For Meredith....

My desire to post since joining the FB world, has diminished.  However, Meredith requested a post.  I hope you enjoy.

Sweet Home, Oregon, has a very cool consignment store.  They sell country-inspired home decor and clothing. I try to pop in occasionally to check it out, sometimes I leave with a new project instead of merchandise.

The latest item is a jewelry organizer.  The original crafter took a very ornate picture frame and replaced the glass with a batting-lined fabric. She then used pushpins to hang various jewelry. 

My version:  I found a cool frame at Ross, fabric at Joannes, pushpins at Michaels, cardboard in the recycle bin, and a deteriorating microfiber velvet blanket to use as batting.

Frame from Ross.

The frame detail.

Fabric-ed Frame!

    These are the pins. (They are more teal than the picture shows.)

This picture does the best to show the fabric's true colors.

I thought adding jewelry would show how it will really look. :)

Final Product!!!

 I hope Jen likes her Birthday present!!!!

PS All pictures were taken with my four-year-old LG phone.  I'm pretty impressed with the quality, given my "camera" (LOL).
