Crafty Thursdays

It took me awhile to decide what to post this week- this may be due to my brain being extemely tired after a week of mental health crisis galore. Gotta love my job.

We moved into our town home in July and I still feel like my walls are bare. There are many interesting projects on pinterest but I really like canvas art. I am not an artist but these are some ideas that I think I could really pull off!

So once again no blog was actually pinned to this. But I can figure this one out- put down painting tape and paint over it. Pull off tape- viola!

My only problem is that several of these ideas use the cricut machine. I have seen this machine all over the place on blogs and I still don't completely understand what it does. But, I still want one- to bad it isn't in the budget right now.

Happy Crafting,

  1. Oooo I can't wait to see what you try! I painted a series of 4 canvases to put on the big wall over my TV, but I'm not entirely happy with them... one of these days I'm going to paint over them or recover them.

    Maybe you will inspire me :)

    I'm sorry your job has been so stressful! Hopefully things will even out soon. I just had my 6 month probationary review, and I believe they're going to keep me around so that's a good sign. :)

    I miss you!
