Hello! Allow me to introduce you to my blog.....

Disclaimer #1 - I have never written a blog before, so forgive me if anything seems confusing
Disclaimer #2 - I am still creating this blog, so don't be surprised if things change all of a sudden
Disclaimer #3 - I am a terrible speller, and although there is a spell check, I may forget to use it!!!

With that said, I decided to start off my first blog with my most recent project: The Guest Bedroom/Craft Room (which I feel is appropriate, since my creations will come from this room). Prior to this room, I was working at our kitchen table and going out to the garage to obtain any item or tool that I needed. Since that can change throughout a project, I made many trips to the garage, as well as continually accumulate a pile by the back door of items that needed to be returned to the garage. Needless to say, I am soooooooo excited for this room.

For The Guests


For Me!!!!

The Shelves I bought from IKEA and the brackets from Lowe's


Kerr (or Ball) Jars Make Great Decorative Holders


The Basket on the Left is From IKEA. The Ones I Like Come in a Set of 4 (3 different sizes). I Use Them to Store A Lot Around The House


I Found This at Ross & Spray Painted it to Match the Other Shelves (which I spray painted too...thanks for your help Madi!)


These Jars Are From IKEA...Perfect For Holding my Buttons

 

Ahhhh, The Cricut Mini! This Was My Mother's Day Gift! It's So Pretty!


Luckily, My Husband Was Willing to Share His Closet Space!


I Found This Frame at The Salvation Army for $2. I Lightly Sanded it, Attached Some Chicken Wire (thank you Ahlberg's) & it Became a Perfect Place to Hang the Baby Headbands I am Making. 


I Have Had This Amroire For Almost 12 Years! We Painted it to Match Our Daughter's Room, but Since Her Room Will be Changing Soon, I Was Able to Use it For Our Computer (which was in our bedroom! So glad to have it out of there!!)


I Found This Idea on This Link Here, Which Gives A Lot of Ideas on What You Can do With Your Ribbon. The Frame Was $1.50 at The Salvation Army, the Ribbon I Had, and the Dowels and Cafe Hooks Are From The Home Depot. So Easy & So Inexpensive! 



 

I Found This Idea Here. I Happen To Have The Curtain Rod & the Clips I Purchased From Anna's Linens. I Had the Matching Box to Throw My Scraps In. 


Finally, I Have to Keep All My Sewing Tools (or Notions for All You Seamstresses) In This Bag. That Way I Know Where All of it Is! My Aunt Jennifer Had Bought This Purse Hook for Me Last Year & It's Perfect For Hanging my Sewing Bag! Thank you Jen Jen!
