Pinning

I have become obsessed with Pinterest.  Who hasn't right?  I'm calling it The New Facebook.  I no longer race to the computer to see who is saying what on Facebook - I grab my first cup of coffee and immediately see who is pinning the next fabulous DIY project or pattern or new fabrics.  I AM OBSESSED I TELL YA!!!  I am currently not working, so the amount of free time I have on my hands has been amazing!  Since moving to St. Louis, I have painted furniture and crocheted 2 scarves, a headband, and a hat - yes, I had to relearn how to crochet again it had been so long.  Thanks to the internet tutorials I found that as well.


Since moving in November, I have had so much fun and it's been really rewarding for me.  I love to create things with my hands and enjoy the heck out of them when they turn out the way I hoped!  Currently I am working on a canvas I am calling "The Journey.'  I am no anxious to finish it.  I will post a pic when I am finished!


The is one of my before and after furniture rehab projects.  Upcycled?  I think so.  Used to be an old office cabinet.  I now use it as a linen storage cabinet and it holds the TV in our bedroom.  Have to be creative with my new space, since I now live in a smaller space than I am used to!  LOVING LOFT LIFE!!!  No complaints!  More later ~

  1. Kara, I am grateful for your comment on my blog! I am also pleased to hear the happy ending (well, of this chapter) of your story, and appreciate your compliment to my faux finishing. It has been a long time since I have used those talents, but miss the pleasure of seeing something morph, like this cabinet of yours!
