Good Monday morning to ya!

Pin It Now!
Good Morning! I have something to share.... I am re-doing my daughter's room and have been working on creating a wall gallery above her desk. I have purchased about 90% of the items that I am using from various thrift stores around town and have been busy at work refurbishing and distressing everything. I don't know who is having more fun. My daughter for getting a new room, or me because I get to shop at my favorite places and craft until my eyes bleed and my fingers hurt. (Come on....everyone knows a Mom's best time to think straight uninterrupted is at night when everyone is fast asleep) But sometimes I get carried away and have to finish just one more thing, then one thing leads to another and BAM....it's 1:45 in the morning. I should get to bed is what I am thinking to myself. But then I fight back and tell myself that I am having too much fun and reason with myself about what I am going to accomplish. After all, I'll set the coffee timer on my way to bed. :) Take a look and let me know what you think. I have actually filled 2 of the frames. One is a hand embroidered bird in a cage that I slapped together in a hurry on one of the fabric swatches from the quilt I am going to make. I'm not really impressed with it, but my daughter loves it so it's a keeper. The other is a silhouette I made of my girl with a cute pinwheel bow. Not sure what I will put into the other frames just yet. We shall see what I dream up next. Have a great week everyone!




I originally bought this old picture for the frame, but the picture is growing on me and I really love it. Wierd? I don't really know where to hang it. It doesn't necessarily fit the "theme". Thoughts??
