Next project in process....

A friend gave me this frame that is just brown plastic, so I thought I'd paint it to match my room and bathroom.

Here it is before ( with a picture of Doug, Skeeter and PorkChop, part of an inside joke at work)

I taped up 2 of the windows and the glass on the other 2

I painted the 2 non-taped windows the tan of my bedroom walls

After that dries and gets another coat, I'm going to do the other 2 windows the blue color of  my bathroom. Now I just have to decide what 4 pictures I want to put in it :)

About time....

between weather and traveling, I haven't made much progress lately, but today it was finally warm and sunny enough to finish painting the bed. It's still drying, so no pictures of it put together and in the bedroom yet, but here it is sitting outside drying.

I can't wait to get it in the guestroom and all set up :) I'll post more pictures then

Two-tone vase and coaster

I saw a purple and white wrapped vase at Someday Crafts and I just had to make one. I made it in blue and tan, and used a square vase to make it a little more unique. I looked for some branches to put in it, but they were so expensive, so I'm going to try to make something myself sometime.

Here is my vase:

I have a lot of yarn left over, so I decided to make over some Christmas coasters. I don't really have a use for ones with a Christmas design, so I wanted to make something I could use year round.

Here is one before:

I used hot glue on the corners to wrap the yarn and create this:

I'm not 100% happy with using hot glue, there has to be a better way. I still have one left to do, so I'm open to suggestions!
