winter.spring - er, summer? cleaning? makeover!

after being propelled out of our tiny spring-winter-like weather - we tore into summer heat this week! but easing back into a spring-ness by the weekend... and our kitchen continues to get a little make-over...

last weekend - i played around with cake-pops --- learned about them via Alisa Burke -- also found a sweet tutorial on youtube.

but after messing with the sticks on my first run through - gave up...and just made little balls or bon-bons! they are best eaten right out of the freezer!! :)

but what does this have to do with a kitchen-makeover!?! nothing really, only that i love my walls a bit more now so i am in a more creative mood.

now for another project to throw into the mix. i've had these old frame-backs sitting in my studio (which is also getting a good spring cleaning) and decided to turn them into art-holders for my little master artists who always amaze me with their creations.

so it already has a hook on the back for hanging - there is no glass and there is no frame. alter some clothespins and glue them onto the board - i chose 2 for each "frame" so the larger works of art would hang easier.

i also painted a white border to dress the rustic frame up a bit. i am totally pleased with it! rustic, simple, wild, and easy!!

you could certainly alter the frames up any old way - i even thought about stringing ribbons through the holes on the edges... but decided on the clothespins in the end.

wheeeeeeeee!
