I Did It

I like working with my hands to make what I see in my mind a reality.  So here are some pictures of the various projects I've taken on.


This is the first product of the sewing machine I bought several months ago.  It's a little purse and not at all straight or perfect.  But I made it and I LOVE it!  Can't wait until I get better and just start hammering handmade things out!

This ugly thing was hanging in Billy's formal dining room area.  There were so many ugly things, but this one became my project.

Thank you, Pinterest, for telling me about Rust-oleum Spray Paint

Just had to get a pick of my work buddy ;-)


Drying in the yard.


Although it's currently hanging in the garage, boo, I'll have to get a picture of how nice it is now that it's not gold.


This is a styrofoam wreath, tan coffee filters, and safety pins.  I can't remember when I first saw this.

Here's the finished product in my living room with the $12 mirror from the thrift store.

This is an old dresser I got from my parents.  The dust will testify to it and it's mate having been in storage.

I painted them both white.  I have a large wall in the new place in which they will be on either side of my bed.

I bought 2 placemats from Target and attached them to the top. The colors go with my bedspread.

Finished project!

I forgot to take pictures throughout the process of making this and it's the first one I've done so there are some changes that will need to be paid with future necklaces, but all in all I love it!
It's fun to wear and I love that I made it!  It makes getting compliments about it so much better:)
