This weeks projects...

So I decided that I was going to finish at least ONE project this week. I've been buying all kinds of supplies and some projects I've started and still not finished (apron) and some I have had lying around and haven't even taken them out of the bag. I've had both of these for about a month now... So here we go!

I've been waiting to get this artwork done for a while. I wanted something jungle like but not too crazy so I took a little trip to Michaels. I spent $1 per frame ($5), 50 cents per paper ($2.50), and 50 cents per animal and tree ($2.50). So all together this project cost me $10 and took about 30 minutes to work on.








I'm pretty satisfied with the final product. There weren't any hanging brackets on the back so I had to buy some but I haven't put them on yet so they're sitting a little crooked. 

The other project I've started but am still waiting to hang. The drill needs to charge :( I'm not patient enough for this. But, I'll give you the sneak peak and hopefully post the rest this afternoon. 

We don't have much cabinet space in our apartment here so I've been wanting a way to hang my pots and pans to clear out one of my really large drawers. I was browsing through Joann one day and saw this... 


I decided it was perfect for me to hang my pans on... It was $18 but I used my 50% off coupon and got it for $9. YAY!

So... I've painted it and gotten skinny S-like hooks (a total pain to find skinny ones!). I'll be back soon with the final results :)

  1. Marie: We are so very proud that you are trying new things. Your Great grandma would be so excited that her name sake is interested in one of her favorite pastimes. Crafting came as natural as walking for her, but she said it took many years of practice, and alot of mess ups. lol Good luck honey, love, mom
