One of many projects

My sister was saying that I haven't updated my blog lately, seriously, its been 3 days. Anyways, I wanted to share what I did tonight. I have had the idea for a while, I stole it from somewhere. Anyways, here is a cork board that I have had since I was about 7 y.o. Really it is that old, if it isn't then I switched my old crappy one with my sister and she has the older crappyer one. Whatever. Anyways, I'm bored with my room, as always, it needs color so some sort. Since I have a big problem with buying paper I have a smaller but more expensive problem of buying fabric. I think I'm pretty good, just wish I could sew faster or really not as lazy. So I had this fabric that looked really great on the computer, but when I got it, the pattern on the fabric was REALLY big. In my opinion it was too big to do anything with in a quilt, might try to make something else with it. But I did use it for this project cause it is bright, which it what my room needs.

Old cork board
I took the fabric and put some interfacing on it b/c it was kinda thin. I didn't want the cork to show through the fabric. Then I took my staple gun and pulled the fabric around the board.

After I pulled the fabric all the way around I had some ribbon that was given to my by my good friend Christine. I pulled in a pattern and stapled it down.

Here's my finished product. It is more of an inspiration/place for my pictures so I remember to scrapbook them.

With a few more pictures on them.

I did some painting as well, but nothing to be proud of, I ran out of paint. I will get more tomorrow. I'm also going to play with my new Bind-it-all that I got from my parents for Xmas. I'm going down to get more chipboard covers. Have another project in mind for a friend.
