I have begun to make this room into a craft/sewing room.
The beginning of remodeling my sewing room. (It's the room downstairs where the furnace is.) I painted the peg board, and Herm hung it (with my help - it's HEAVY). You can see the turquoise colored clock, and that's two shelves (from Ikea) underneath the clock that still have to be put up on that wall.
I made this coat hanger for kids to use in our house. It's right by our front door. The sign was half price after Christmas. I turned it over since it says "Noel", spray painted it brown, glued on the three wooden shapes (3/$1) and put misc. drawer pulls on it. Sorry about the quality of the picture - the dog does have eyes.
This will probably be my preschool kids project for their moms for Mother's Day. I punched the daisy shape out of colored wrapping paper and mod podged it on the glass votives.I got a Cricut Expression with some gift money, so I've been having lots of fun with it. The remaining pics show some projects I've done with the Cricut.
These plastic pots were from Dollar Tree (10 for $1). I glued them to the board, then I cut out the words with my Cricut. I used the paper that was left after cutting the letters and mod podged that to the pots (so that's the brown color of the pots showing through). I'm going to use these in my preschool classroom to store the extra crayons that I always have available. So when I hear someone saying they don't have a red crayon, for instance, rather than going through every single color, I can find one so much more easily.
This sign was also a discounted Christmas sign that said "Noel". I sanded off the word, painted the flat part with off-white paint and then antiqued it with a walnut stain. I painted the edges a dark brown, cut out the lettering with my Cricut which I then mod podged to the sign. I am working on three signs to hang under this sign, and when I get that part done, I'll post it.

This sign was one I got at Dollar Tree for 50 cents (half price after Christmas). Since it said Noel on it, I covered it with scrapbook paper. Then I used one of the letter cartridges to do the words plus a diffferent cartridge to do the designs on the sides. I glued small clothespins at the bottom of the sign to hold my socks til I find their mate.
