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 :)

subway art....... PILLOW

after a long debate with myself........i decided on a pillow.  A-dorable if i do say so myself.

(added another pic)

 I added a stripe of ribbon down the side.  i had originally transferred the image onto a piece of linen.  so i just cut that down and sewed it onto the canvas.  i left a little edge so it will fray. 

speaking of canvas........

have you all heard of using DROP CLOTH CANVAS as fabric for pillows? well ive been surfing a lot of home decorating blogs and this stuff is all over the place. people have even recovered old chairs with it.

well, i bought one yesterday for this pillow. after washing and drying its SUPER SOFT!

the cost for a piece that is 4ft x 5ft.......$5 at lowes.  i figure maybe about 3 pillows worth???

OH .....and check this out! PRE-SEWN SEAMS for the flaps on the back.    HIGH FIVE!

now its onto the garage for my next project thats already in the works. 

more to come on that later.  hope you are all craftin' this weekend.

subway art--pillow or print?

I'm a little behind on the times.....because subway art has been out for awhile.  But I'm now addicted to it. 
will someone please send out the CA bus?  that would be the "crafters anonymous" bus. 

HI, I'm Bobbi and I have addiction issues with crafts. :)

This is what I'm working on.  its either going to be a pillow or in a frame.  Its going in the loft so I'm not extremely picky.

I made it in word program, printed it on transfer paper (mirror image) and ironed it onto linen.  Now I'm stuck.  I truthfully am not sure how I want to showcase it.  I wasn't very happy with how it turned out, the transfer paper wasn't very friendly and didn't peal nicely, but now it looks like it has some wear and tear so I like it again. 

jeez.....how much coffee have i had today?  did that above thought even make sense?  my brain is going at like 200mph!

anyhoo....what do you all think?   PILLOW or FRAME ??
