Frame & Twine

Finally finished!!

This is one of those projects that I have had sitting around for 2 weeks. Lonely, and questioning me when I would finish it. Yes, my projects harass me, don’t yours?

So a little while back I scored this picture frame for $5 at my local craft store. I knew right away what I wanted it for, thank goodness my husband was away on a research assignment to not question my random madness a HAVING to have the frame.

There was a bottle IVORY Rustoleum spray paint waiting to be used. And let me post a friendly reminder, to ALWAYS SHAKE YOUR SPRAY PAINT VIGOROUSLY! Apparently I did not shake hard ENOUGH, and was having different colored layers on my frame. I was NOT a happy camper.

So the frame sat….. a long time painted with NO WHERE to go.
Though I had the twine, and glue gun, it wasn’t until today that my mind was cleared enough to think “oh yeah….”

So I cut up the twine in different sizes, positioned it where I thought it looked sexy, and worked patiently with the hot glue gun .

This was looking to be a productive Sunday.

Then though the frame was complete, it had to be adorned with cute clothes pins. Yes, CUTE. So out came some scrapbook paper & mod podge. As I wasted 3 hours of my life watching ‘No Country Old Men’ (that movie sucked, I’m sorry if you like it, did you?) with the hubby (it was just one of those movies that was on queue with Netflix that was sitting next to the TV for 2 months), I traced the clothes pins, cut, modge podged .

Then I chose some favorite pictures, hung em up. Had my hubby come and stare at the wall with me, constantly asking him “what do you think? Are you impressed? Looks good huh? Seriously, what do you think?”.

Well I think I love it.

Are you loving the “natural” light? Hahaha, I set up a lamp… it doesn’t look THAT bad.

The clothespins are too cute, or my kids are …maybe both:)
