The DIY project that almost happened

So the above was going to be the lastest DIY project that I was going to tackle. As with many things I reserve the right to change my mind a million times. Now we are back to upholstered headboards combined with a possible bunkbed. Trying to work my boys room has been a tad tricky as I try to fit 3 beds into a very small room and still make it look good.

Anyway I thought I would share a peek into one of the latest projects that almost happened but didn't. Would somebody else pls. give the above project a try? The Ikea bed frame can be found for only $79.99.

A quicky project.

I've always loved the lines on the above pillows & window coverings so when I found white magnetic boards @ IKEA on sale for $6.99 I bought three.  At first I thought I would spray paint them with black chalkboard paint and hang them in my laundry room but then the above images came to mind and I this is what I came up with.

I took glue, scissors and some ribbon and did a quick project during the kids nap. I just have to say that I love the above glue because it is strong but without the harsh odor some of the glues out there have (like E-6000 or whatever it's called). Also, I have been wanting to learn to sew because my crafting is so limited to glue. I have friends & a Mom that know the ways of the sewing machine. Someday....someday but for now I sit back and admire their skills. Which leads me to say that I have a friend who has graciously donated some fine items to give away here on this very blog. It will be stuff that is all hand crafted & sewn by one talented girl....so stay tuned because it will be fun.
