I've figured out that I "erupt" every once in a while in crafting, and then lie dormant for some time. Here are some treasures from my latest "eruption."
My finished frame from the winter. I bought a scratch and dent frame from Big Lots for $3.99 and sprayed it with a can of sand-textured spraypaint I had lying around from another project I'd been meaning to complete. Then I popped out the mirror in the middle and replaced it with silk-covered cork board that I had in my school room. I printed out the photos on my computer, so the whole project cost me $4.19--I bought the frame just before Gov. O'Malley raised the tax rates.

This is one side of a double-sided apron I made. I love the combination of fabrics, though I can't take credit for coordinating them. Joann Fabrics had a great selection of coordinating fabrics with a travel theme. I spent hours in Joann a few weeks later trying to coordinate cloths to make an April-Cornell-like tablecloth, and nearly lost my mind. I decided to make do with my cream colored linen table cloth. Lol

These are paper-covered tins with accordion photo pages I made them for some very special friends.
