Stuff.

I am happy to report that I am spending more time creating than I have in years.
It's THE best medicine for whatever ails me.  I feel like a bona fide creative person again.
  
I am sorry to report that I still have nothing to show you from my class yet. I'm working on the first project--vintage journals.  Of course, I can't just make just ONE and move on to the next project.  No, I have to start half a dozen vintage journals while I wait for the required tool to arrive in the mail! Oh brother. I can't help myself.  Soon I'll put them all together and show ya!

For now, I thought I would show you some of the other "stuff" I've been making.

How about this basket full of sunshine?


This clothes pin idea is easier than easy.  You can make these.  I know you can.
And there's a bonus--they'll make you smile!  
They look super cute paired with the next project.




Old frame + chicken wire + staple gun= scratched up arms and a really fun memory board.
 Again, not hard to make.  True, chicken wire is not so fun to work with.  But it sure is cute!  
You can also use smaller wire to make a jewelry holder like this one in Hanna's room.  Love it!


OR how about a board for recipes in the kitchen? 


Chalkboards are fun too.  Big ones. Little ones.
 I have a few too many around the house now. 
 It seems I have a problem of over doing it.  
It seems I have a fondness for red and turquoise.








You should really make one of these chalkboards for yourself. It's not hard at all.  There are tutorials all over the web for you.  Or I suppose you could buy one of mine.  But that's a whole 'nother idea spelled e-t-s-y.

Oh yeah, baby.


As soon as I figure out what in the world I'm doing you just might find me at...



Etsy shop coming soon???


Maybe.  I don't know yet.


Do I dare?
