Burlap Egg??

Ya, this one did not turn out quite as planned.  It looked pretty cool in my mind when I pictured it.  It is kind of ugly and large and I don’t think it will be on display in my house!

Burlap Curtains

We are in a rental house right now so I soooo don’t want to spend much money on window treatments!  The burlap is $2.99 at Hobby Lobby and I used my 40% off coupon so it was $1.80 per yard.  I splurged and bought 12 yards!  I made curtains for my living room and craft room and still have a lot left over to do more with!!!  I used this tutorial to make them and it really was super easy!  Life to the "T" tutorial

I forgot to take a before pic so I am posting a few random pics!

My son, Nicholas.

Clip Board Fun

I need to add more ribbon to the top but I am liking it so far!  The clip board was $1.99 at Michael’s.

Wooden Blocks

I saw these somewhere in blogland but can’t remember where!  If it was you… I am so sorry for forgetting!  Let me know and I will give you credit!

I HAD to copy them!  Here is my first attempt at it.  I got a little mouse (the name of my little sander) happy!  Next time I won’t sand so much and I will sand BEFORE I layer on the Mod Podge!

Finished Firehouse Pics

Check this out!!!  I am so proud of it!  I photographed the whole alphabet at a local fire station!  Before I was a stay*at*home mom I taught 8th grade Social Studies.  One of my former students is now a firefighter!  That makes me feel old!  His last name is Bull and this will be a gift for him!
