Craft Week - Brady

I did some work last week to make Kevin and my somewhat dark, small room in our Chicago apartment brighter. I'm no artist, but here are my humble achievements:



Project #1:



A make-shift desk constructed and donated by Kevin's parents.



I stained the legs to make them match a little bit better.




Project #2:



Took an old block of wood...



put nails in it...



painted it, and have a place to hang my necklaces so they don't get tangled up.



Project #3:



Took these magnetic corkboards (how is that possible?)...



and this fabric...



and put them together. Hopefully this will make our very white room a little more colorful. We're going to hang them above the desk.



Project #4:



Took some ribbon...



And stuck my jewelry on it. Note: This is HANGING from Project #2. Can you believe it?


So, like I said, I'm not a great artist, but it was kind of fun to try this stuff for a few days. No more, though. I'm done with the craftiness for awhile.

  3. Thanks! Hmmmm...I forget when I got them pierced. Maybe late middle school? They're actually DOUBLE PIERCED now. I really felt like a rebel when I did that. :)
