"I'm bringin' crafty baaack" (sung to tune of J.T's "Sexy Back")
I have been putting all my energy into remodelling the house and doing upholstery projects and my crafting has really taken a back seat. I really get a buzz when I do a craft project that I love so decided it was time to get back into it.
This grotty old pinboard has survived 3 garage sales and still remains with us so it was time for a makeover.
Next some new fabric. I had this lovely black fabric on hand and upon reversing it found.......

oops, photos a bit out of order. I dry brushed on some white paint for a washed look.
Next, braid to tidy the edges of the fabric (double sided tape again). Love all the texture.
I added this "Things to do" blackboard which had peel and stick backing, a couple of hooks for keys, 2 clothes pegs for "bills" and "notes" and over to the lower right is the chalk holder... a clear lipstick lid :o)

I plan to attach a couple of hoop rings to the top at either end and hang it from 2 brackets but for now it has found a resting place on the desk.

That is a keeper now Ange, looks great, well done.
Looks great Ange - see you have come back all ready to do projects too! Mel xxx
That is magnificent! I wish I had even half a craft gene! Just lovely. A-M xx
Goodness - think of how much you could sell it for now in your garage sale. I reckon you should hit your local home decoration store and offer to do a couple of unique pieces. My eyes must be going - what did I miss about the lipsticks Ange?
got it! I had missed that a couple of times. Must read too fast and get over excited about the idea of double sided tape! ;-)
Hi Ange, still cannot leave comments on my home computer so don't think I am ignoring you.
Your creative juices are flowing - love that weekly planner. Sandy x
Great pinboard Ange! I think you could market that one very easily.
Custom made orders offered at the local market? I think you are on to something there.... Thx for your comment on my post. Am missing NZ...good to go thru all the pics!
