New Inspired PB Headboard

I've been a busy bee. Work continues to take over my life. So much so, that I've even hired a cleaning lady. She will do the regular dusting, vaccuming, moping and thank God LAUNDRY!!! =D

Anyways; remember my Ikea headboard? It's cute but now I'm bored w/ it. So, I thought I would try this... Reveal coming tomorrow. See how I continue to get inspired by you!



I will get this posted as soon as I have a min. so that you see how beautiful it looks.

Stay tuned!

DIY Chalkboard Clock

I was sitting at home on Saturday night under the air and fan and it was still so unbearably hot and the boys were already sleeping, but I can't ever seem to sit still... I must make something!!

you probably know that PB has had the chalkboard clocks on and off... it inspired me over a yr ago to get splash some paint on this one.


On one of my GW shopping sprees; I found this neat little 10' HobLob lock for under a $1.00. Something was wrong w/ it and it wouldn't run. Well, I got it home; added a new battery, tightened the hands and used it for bit as it is...

then it started begging to be different. I gave in to it

1. I lightly sanded the clock face

2. Painted the hands w/ WHITE spray enamel
3. Painted the clock face w/ chalkboard paint

while it dried, Tequi and I chilled;

I made myself a treat specially since I've been super good about food this week

Tequi just laid as I'm thinking "AGH! get off my couch!"

once dried I "distressed" it

re-attached the hands

and


VOILA!

yes, it really was 2:30 in the A.M. I sometimes suffer of "lack of sleep".

Easy Peasy! What do you think? will you do this?

Paper Bag Basket and my first FAIL

I have all these grocery store paper bags that I've been saving up for a project... Although this is not what I wanted it for, I was some what on a roll tonight and so I wanted to see if I could turn it into a basket.

So, here you have it. I'll make it short.

1. I cut the bottom part of the paper bag, since it fit under the side table perfectly.

2. I measured all 5 sides of the bag.

3. Cut. Sew. Sew. ( I wasn't too concerned w/ sewing straight. See that? =D )

4. All in all this was a failed project. I will play w/ it a bit more and share w/ you all what I came up with.

Let me know what tips or suggestions you might have for me... I love hearing from you!!
