| New chair, new plants, old everything else...new sofa for XMas!!! |
I have embarked on a little home face lift, with the budget of a drug store contour kit. I have thrown a couple of jobs at my husband including paint and hanging a new light fixture (Well, old. $65 from a little local antique shop!) We have a few new furniture pieces, some new plants, and I have attempted to add a couple new wall hangings. HOWEVER. Woven wall hangings are beyond unaffordable. I spent $30 on the tiniest, ornament-sized hanging that I hung in my bedroom only to have it annoy me every time I look at it. While I do love it, it is truly something I could have made myself with a stick and some $3 yarn. And the normal-sized ones can cost over $300. So I have decided to give it a go. Now, I am FAR from crafty. I definitely try, and wish I were, but the truth of it is, I usually either abandon the project because it starts looking like a goldfish made it, I completely lose interest so it sits in our cabinet until it's irrelevant and I throw away the materials, or I complete it but get frustrated at the very end and rush through the last few (crucial/important/project-making) steps thus wasting money and time and I just purchase the item off Etsy (where I found the idea to Google "DIY woven wall hanging" to begin with). My hope is that by blogging about my progress I will hold myself accountable and will actually finish the damn thing. I just received the first of the 2 materials needed. The second is shipped and on it's way! I am optimistic since there are very few materials and I really just need to tie some knots. Easy, right? Photos to come of materials if I can keep my kids from playing witches using the brass tubing as brooms. No luck so far.
