New Family Art wall

Here's a quick project that recently was completed (yeah!). 

I've been wanting to add a place in the family room to showcase my kids artwork that would still look nice when there was not any artwork to be displayed. 

This was my solution. 

I took 4 metal Wizard of OZ signs I had picked up on clearance for under $1.00 (had this project in mind. It just took me about 9 months to actually get around to doing it! ha!) and a metal board I thrifted for $4.00. And yes I bought the metal board just as you see it. Painters tape and all!

A little fabric and some Mod Podge to cover the Wizard of OZ design and make it match my family room.....

Then I painted the frame of the metal board and hung it all together! 

It's a colorful display even without any artwork! Now I get to create some more magnets so we can hang up some family works of ART! :)

Are you going to be crafting up anything this weekend?

Finishing up.....

Has it really been that long since I have posted on my blog???? wow! Time really does fly eh?

I've been busy "finishing up" summer I guess you could say. We only have a few short weeks left before school starts back up and there still is plenty of fun left to be had and done! Of course it hasn't been all fun and games around here. My sewing machine and scissors have been busy as well. Take a peek at my new love affair.


It's Garden Party fabric by Anna Maria Horner and honestly I couldn't pick a favorite! Everytime I *think* I have, I find another print or colorway that steals my heart away again! tee hee he. I thinks it's the boldness of the design and colors that is so perfect for the end of the summer and beginning of fall that has me all entranced in it's beauty. *sigh*............................... Can you tell I am just in love with it? I've been sewing it up all weekend into Skinny Scarves for my website but it's going to be very hard to part with. There are sooooo many different fabrics in each new scarf! Hopefully you will love it as much as I do! Thanks Anna for another GREAT fabric line!

I also have another tutorial in the works! I just need to get the photos edited first. But my daughter and I have been crafting up some fun on the side as well! Getting her room re-organized after summer and ready for back to school. You've seen her new bulletin board, well we made a magnet board too. And what's a magnet board without some custom made bubble magnets right? LOL...........Aren't these fabulous!? We used the Lotus paper pack from Amy Butler! Gorgeous! One of the fun parts was hearing my daughter say, "Mom. You have this fabric, and this one, and this one........ well you get the picture. ;) I linked my tutorial on how to make bubble fridge magnets of your own. Have a great day!
