old frame magnetic board

yep, im still crafting like a mad woman over here!  most of my ideas lately have come from pinterest.  i cant take credit for them.  but of course it was my hard work that created them.  :)

 

i found this old frame at a garage sale last year. i took out the inner contents and spray painted the frame. i bought some small pieces of sheet metal at Lowe's and cut it down to size. (carefully with gloves!!)

This print was found online for my craft room. a few magnets and a piece of washi tape are holding it in place. 

today im going to make some of my own magnets.  i want everything in my craft room to be homemade......by me :)

Peg Board project---and a craigslist adventure

not sure if you all remember THIS post.  i had found a frame and bought some peg board with a fabulous craft room project in mind.  lets just say ive been chomping at the bit waiting for it to get put together.  but it finally happened!!  YAY  (thanks dad and the hubs)

i didn't paint it yet because i cant decide on a color.  but the ugly gold does grow on you.  LOL

i bought the peg board at Lowe's and an accessory kit for the hooks.  im sure ill change things around on it about a cazillion times.

 im loving the spool/thread holder.  now ill know when im running low on a color.  looks like im a little heavy on white. 

these sweet little buckets were from the dollar isle at Target.  3 for a buck!!  my fav saying these days....JOY....was a another dollar isle purchase at Michael's. 

my very first purchase ever from craigslist.  my armoire :)   yes, my name is bobbi and i hoard fabric.

ahem.....anyway like i said this was my first craigslist experience but not a great one.  i had my eye on another fabulous armoire but the sellers were obviously playing a bidding game or something.  so i found this as my second choice.   funny thing was they emailed me 2 weeks later asking if i was still interested.  UM NOPE.  i found a better looking one that fits my room!!!!  (jerks--grrrr)

its baseball season here in vegas.  so my nights will be filled watching this cutie patootie throw the ball around.  i love spring!

ive had family in town this past week.  let me tell you if you are ever in vegas and can handle some raw humor......CARROT TOP is a MUST see.  the tickets are reasonable and HOLY MOLY this guy is pee your pants FUNNY!

theres just something about that red curly hair.  i think the dude is HOT.  (shrug---just sayin)

Peg board project

looky what im doing this weekend!!

hopefully i can get it all done to show you in a few days.  its a pegboard for my craft room! 

these peg boards are a decent price at lowes and they have kits for the hooks and whatnot's.

i took my dad out garage sailing this morning and found this old frame.  his comment was

"ummm isn't that a little fancy for a peg board?"

LOL

i said "oh dad.....you have SOOO much to learn about refurbishing old goods."

2 words......

SPRAY PAINT !



FNSI results and a goodwill find

hometown....oh how i LOVE this line!  i showed you the other night that i was precutting my squares.  (168 hometown and 300something offwhite)

last night for FNSI i was able to sit down and sew alllll those 2inch white blocks on my 5inch squares. it doesnt sound look like much, but thats a J.O.B. 

im going to make THIS quilt on Moda bakeshop.  Road To Tennessee.  i really really really love this quilt!  I got up this morning and realized i needed (giggle) more fabric for the back and binding.  so off to my LQS i went.  i LOVE my LQS, Quiltique.  After spending millions thousands of dollars there over the past few years, they finally know me by name.  its like walking into the TV show Cheers!  (NORM!!!)

anyhoo....as i was waiting for them to open this am, i decided to hop into goodwill.  usually its a bust for me, but i had a good feeling today.  well looky what i found!  a new/used sewing room chair for me!  its wood with rollers.  i swear ive seen this in the pottery barn magazines.  (thats what im telling my hubby who eye rolled me having another chair in that room!)

check out the price tag.....uh huh....that's right.  $6.99 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

here is my before chair.  one that i recovered a few years back.  no rollers, not a very big seat either.

MUCH MUCH better!  I'm thinking it needs a larger pillow and maybe a cushion for my bum.

lastly.....i bought this at my LQS also.  its a gift card holder.  I'm putting this away for xmas.  ill use it for that stocking stuffer gift of like an itunes card or something.  i just thought it was so fun i had to share.  after xmas it could even be used for a kids ipod.  ?? 

did you all have fun last night and make some cute things??
