Catching up

Well, I've been reading blogs and doing crafts for several months, so I am going to post some pictures of things I've made.

First off, I was tired of an old combination dry erase/cork board that had seen much better days, so I decided to make my own *prettier* versions! I got 2 cheap 10x13 frames from Walmart and I went to town. I had some fabric that I fell in love with and decided to add it to my computer/play room. I just used the fabric pulled tightly over a piece of cardboard (from SpecialK cereal) and hotglued, then I put it behind the glass- ready to go as a dry erase board! Then I used the old cork and cut it to fit in the frame to get my *new* corkboard!

See here:




Here is a picture of the curtain I made to match (not exactly thrilled with it, since I didn't have enough fabric to have it slightly gathered like I wanted, but hey- I'm on a budget!)



I also got super carried away and modpodged my mouse pad! I hadn't quite mastered the art of modpodge yet, though, so it ended up a little warped! EEK! Still better than it was!



I guess that's all I'll post for now. I am in the process of making a super cute gift for a little girl in my son's preschool class, so I'll have that up soon!
