crafts

So, I've always wanted to be crafty, I just have never done it.
But, thanks to Pinterest, I get all these fun ideas, and have learned how easier they are to make!
And it doesn't hurt that I have to build a website for class, and DIY is my subject.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
This is the first project.
It's going to be a key holder.
We lose keys on the daily in our house. 
Obviously not quite done yet, but it will look like what I made for Kate for Christmas.
Which is this.

Next project was for V-Day, figured I could decorate.

I just bought wood hearts form Michael's 
Painted them different colors, just with acrylic craft paint. 
Used the handy-dandy Cricut to make our names. 
Connected the ribbon with the hot glue gun. 
And, ta-da! 
It is now hanging on our wall. 
I made this during the Superbowl. 
I honestly didn't care enough to just watch it, so I made this while I watched.
I didn't have my camera so I don't have step by step, I will though. I will have to make Kate's or my mom's. 
It's simple though, styrofoam heart, felt circles (hardest part), and push pins.
Done.

the reveal

It's done! With the help of John, I did it!
This is only one of the projects, but oh well.
A "L" for our front door! I wrapped it in fabric, and just used a staple gun to attach it, which was much harder than I thought it was going to be.
See, finished!
Next step, painting the front door black.
And eventually getting a new front door without a window into my life.
