2, Craft lost, Craft found

ok so I started out today thinking I would paint this fame post it & that would be my cute craft friday post, yeah let me show you in pictures how badly that turned out, despite the fact that it really started looking good.

this is where is diaster began. despite the traditional blue painters tape, the teal paint leaked into the pink, so the stripes were ruined, & the cute flower stickers would not come off without peeling the paint. it looked awlful!
I got so mad I tried to scrub all the paint off, this is what I ended up with, yikes!

Not all is lost though, I am going to stand it to get that teal paint off, and this time it will be beautiful!

I did end up with a craft though, I made a pillow!
I know what you are thinking "this chick can't paint a picture frame, she sewed a pillow?!"
But I did I truly did!
I was at my boyfriends, me & his mom got bored & took a trip to Joann's, I told her about these cute pillows, & she thought we should try it. we got the stuff we needed, fabric and pom-pom trim. she had little pillows so we just covered those. We used a sewing machine of course, but I did have to stitch one side by hand! I think it looks super cute, I'm already planning on making some more! I love how the pillow added some softness to this teal folding chair, too cute!
