This is a blog to help me deal with the fact that I'm now a retired stay-at-home Mom, or empty nester. Lucky you, you get to hear all about it while I work it out !

First Project



OK so week one is complete and I did do a project :-) My earrings were in a little dish and all tangled up. I've been reading Pioneer Woman's blog and she is on a jewelry organizing kick also so it got me motivated. I have little room so I decided to go for something that would take advantage of my wall space (though there isn't much of that either). So taking these items -






a frame from Goodwill .99 cents, netting .49 cents, glue sticks .08 cents, hooks I had.


I took the innards out of the frame and glued the netting in its place. My original idea was to use the hooks for hoop earrings but that didn't work. Instead I used some twine and made a "swag" type thing on the bottom to hang my hoops from. I had a bunch of the same hoops, go figure. So I did a little sorting at the same time :-)


Now I have this -





I still need to do something with the post type earrings I have but this works for now. What do you think?

    That is very cool. For your posts - try a piece of plastic cross stitch canvas. Look in the cross stitch section of your favorite craft store. It comes white, but I'm sure a little craft paint could change it to any color you desired.

    Anyway, there's an idea for you :)
