My nesting instinct is in overdrive. I can't even keep up with myself right now! Laundry has piled to the ceiling, sorely neglected, while I have been happily distracted with project after project--sometimes beginning another before the first one is completed. I'll get an inspiration and I'll just run with it. As if sewing curtains with three preschoolers (see post below) wasn't ambitious enough, decorating ideas are running through my brain faster than I can keep up with them. I bought a dozen frames from Goodwill and the damaged rack in Hobby Lobby and I've been up painting for the last three nights.
I really loved these oval frames I bought at a bargain because the glass had been broken. I knew immediately that I wanted to make one of them a chalkboard for the twins' new room. So I bought some chalkboard spray paint from Hobby Lobby (have I mentioned how much I love that store?) and got to work.
Paint is magic.
And just to give you a sneak peek into some of my other "projects" at the moment (posts will soon follow)...
Scrapbook paper and vintage children's books make instant art
Of course my kid's needed a handmade stuffie from mommie...of course

All right, you totally amaze me!!! I, too, have this thing with chalkboard paint. I did my daughter's little table top with it. She loves it!

You are so creative! I love all your projects! You and I have the same taste - because I would do all that stuff! :)
Everything looks so good! I love the chalkboard frames. I am going to have to try that.

How fun! What a great idea! I am always scouting goodwill for fun frames. =)
I loved your description of the curtain-making process, btw. I'm sure they all loved being able to contribute!
Love it ALL! Yay for nesting and all the creative juices a - flowin' and leaving very un-fun things, like laundry, left for awhile!

Oh my! This room is looking so precious. I love all of your finishing touches, and I just love how fresh the black, yellow and soft blue are! Fetching!
Love the chalkboard. I have been wanting to do something like that but I am the least crafty, decorative person evah. Cute!

Love the chalkboard and the stuffies are adorable! People have great businesses making those kind of stuffed animals alone....I think you should do that some day :) I have a thing of chalkboard paint and I've never used it yet. I'm so terrified of paint for some reason....maybe I'm just afraid of getting dirty. LOL!
Aw, Joye...everything is beautiful! And how precious are those curtains! You are so talented! Such an awesome space...perfect for little ones! Can't wait to see what else you complete! Super sweet stuffies ;)
Love everything. Wow you are so creative and crafty...I love it. Love the names you have on your poll. Very cool!
Phew! You are one busy mommie! The chalk board (& drapes) looks great.
Wow! Awesome! I wish we had Hobby Lobby, but sadly, we don't! Keep it up girl!!
Love the little animals you made.

Love everything! The curtains are awesome! I don't think I could have passed on that fabric either. That little vintage chair looks so cool in there too!
Thanks for stopping by- so glad you found my tutorial helpful!
Wow! You are definitely nesting! I love it all!
I came over from A Soft Place to Land. What a lovely blog! I have really enjoyed visiting here. The curtains are awesome, & I always love a good chalkboard, how fun!

I love your projects! The little chalkboard is so cute.
I can relate to having a bunch of projects and everything else going on hold. Just lately I have actually cut back on the projects and have been having fun cooking, organizing and cleaning but pretty soon it will be back the other way again. :-)
Very creative, I love the handmade stuffies!
