get crafty.

Clearly wasn't going to announce this a week ago, but I've been inhabiting the bungalow all alone for the past week. I came into the week with a list of crafts/decorative dreams, and was extra productive in both thrift store hunting and craft making. My week didn't fall short in the kickball, cooking, bubble bath or photoshooting departments, either. :)

night 1: i made/hung these tissue paper pompoms.
day 2: i found these old gross canvases in the garage, cut out the middle, and painted the back. i attached yo-yos, buttons, and other fun things. i found the bottles/vases in the garage. i found the brown chest on the side of the road in july, and just got around to painting it coral and then brown and distressing it.

day 3: i found the frames at goodwill and painted them. i attached the knob to my randompieceofwood. i made another canvas frame thing and tied twine through the middle so i can hang things in it. ideally, i would have used chicken wire and a huge canvas... but that will happen soon. ALSO, i attempted to make something using wood and cute knobs, but my lighter/butcher knife method of cutting wood was quite unsuccessful. :) yes, i'm serious.
day 4: coffee date, thrift store shopping, kickball, cooked dinner for fun people. craftless.

day 5: i painted & distressed this chair for Lauren's desk and i painted more frames for random places around the house, but they're still drying.

it's been a productive, fun, freeing week. oh, and my excitement to see my friends that were studying abroad last semester cannot.be.contained.

happy thursday! :)
