I dunno 'bout you, but when things aren't "quite as they should or could be", I find the best remedy is to busy my hands and mind. That could be with paint, with wood, wool or other... it not only stimulates positive thoughts, it helps me think better. So whether you like to artistically paint, or knit-crochet a sweater, or are adding a funky new wall texture to your walls that warms your special place and changes the entire mood... or you're making a gift for someone special, being creative and doing something that BENEFITS your home, a friend or yourself is a positive and gratifying experience. That's what my journal is all about.
Read, get ideas, find step by step projects that you can do with stuff from around the house. Find links to paint projects, some artistically in watercolors, some for furniture staining or even faux finishing (on walls, furniture, cupboards, in murals and more!) a whole bunch of stuff, that'll remedy and gratify the inner creative you, at least I hope that's what it brings you! Enjoy your stay, tag, comment, expand on ideas and have some creative fun!
Excited!
As I build the "new website" at http://creativefun.bravehost.com I'll be adding this fun and easy project for you to get ideas from or try - if you have some older wooden window shutters hangin around somewhere! (cuz that's what I made this shelf out of!!)
Older Wood Window Shutters (big or small) are sturdy and can be recycled into many different things.
Alot of them were even made with maple wood - some of cedar.
You can also use older fold up closet doors, you know the ones with the shuttered look?! These make awesome floor shelves, or even bracketed wall shelves.
I'm figuring out my colors and stuff for this journal and "how" the new site works, so hang in, I'm on it and have a ton of stuff I'll be entering here!
