Craft Attempt Numero Uno...

Lately, I have been having the desire to start being crafty again. As most of you know, I tend to crochet during the winter (I mean, what else am I going to do?) and I have scrapbooked in the past. However, because of the large amount of white wall space we have at our new place, I have recently started wanting to make some artwork for my house.

I'm not sure if I like my first attempt. I found some cheap clearance frames at Hobby Lobby ($1.40 a piece) and bought some white and green paint as well as some ribbon. Then I got out my scrapbooking stuff and made some "artwork" for the frame:

The green/blue theme goes with my bathroom ensemble...still not sure if I really like the outcome, however. Sort of looks too "homemade."
But...I think I'm going to keep going with this "crafty" thing...it's fun, even if it doesn't always turn out the way I want it to!

  1. I think it looks great! Keep at it, I've always thought you had a knack for homemade crafts. Your scrapbooking is fantastic too. Hey, maybe you could post an add on Craigslist and do someone's scrapbooking for them for cash. I did that awhile back, and got a lot of replies.

  3. I love it! Very crafty. I doubt I'd have the time or patience to create something so lovely and this is coming from someone with a trunk full of scrapbooking stuff!
