I've been busy working on a couple projects.
First is a bow holder for all the bows we have. We love bows. And since I've had all of Grace's bows just hanging on some ribbon for a year I decided to make a little bow holder. I didn't want one of the ones with their initials since I have 2 girls and I keep their bows in a bathroom that they both share. I got the little plaque at the dollar store and then used ribbon I already had... cheap project!!

Look it matches the polka dots in the shower curtain!
I also decide that our kitchen table needed a face lift. This is a table that my aunt and uncle gave to me when I was a sophomore in college. They had it for about 20 years and I have used it for about 10. And I just really don't want to spend our extra money on a new kitchen table so I decided to paint it black. Totally different, but I really like it.
Before (I had started to sand it when I remembered I needed to take a before pic)
After (well sort of... still in my garage waiting for me to Polyurethane it and push it back together)
I actually think the after picture doesn't give it justice b/c it really is pretty... so I'll post another picture once its back in my kitchen nook.

They look good! I want to see them in person.
P.S. - Seth just walked past as I was reading this & said, "Aw, I miss them. We need to hang out."

Well looky looky, Miss Crafty! What a cute idea for the girl's bows and the table looks AMAZING!!!
1st, the bow holder is super adorable. 2nd, I have been wanting to paint my kitchen table black for months, but have been afraid...Now I am so going to this spring. Thanks
Cute bow holder!! We have outgrown our little one I made and need a bigger one - may be trying that soon!! table looks good too!! Crafty , crafty!!
Table looks nice.
Miss Averee has one with her name on it, too. I sold a ton of these over the Christmas holidays!
Glad to know that after we have baby # 2, I'll still be able to be crafty, since you have time for it.
Hey girl --- did you sand down that table? or just paint over the top?? I'm in the mood to paint our kitchen cabinets - but should probably start with something smaller - like a coffee table or something...looks great!
Cute cute cute! I love the bow holder, you are so creative! The table looks awesome! Are you going to paint the chairs too? I can't wait to see the finished project in the kitchen nook:) Great job!

Look at you, Miss Creative! I'm impressed :) I LOVE the bow holder & I'm in desperate need of one with two girls as well. What dollar store did you get it at? Did you cut holes in in for the ribbon yourself? love it!
