SNS #21 highlights
Beautiful new MUCH bigger hallway mirror with hooks, by The Gathering Place. I think the side hook placement on this one makes for one ultra unique piece. Good job on pickin' that colour, hubby! ;)
Adorably rustic clay pot nests from The Bee Zoo. I just love how natural these look. Sweet!
And another lovely nest in a pot variation from Treasures from the Heart.
I've just decided I want a nest in a pot. Or 3.
One of the most amazing photo spreads ever by Mustard Seed Creations, on new uses for an old loaf pan. What a cool piece to work with!
Molding pieces, spools of thread, and a little themed creativity makes for very unique jewelry holders. Anything Goes Here, what a great idea!
Creative clipboard coverings with a tutorial, by Lemon Tree Creations. They look like works of art, don't they?
And I have to award this last one for best use of spare space. What kiddo wouldn't LOVE to have a chalkboard this big and accessible at their beck and call at any given time? Brilliant move on the molding to create the chalkboard frame. This one is a true winner.
Guys, I'd be on my knees drawing right with ya if I could! Brilliant, This Blessed Nest.
Goodness... I want one of those too. For ME!
Are you ready for more? Right this way!
Oh. Before you go?
Just curious... are you currently working on anything cool?

New post up Sunday nite!
I've unofficially changed the spelling of Cottage to Cotttage. Don't you think three t's work better than two? Ah hahaha! What's a girl to do?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Donna!
Thank you for hosting a fun party! What great ideas from last week! Love the chalkboard wall! Looks like hours of fun :)
ReplyDeleteWendy
Thanks again for hosting!!
ReplyDeleteoh you sweet thing!!!
ReplyDeletei tell ya ~ i'm flattered. it is so fun to walk down that hall now. besides the drawing aspect of it all, it really does help occupy them while cooking dinner or well...let's be honest, making more projects. ha!

Kellie, I'm right there with ya! I LOVE my Sat mornings, coffee and SNS. In pjs' of course! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, you're most welcome. Very deserving DIY!
FJ Donna
I love them all!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a cute chalkboard all the way down my hall and colored a cute pennant garland on it, I wouldn't want my kids to color on it! My inner 4 year old would come out!!
I've been working on projects like crazy lately, but it's not creativity that is driving me. It's getting all the crap out of my garage so we can walk in there again!!
ReplyDeleteHappy SNS, Donna!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I couldn't agree more about the photos from Miss Mustard Seed. You can not imagine my surprise when she posted it. I seriously had gotten a loaf pan just like hers from our thrift store a few weeks ago. I thought I was a big smarty pants and going to put plants in it and blow everyone away... and THEN... GASP, she posted her AMAZING pics... I drooled. You girls are all just so darn creative, I can't stand it.
I've not been commenting, but I've been checking you out (and voting) on SYTYCD. Congrats on your projects, thus far!
I have nothing exciting that I'm working on right now, need to go and check out all the inspiration so I can get my mind back in the blog world!
Have a great weekend,
Amy
Projects? Ever since my fingers started talking more than my mouth I have more projects than you can shake a stick at....hold on, I might want that stick for something. 'Member that studio I created while doing your workshop? Well, we need another workshop. It's a total capital D disaster.
ReplyDeleteProjects are as follows:
1. painting two chairs
2. re-doing a seat cushion, rebuilding (who just wrote that, get off here!) the seat
3. slipcover for my sofa
4. two paintings, one for the hallway, one for the joy of it!
5. painting a mirror for my little ones room
6. removing hall closet and pantry doors
7. painting inside closet, changing layout
8. painting little ones room
9. painting a tray
do you want more?...this place is a creative wreck! And I feel like I don't know whether I'm coming or going right now. And the weather changed and now I want to be outside in the garden!! PHEW!
Think I'll just read what everyone else has DONE! Then, say good night!
I love this party. Thanks for hosting again. I think everyone needs one of those chalkboard walls in their home.
ReplyDeleteCan I relate? Heck yes! I've had two major furniture projects going on for a month, that I've been working on in tandem...Just painting a simple stool helped me feel like I'd accomplished something!!! :) Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
Donna,

My house is literally ripped apart too. I have a half-gutted bathroom, partially paint scraped front porch, piles of furniture waiting to be revamped...cute organizational things to actually put to organizational USE!!! It's never ending. My life is a project. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting! I'm looking forward to seeing the fruit of everyones creativity!

