Craft Corner

I am quite ashamed to show this first picture, its pretty terrible! I do a lot of crafty things, and it seems they must multiply on their own because there is just so much of it all! It really needed to be purged and tamed, so I went to work! Man, it was a rough couple days, but I'm pretty much done now! Here's how things started out:


This is about half-way through, I had to go through a lot of junk and just get rid of it, why is that so hard to do?!


I used to do a lot of stitchery, plus like I said in the last post I like photography, so I have a TON of frames. So this was my solution, set them on these shelves. ($6.99 at IKEA, gotta love the place!)


I also like to sew and I just use material for random crafts, so I got this--at IKEA also--and put all my fabric in it, cute huh?


I found this little basket that hangs under the shelf and thought that was useful to put my paints in!


Once the little corner is completely done--I'm looking for curtains and pillows, but haven't found any I like, hopefully I won't have to make my own!--I'll post pictures of the finished product!

Pictures

So I like photography and awhile back I framed a collage of my favorites above the entertainment center. After I got done, I decided it needed a little something to finish it up. Here's the before, crooked pictures and all:

So I got some vinyl lettering, if you've never heard of it, google it now, you're totally missing out! There are thousands of different fonts, lots of colors and it can say whatever you want or be a shape or a princess or butterfly--whatever! Anyway, so I added the lettering and also a star because I love those too!

So, what do you think? Is it better with the lettering or worse?

Project List

So for my first post, I'm going to make a list of the projects I want to get done in the next few weeks! And in between getting those done I think I'll post some fun idea's I might come across on other sites as well!
Some projects I really want to get done:
*I have a craft section in my bedroom that is a WRECK! I want to organize it and make it cute too, I have a bunch of idea's to make it look great, I'll post as soon as I get it done!
*I have a section of pictures above my entertainment center that I want to add a vinyl sticker above.
*I need to make some bow's and hair clips, I just bought some ribbon and flowers, so I'll get that done too!
*I saw these super cute tutu's I want to try and make, they're adorable and my little girls will want to wear them all day--every day!

Just a few things I want to do, I'll post pictures when I get them done!
