Creative Weekend

This weekend Joe is in Colorado having fun riding mountain bikes, fishing, and playing golf. And, I'm at home (yes, I could have gone with him, but chose not to) having fun creating things.  That's what I like to do. I mentioned before I would post what I was doing with the material I purchased.  This skirt below is not finished yet. I haven't sewn the material on the pockets YET. But I'm going to. I will wear this with my red cowboy boots.

And the pretty rhinestoned red belt I bought in Las Vegas.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  It is very bling-y!

I found this t-shirt yesterday at the new Fan Outfitters store that just opened up this week.  I really liked the shirt and did not want to cut it up. Soooo, I actually made a "skirt" that I can wear up high or close to my waist, whatever I feel like that day. I put black & white polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon at the top and used it as casing for the elastic.

I had a black belt that I can wear over the polka dots if I want.

Here's the finished product complete with my red cowboy boots.

 

I stopped by the Salvation Army store (which fortunately is close by my house) and purchased this metal tray for $3.99 yesterday.  (I also saw this on Pinterest.)

I went to Michaels and purchased some chalkboard paint.  They had black, blue or mint green.  I chose the mint green which kind of goes with my kitchen/laundry room.  I can't get to the old sidewalk chalk in the garage or I'd test it out, but I did put some refrigerator magnets on there.  Will either hang it on the wall in the laundry room or purchase an easel and place in on the Hoosier cabinet in the kitchen. I put two coats of paint on there.  It looks good but I may add another coat.
