALLY back, with a project that will make you see your children&#8217;s toys in a whole new light; and if like me you don&#8217;t have children yet, here is a great reason to start hanging out in the toy aisles of our supermarkets again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree that when bedtime comes, it&#8217;s often a struggle to find the end of the charger to plug in your phone for the night. At my place, the foot of the bed is often a total mess, so I&#8217;m sharing my solution with you in the form of a quick, fun, and charming little creative project. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2196\" src=\"https:\/\/lapetitemaisoncouture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/image3.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"490\" height=\"327\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time: 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Cost: 8 euros<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2180\" src=\"https:\/\/lapetitemaisoncouture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/img_7508.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7508\" width=\"490\" height=\"327\"><\/p>\n<p>To start, prepare the piece of furniture where you usually charge your phone\/tablet by dusting and wiping it down.
