Drawer shelves + map roses

This is my biggest project yet! I found these $2 drawers at Restore in North Fort Collins. What a deal! I've been looking all over for cheap drawers and could never find them without a dresser or desk tagging along with it.
      Anyway, I'm glad I got these done before school starts. When monday comes, things will be different. For one, I'll have friends. For two, I won't be home as much. For three, summers almost over! I need to spend it outside!

These are the drawers I found. The
one in the back right was a pain!


I found orange paint at Habitat
for Humanity. Brand new for $1!

Finish product!
Left overed fabric from the cross-stitch rings
for the background of the shelves

Map Roses
  I forgot to take a picture of the middle step, but basically you cut a spiral out of a circular piece of paper and roll it up to make the rose






All done. Close up of the vase sitting
above the shelves.

Headband

I can't help that I have no friends and spend most of my time locked in my room doing crafts. Okay, so that's not true. But I must say, once you get started, you can't stop.

all it is a t-shirt cut into strips and braided!

Craftiness

Simple and easy room projects. I have to credit my craftiness to stumble-upon

I saw this a few months ago and have been
waiting impatiently to actually put this idea
into action. I would say it was quite successful. 
It's really quite easy. All it is is fabric and
cross-stitch rings.

I also painted a wooden table orange to be my night stand. My first furniture project.

Love-sick

Vanity, Vanity, everything is Vanity!

I cannot contain my love for him. Each breath I breath in is His love for me. It's so satisfying, so fulfilling, so good. So each breath I take, I hold it. Because just one breath is almost too much for me to handle. But then, as I hold it, I realize I need more. I need more of his overwhelming, over powering love. So I do it over and over again. Drinking deep. One giant breath. Hold. And then I gasp for more. It repeats, and I cannot stop.    They see me, and they wonder what's wrong. I'm strange they say. But all I am is love-sick.

I want nothing of this world. No human wisdom, no intellectual knowledge, no fame, no fortune, no relationships. I just want Him.

Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.
