Upcoming Projects!

Posted above is just a little piece of inspiration.

I have finished a few random projects and now I have to focus on getting a few more off my plate before I can start the two hugest ever projects on my life.

1. Clean out my craft closet. The thought of this makes my soul shutter. This is going to be a massive undertaking.
2. Sort and organize all my printed pictures. This is almost as bad.

So before I do either of these things...I am going to finish the last two journals on my list, do the invites for Megan's brother's fiance's wedding shower and finish my bedroom curtain project.

Just an update to a blog that otherwise lacks updates. I'm still here, just not quite as focused as I should be.

Now all we need is the cheese!

In preparation for a cheese and wine party in a few weeks at my humble abode, I took a little trip to the thrift store to create some platters on pedestals. Since we'll have a dozen different types of cheese, I figured it best to have some dimension to the table. I borrowed this idea from a few blogs I've seen...and although I no longer have the original post information, I will update this if I come across it again.
I made these three trays out of plates and glasses from Arc's value village. I think the most expensive of any of the pieces was maybe $1.99. The glasses are attached with E6000 glue. I think they will make the most perfect plates for some of the cheese and accompanying fare that will be served at the party and I am so glad that I can have some dimension on the table! I did get one add'l cup that I really want to find a platter to go on top of, but at least I have my three to start with! Bring on the cheese!
