busy lil B.

i had a rough start this morning. couldn't get goin, so i took a little siesta and then all this happened when i woke up.

greg is in for a treat when he gets home.

so, i do enjoy cookbooks but i don't have anything to stand em up on and i like lil cards [better] too sometimes. this is a framed piece of tin. i kept the glass over it, the magnets i have are super strong but regular magnets don't exactly work on the glass.

and it stands up, cuz, duh, it's a frame. woot.

an 8x10 frame to be more specific.

an example of its capabilities.

this one is 5x7, same deal.

except, i think i accidentally threw away the back so it doesn't stand up anymore. so here it is with a stand thing.

my size of recipe cards kinda cover up the words but it still works.

on pinterest i've been seeing lots of fall decor and i really wanna decorate. but ummmm it's still august. so i'm just getting prepared kinda.

roughed up. autumn in gold and the rest in espresso.

i just added a clear coat on it but it's still outside so no pix of that sorry.

the words are roughly 12x3.5, to give you an idea of size.

now this, i used the excess or the outline i guess of ^^^ and put it on some tin. and spray painted it with espresso. first primer, then brown. i got the idea from a blog the house of smiths and she did a tute here.

roughed it up lightly with some sandpaper.

and some green ribbon.

this use to be the sign "you make life sweet" i did awhile ago in gray and coralish whatever. i wasn't a fan so i sanded it all off and did this.

i was kinda likin the way the sand paper was makin lil scratches so i kept it goin. i started out using my sander but it gets out of control fast so i just used my hand and sanded it that way.

once again, used espresso and then some yellow.

and that was my day! phew!

time to clean my junk up.
