Fifteen days later...

I am having the busiest month but I've still had time to be crafty so I thought I'd update. Midterm grades are in, the apartment is clean, the car is vacuumed out, and I was paid yesterday - so the fridge finally has food in it. ;) I gave a reading tonight and feel super charged so here we go!

--I went around sticking felt snowflakes to the bottoms of decorative candle holders and vases that tend to scratch tabletops. They sell felt circles (at craft stores) for this purpose but these were on sale and I thought they'll be hilarious whenever visitors accidentally notice them:


--I carved a pumpkin for the first time, ha.

--I "borrowed" a chair from WVU that was wasting away in a basement. I think it's from the 60's or 70's and it reminds me very much of grade school. I tightened the washers underneath, sanded off the old stain and painted it white after taping off the seat - the original vinyl seat color is what drew me to the thing in the first place. Now it's fabulous!

--AND - I finally finished the "cork"board! Yay. (Thanks to: a bandsaw to cut the border, knife to cut the corks - be careful - stain to keep it pretty, hot glue gun to stick them to the backing and wooden wine stoppers as the decorative corners.)
