Picture below I painted the oval with chalkboard paint. The only downfall is the location. Being over the stove makes the chalk fade. It says "Yum!" but you can barely see it. I want to try some of the dry erase chalkboard markers that HL has and see if they work better.

The dry erase board/magnet board I have hanging inside my pantry. I also painted the outside with chalkboard paint so I'd have plenty of note-taking room =)

Craft shed aka The Woman Cave!

My beautiful shed! Bought purposefully for all my crafting needs. These pics were taken about a year ago, if not more, but I'm just getting around to posting. Yes, I'm a horrible blogger, lol. The shed is still a working progress. I got it shortly before I found out I was expecting and, let me tell you, pregnancy made me extremely tired and swollen. Needless to say, my crafting dream was put on hold. In the meantime, here are some pics. More to come of what it looks like presently...

Office revamped into pantry!

Remember these pics from my proud cleaning spree? (Side note: this office area seemed to never stay clean).

Then before pic...

Then after pic...
Weeeelllllll, it was awhile later that I pondered whether to turn this into a pantry. I knew I needed more kitchen space and I was also contemplating turning my guest bedroom into an office/craft room.....that guest bedroom never happened because I got pregnant, lol. Nursery ideas then consumed my every internet search! Anywho, I finally have a pantry!

I got the doors from my Gern. They used to be in her old house that I pretty much grew up in so I love them more for the memories!

THe fLeA mArKeT!

I got this small milk jug full of marbles. I just thought is was cute =)These jars with the little lid thingies! I wish I would have got the next largest one I had seen. Then I would have a set but oh well....I absolutely loved the cover of this book then I got a nice surprise when I seen the publishing date...Yeap, that would be 1889!

My finds from the Boys Ranch Thrift Store =)

I hit the jackpot this day, lol. What was supposed to be a quick stop quickly became a shopping spree...all for $8. I have plans for the stand. I've painted and cleaned the marker/magnet board...and I've put up the cattails! Pics to come...

Here's my tiered tray that I had to do after my friend Amy tried it over at CraftyADHD. The idea originally came from Shanty2Chic. Instead of using hat box lids, I used two stove top covers and the smallest lid is from a small, round cookie tin. I purchased all that from the Dollar Tree. The wood pieces I got from Hobby Lobby and from Amy =) My tray appears normal but let me tell ya, it's not, lol. I accidentally got latex based spray paint. Nope, did NOT work on metal. It just peeled off sooooo the bottom of the trays (which you can't see ;) are not completely painted but I was tired of messing with it, lol.

Recovering my Library Bag...

I used two fat quarters and some additional polka dot fabric I had. Didn't sew a thing, I used the iron and that iron on sewing stuff, lol. I forgot what it's called! I tied rag bows on the straps and my flowers and the buttons, I hot glued on.
