Thursday Night Craft Project

At Easter we each got a super cute box (see above) from the Easter Bunny full of jelly beans, skittles, and chocolate eggs. Well, now that Easter is over, I wanted to get some good use out of this box. I saw THIS project for a remote control holder from Martha Stewart, and decided to give it a go. This will come in handy as I've finally decided to break down...and get cable (that I have to pay for).

I was FORCED to eat all my jelly beans right away so that I could make this box! FORCED I tell you!

I chose this great blue and white floral toile fabric, cut it to the height of the box plus about 1/4" extra on each side.

I then took fabric glue and adhered the fabric to the box! Next, I took this grey grosgrain ribbon from Kate's Paperie and put it on the inside to cover the raw edge of the fabric that I folded over.

Yay! Look how cute it is!

Here are the two remotes that I have. Don't they look comfy spooning in my new pretty box!?

Home in the Country

This weekend I'm travelling home! I love going home for many reasons, the space, the quiet, the time....Most of all though I adore my room at home. When my parents moved 4 years ago I was allowed to pick out a few things as in the theme etc. My theme I suppose is very country and light looking.

I have some BEAUTIFUL water color paintings hung on the walls. My bedspread is the adorable pink toile below and my desk is distressed cream painted from Ballard Designs. http://www.ballarddesigns.com/ I just recently was able to move my dollhouse back in...will be working on that this weekend! I used to take the mini dollhouse broom and sweep every room until all the dust was gone...aaah I love to clean.
