Kepping busy with crafting!

With a lack of internet at home I have had trouble posting some of my creations, but without internet I have been able to create a lot of lovely things lately. Which is nice since I will be a part of my first craft show on the 19th of November!  I'll be selling some very fun things that I wave wanted to sell for a long time, I will share pictures of my merchandise before I head out to the craft fair but for now I would like to share two other projects I have been working on.  


This is the first project; I used two framed screens and cleaned them well, first with soap and water then with bleach and water.  After rinsing and drying the screens I spray painted them, they are a nice bright addition to my room.  I used paper clips as hooks to hang the necklaces, I was a little worried about how the paperclips would look, but you can barely tell they are there and they hold my necklaces well.

I have also been working on this lamp, I found the the actual lamp a few months ago, at that point it was a dirty looking white color so I decided to change that and painted it pink!  I found a couple of really neat lamp shade ideas the first one I found was with ribbon, then while reading the paper I found the idea for this coffee filter lamp shade and loved it!  The lamp shade is a little big for the lamp so I do think I will find these two new mates eventually, but for now they work well together!  Doesn't my bed side table look happy?

dressing dressers

This summer, along with a few of the other projects I have already shared, I refinished this dresser!  
It isn't an antique or anything special but it was a fun project and ended up being pretty cute.






Like everything else I started by sanding all of the pieces.  




This project was simple, I just had to choose a paint scheme and get down to painting.  
I love this green color and how it alternates with the white. 



I also repainted this side table, which I love! 
The happiness of finishing these projects is very fulfilling and each piece makes my bedroom look better than the next!