I'm playing along for the first time. I actually just found your SNS, how cool-fun! Love everything I see.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you so much for featuring my jewelry holders again! I am off to an Estate Sale this morning of a tailor! Baskets of wooden spools were shown in the preview pictures. I used all my stash of spools for these racks and now I need MORE!
ReplyDeletePS. And back to another one for jute/twine and yarn for some other projects I have in mind. xo Joan@anythinggoeshere
Thanks for hosting. Love, love, that chalkboard wall!!
ReplyDeleteIn am loving the chalkboard and the loaf pans...oh heck!! I am loving it all!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Hugs

Great linky love features as always. And Yes my house is a tip too! And the worst part is, it isn't even because I am working on projects (I wish). I just haven't cleaned it in too long a time. So I'd better get of the computer and get out the mop and bucket.
ReplyDeleteOh do I struggle and I hope to dedicate this day to cleaning up the messes in all my craft areas...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! I seriously LOVE that chalkboard under the molding...your right...brilliant! I'll be coming back for more!
ReplyDeleteYes, I can related and it's starting to get on my nerves! I must clean up some areas this weekend, especially before it gets and stays nice out because then I'll have to be outside doing stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Donna!
Thanks for the link up! Just linked up my brand new blog!
ReplyDeleteDonna--what a fun surprise--thanks so much for featuring my tray. Old metal and a burlap coffee bag, ya I thought you might like it ;).
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Becky
I LOVE this!! So Much Fun!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting - I'm loving all the projects you highlighted from last week!
ReplyDeleteDonna-
ReplyDeleteI look forward to this party all week-- even if I don't always have a project to post.
Am I working on anything cool at the moment- YOU ASK? welll, I've usually got something little going...but I'm beginning to think I'm remedial in the project department! (translates: SLOW!)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE tuning into the SNS party each week and checking out everyone else's monumental projects.
CONGRATS! ON THE WIN FOR THE WEEK. I'm loving that little get together too!
Thanks so much for hosting again! I know this is a lot of work for you, and I hope you know how much we all appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteRight now, my sewing table is completely hidden under about three unfinished projects. (Maybe I should call them works in progress to make myself feel better?) Rest assured you aren't alone that things don't always just fall into place! :)
Congratulations Donna!! Thanks for the sidebar love! Thanks for hosting another great week - these links just get better and better! Amazing features...lovin the chalkboard!
ReplyDeleteHey Donna...congrats on your landslide win! I totally thought you should win....your project is awesome. I can't wait to see what you come up with next week...no pressure or anything. lol
ReplyDeleteKaren@Urban Whyte
Thank you so much for showing off my mirror! I love your site and SNS, so it means a lot. Thanks again, very fun. :) Lots of great stuff this week too!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your Saturday night party. Thanks for hosting. I love your decorating style. I knew you would win last week. Your orgnaizer was fabulous. Do you decorate firetrucks? My husband is a fireman.
ReplyDeleteAlright... my email has combusted. (noooo!) So I'll have to answer some questions here.
ReplyDelete#31 Tracy, I'm a graphic designer/graphics installer by day. One of my accounts is for a major firetruck manufacturer. Here's a post I did on a day in the life of striping a firetruck.

And I happen to agree with your comments. This party is awesome and the links are getting more outstanding as the weeks go by. My blog is too small to feature all I wish to. I need more room! :)
And thanks for the kudos. :)
Off to hack at this email issue. FJ Donna
Thanks for featuring my nests and thanks for hosting the party! I can't wait to get started on my next project to share, and to check out all the other cool links!
