Some of you probably thought I'd forgotten today's post, since for past two weeks I have been blogging way earlier than 10 p.m. Frankly with Chase's sleep schedule still a little off, tonight it is later than our usual bedtime. I however, wanted to finish my latest project to have its photo be for today's post.
This started as a trash-picked(reclaimed or upcycled-it just sounds better) old table top. I was originally going to paint it and add a really sweet quote. My brilliant plan for the lettering of the quote didn't work out so well, and I don't have one of those fancy vinyl letter machines. So after spending more time than I'd like to admit on Pinterest, I combined two craft ideas to make one fabulous piece of art. Jas will be happy that one of my projects is finally almost finished!!
{Jason, I promise to finish the kitchen curtains, or have my brother help me finish sewing the last one(hehe:) soon. I will then try to keep the pieces of my unfinished projects off of the dining room table. Thank you, for last weekend putting in my new unconventional curtain tie backs, and looking at the home decor links I send you on a regular basis. Your loving wife}
Day #16 Something New
Photos enlarged to 11x14(Shutterfly you rock!) and mounted onto canvas. This was only my second attempt at using Modge Podge:)
I painted the edges of the canvas first, mounted the photos, and then distressed the edges with more paint. Right now the canvases aren't attached to the wood. Once we get it up on the wall of our family room, I'll post a final photo!
The photo on the left, if you recall, is from right before Chase was discharged from the NICU. And the one on the right was my inspiration for this photo challenge.
Tomorrow's inspirational item: TIME
P.S My dream last night involved losing my camera. I was devastated. Can't imagine why...
