The Quirky Housewife: Quirky Ideas

Today, while at work, I started thinking (uh oh!) of all the things I want to do! Nothing too extreme, just some fun things I've been wanting to do. I decided to write a list, everyone loves lists. This is my "27 before 28".

This isn't a "must do" list, but it is things I would like to accomplish before my 28th birthday next year! I don't think Im going to type out all of my list right now, but next year, on my birthday I'll type it out, and whether or not I can check it off!

In other news, I have been trying to be "Mrs. Crafty-pants" over here. (I just used MRS, cuz Im a married woman now sigh) I decided to make myself a banner. I have two blank walls by my dining room table, and It was driving me crazy not having anything there! So, here's how I did it:

First, I bought scrap book paper, and then I made a template, about 7 inches across, and 9 inches tall.

I then used that to cut them out, and proceeded to thread a piece of yarn through

and this is what I ended up with!

Easy!!

I made two! :)

Now, Im left with a blank wall on the opposite side! I can't live with that. I found these, and printed them out. I went to the Dollar Tree, and bought some black simple frames, and ta da!! I have decor for just $3! Can't beat that with a stick! :)

I feel like it needs something else, but I haven't thought of anything yet! When I do, you better believe I'll blog about it!

I was feeling super crafty, and decided to paint my kitchen chairs! They aren't finished yet, we (I enlisted my hubby's help) are still trying to sand them down! Im new to this, and I didn't realize what I got myself into! Im so excited about the finish product though!
