No Kid-ing

Guess what I do when two kids are at school, one is down for a nap and the other at a friend's house.

What I've always wanted to do:

I starched Fabric to the wall. I learned how to do that HERE.

My laundry room is BORING. I want to paint it. But that costs money. So today I gave it a little flavor.

I used fabric I had in a box. I freehanded the heart (as you can tell). Then I attempted to do a font on my computer but I couldn't find what i wanted. So get this--I drew letters myself. If you know me at all--you know that is not my talent nor do I possess that skill. But apparently I can--if I use a ruler.

Then I pinned the paper onto the fabric.



Then I just cut the paper and fabric at the same time--worked out well.

Then I taped it to the wall to check for positioning.



Then I whipped up my starch. I halved her recipe. But really you should quarter it--because it makes a lot. So do this:

1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons Cold Water
1 C. Boiling Water

Then I just followed the rest of her tutorial. Then I took a picture for my picture a day. And here she is:



and what can i say but . . . LOVE IT.

You should try this--and if you do--show me.
