Getting Creative...What Are You Making?

A few days ago I found my art crayons and painted big flowers on my kitchen walls :lol:
 
I enjoy pressing flowers and making book marks, cards, shadow boxes with dried & pressed flowers, pine cones, etc.
 
I can't knit either...it just all ends up in knots instead of knits. :goof:

We're having major humidity here as well, and it's really so frustrating when there's something you want to paint! It sounds like you're gonna have beautiful furniture when you're done. :nod:
 
I'm going to be writing a 30-40 page spec script for the TV series Community as part of Script Frenzy in April! I hope that counts as "making" something. :lol:
 
I found an old quilting project that I started last year, so I think I'll work on that. :)
 
I'm so horrible at knitting. I always start a project with good intentions and then it ends up looking terrible and I always give up about halfway through :lol:

I've started painting the table and chairs but the humidity has been so horrible I haven't made much progress. I'm afraid if I paint right now it won't dry and I'll end up with drips and bubbles and the like and I'm just not willing to risk that because the first few coats went on really well. I'm doing the really, really thin coat method because I don't want to risk messing up the texture, decorations, or general look because of globs of paint ending up in some of the detail work.
 
:hug: Thanks. Zip ties. Duct tape. WD40. Gotta have that stuff! :D The trick is not to have the repairs end up looking like a picture from There, I Fixed It :lol:

I've seen some very old iron box springs and, if I recall properly, they had a bit of a "lip" that would fit over the edge of a bedframe to keep it steady. That's the only reason I can imagine that a bed would have been made the way this one is.

I think that knitting is amazingly creative! :nod: I hope you'll post a picture of your jacket when you finish it. :)
 
^ That's such a lovely guest room! it looks so warm and inviting! you are fantastically handy! zip ties keep the universe together :lol: ...how would was a mattress supposed to fit in if there aren't slat to keep it in place? or something on the bottom?! that' so weird.


I'm not a creative individual myself, but I like to knit and am currently knitting a light summer jacket for myself :) I'm very excited, I love the feel of this yarn and the way it's coming out so far :)
 
:nod: I love all the creative stuff people are doing. Anyone want to post pictures?

BTW, my seedlings are sprouting in their little plastic greenhouses. :flowers:
 
^ Thanks :) I kinda have fun decorating, especially when I have to re-create something that seems unworkable (like that bed). I've never had a bed that didn't need slats but since I've never had a "new" bed so I honestly don't know.

The guest room kinda looks like an old-fashioned kid's room--not intentionally really; just using what I have to make it cute, and what I had tended to be kidstuff. The doll belonged to my mother. And, yeah, there are birds all over the room; I like birds.

My mother and my aunt made the stuffed toys. And re-building the blue cabinet was a family project--it was hideously filthy and headed for the trash when I found it at a flea market. I've still gotta paint the bookshelf and there are other things I need to do. Overall, it seems like a happy room to me.

Lem Oh, the guest room is so cute! Awesome job! And nice fix to avoid the glue :D

Do new beds not require slats? :lol: All of my bed frames are so old they have the slats :P
