Initial Wall Hanging - Craft #1

I totally want to be a crafter and I am easing my way into it.  I've seen similar things all over the blogosphere, so I can't really credit any one person.  This is my version.

Ok, so this started out as possibly the ugliest item in the thrift store!  I was honestly embarrassed to go to the register and check out.  But, I knew it was exactly what I needed - a chunky, real wood frame that was almost like a shadow box.  I paid the ridiculous price of $2.50!  Awful!


I removed the clock pieces and popped off the back.


Love the thick frame!


Made a trip to Hobby Lobby and bought $1.48 of cute fabric and a wooden letter for $.99!

Seersucker type fabric - love it!

The rest was easy peasy!  I sprayed the frame with leftover white spray paint and covered the backing in the fabric.  Perfection was not the goal - I wanted a little bit of rusticness!  I secured it with hot glue.  My sweet hubby wanted to help, so he attached a small screw through the fabric into the backing.  I like this idea so that I can change out fabric as I please.  I hung the letter onto the screw. 

Voila - all done!

Way cute wall hanging for AnnaLauren's room - all for less than $5.00!

  4. Hey there! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a
    theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue.

    If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!

  7. This herb should be used cautiously because of the strength, but it will effectively empty your bowels.
    When used in the right dosage with the right duration in herbal colon cleansers,
    senna does not pose any threat and is known to have a prokinetic effect
    on the gastrointestinal system. Constipation refers to a health
    condition when fewer bowel movements are occurred than it
    should be.

  11. This distressing is complete by sanding the corners of your cabinetries
    for a damaged effect. In spite of all of these, it is possible
    to treat this condition by discovering what
    treatment options are available to you. HCG( not to
    be confused with HGH, which is human growth hormone and is illegal) is a controlled substance in New York State that only a Doctor can prescribe.
    Yes, I believe in the HCG diet 100%, but there
    is no denying the experiences that others have had. Cosmetics,
    oils and body creams help with putting on weight. It is the most
    recommended in home test for pregnancy today. You can find information on the h - CG hormone and
    diet program from the Internet. The area around nipples gets darker just a week after conceiving.
    Be careful for the websites of companies whose prices are hard to find or prices that seem
    abnormally high or low. I can't say scientifically;
    however, it would seem that symptoms of malnutrition would have been documented
    by now with the wide spread use of the h - CG weight loss protocol if the h - CG hormone
    had no effect on our fat cells.

    A good record, including a Super Bowl victory. But was it worth two first-round picks and two second-round picks, the price the Bucs had to pay Oakland owner Al Davis for Gruden, particularly when the franchise hovered around .500 for the six seasons after the Super Bowl title?For Mike Shanahan, two straight Super Bowl wins bought him a decade of coaching the Broncos without another AFC or league title. For Gruden, one Super Bowl bought six years without another January success. What must have annoyed the ownership nearly as much was Gruden's inability to develop a quarterback of the future. He lurched from one short-term veteran (Brad Johnson) to another (Brian Griese) to another (Jeff Garcia) and then back to Griese and to Garcia without
