Hey Friends!

So.....I kinda forgot that I promised to show you my wall art :/

Blogging more consistently is definitely going to be my New Year's Resolution!

To continue with the wall art.....

I created this cute piece of art using an ugly old picture in a cool frame with some pretty fabric.

:)

Here is what I started with....

Pretty ugly picture, right?

The Supplies:

Tacky glue mixed with equal parts water and a paint brush.

Ugly picture, cool frame, and pretty fabric.

The Steps: 

First, paint the glue on small sections at a time.

Next, press the fabric onto the picture. (You'll want the fabric to be slightly larger than the picture)

Continue painting some sections and pressing down the fabric until you have covered the whole picture.

Next flip it over and glue down the edges.

You can let it dry for about an hour or if you are impatient like me...just stick it back in the frame!

Since my picture fit in the frame, I just needed to press down the staples that were already there.

Then, Violia! You have a cute piece of art :)

What do you think?

DIY Time: Wall Art 1

Ok so I have some fun posts coming up with some DIY projects I have completed!

The first project I wanted to show you was to create some nice wall art for above my bed.

SO...I had these three frames that I bought from a thrift store a long time ago. They probably cost me about a $1 each and I have been wondering what I should do with them.

 The first frame, I had was really big and I made a little clothesline on the frame to hang some engagement pictures of me and my husband.

I can't for the life of me, figure out how to rotate this picture...so just turn your head sideways...and if you know how, leave me a comment on how to fix it! 

Anyway...this project was really easy to complete.

Materials needed: staple gun, fishing line, clothes pins, empty frame.

Since I did this frame over a year ago, I have no pictures!....but the process is really easy.

Staple the fishing line to the back of the frame, hang pictures with clothespins! DONE :)  

I am changing the colors of our bedroom to chocolate brown and burnt orange, so I spray-painted the clothes pins burnt orange :)

That completes the first picture in my three picture piece :) 

Stay tuned for the next ones!

Happy Birthday! I'm Pregnant!

My best birthday present this birthday is finding out I'm pregnant!

Well...technically I found out on October 30, so it was really like an early birthday present.

My husband and I didn't plan this precious gift, but it is a delightful surprise :)

I took two tests just to make sure! 

Nervous & Excited!

We decided to keep it a secret until we had an ultrasound just to make sure the tests weren't wrong.

Yep, there's a baby in there! That little black dot is the "egg sac" that our baby will begin to grow in! 

It's actually already growing, it's just too small to see.  I'm only 5 weeks...well 6 weeks now :)

My first belly bump picture...there's nothing showing yet!

This is probably not going to turn into a mommy blog...but you can expect some updates here and there :)
