She's Crafty!

It's been awhile since I've updated the ol' blog but that seems to be my modus operandi.  Since I last posted, much has changed.  The main thing being we've moved.  No longer out in the beautiful Columbia Gorge, we've moved closer to Portland and into Oregon.  We've been busy packing, unpacking, getting used to our new school and area and making our new house a home.  Which brings me to today's post.

A few months back, a friend of mine posted a link to this fun craft on the Facebook page for her blog, http://make-happy.blogspot.com/.  It was for a banner made of out of paint chips that was originally posted here: http://rebekahgough.blogspot.com/2011/06/make-something-monday-4th-of-july-paint.html

The boys decided to share a room again.  I love that they still like eachother enough to share a bedroom.  Once we got all the furninture in, I decided to take down the curtains that were in there mainly because they were long and dark and were hard to open and close since the boys beds were placed right in front of them.  I've been searching for new options but haven't found any yet.  In the meantime, I've done this.

We've been making lots of trips to Home Depot (we're also building a deck in the backyard) so on one of these trips I had the boys pick out some colors that they liked and I just ran with it.  I had some twine left over from some jewerly I'd made and it was perfect.  I finished them up this morning so the boys will see them when they get home from school.

I hope they like them.

Now that both of the boys are in school full time, I've got some time on my hands so I'm hoping to make some more crafty projects in my free time.  A housewifes day just can't be all laundry and cleaning, right?
