Misc crafts

Here are a few of the fun things I worked on this week:

I made this super cute set of blessings blocks. My mom found this on a blog and had a party with her girlfriends where they all made a set, and I had to make one myself. And by myself I mean my dad cut the blocks, and printed the pictures, my mom and a friend cut the vinyl, and I put it together. I am exhausted :) Thanks everyone!!

I also made this cute moss initial that I've seen all over on blogs. Super easy and super cheap! It cost about $3.00 I think and was made in under 5 minutes. I got the moss at all a dollar- and this is the real stuff! My whole craft room now smells like dirt!! I ended up using only about half of the bag. I got the letter at hobby lobby (with a coupon of course) and the ribbon at Michael's (also with a coupon). Not too shabby. Just broke out the glue gun and started "smooshing" the moss onto the letter. Fun!

(Please ignore the junk just thrown on the shelf and bare cabinet for now! It will look better soon, I promise!)

I also did these cute magazine holders. I found just plain white cardboard magazine holders at ikea, a set of 5 for $1.99. Then I used a set of scrapbook paper as a stencil. I found the paper at tjmaxx of all places, and used a black sharpie to stencil on the design. For the labels I used small gift cards I found in the dollar bin at Roberts that had a window on them which I printed out the names of the magazines to fit the window and then just framed the whole thing in a bright green card stock. Super cheap, super easy, and much better looking then just plain white.

And the chore I have been dreading and I don't know why, is to finish this table I got last year at a garage sale (which my sweet husband talked the seller down from $45 to $20- score!). I am going to use it as my craft/sewing table and have put it off more times then I can count. But, I got my behind out there today and got a few coats of white paint on, hopefully I'll get it finished up this weekend. So excited to get it in the room and actually have a work space in my craft room!! Doesn't she have sexy legs?? And lastly, I got these painted and hung thanks to the help of my hubby! There is a story on these so I'll post that separate. But, they are hung and look perfect and I am so excited my craft room is coming together!! My table will go right next to these once it's painted. So fun! It's coming together!!

Oh, I got some fun new knobs at hobby lobby for the cupboard in my craft room. They were 50% off at hobby lobby, love that!!
