Here is my latest project for my daughter's room. I wanted something to be able to display pictures, souvenirs, and special things for her....but I didn't want a plain brown cork board.
I found a great size cork board (17 in x 23 in) at a yard sale for 25 cents. I already had some pretty flower print fabric that matched her room and a piece of 1/2 in foam the size of the board. I just had to buy some ribbon and buttons that matched.
Basic directions:
I cut the foam the size of the board. Covered the foam and board with the fabric and used a staple gun to attach the fabric to the backside of the wood frame. Then cut the ribbon in the lengths for the design I wanted and also used the staple gun to attach the ribbon to the backside of the frame. Finally, attached the buttons where the ribbon crossed with 'Liquid Stitch' fabric glue. 
If you like quilted purses / tote bags, you'd love my mom's handmade quilted purses! She uses a variety of colors and prints and they are very well made! She sells them through Etsy. Etsy is everything handmade and has thousands of vendors!
My daughter is three and really loves pretending that she's serving mommy and daddy food that she's 'made'. I looked at lots of pretend play food for her...but the quality stuff is so expensive. So, I was recently inspired to create and make some 'food' out of felt. She's been playing with it for about two months and, so far, seems to be pretty durable. I used craft felt, polyfill, beads, foam, imagination and a little patience.
This is the first one...my first post! I'm a blogger beginner and I'm still learning. I love my family, my art, taking pictures, crafts, geocaching, camping, & road trips. I want my blog to be a place where I can share the things I love. I find a lot of inspiration from blogs...and I hope mine will be inspiring as well.
