a clean slate: burlap inspiration board

faux coffee bean bag sack wall bulletin board

I am fascinated with all of the beautiful projects crafty people are making with coffee bean sacks. I’ve been meaning to make a covered bulletin board like this one for a long time. I just never got my act together and actually got the sack.

Then I found this great piece of burlap and decided I just had to get it up. There was no sewing involved. I used 3M removable hooks instead of putting holes in the wall. The grommets were from my stash. The whole thing took less than an hour from start to finish.

Now I just need to start filling it with inspiration!

how to keep kids away from tree ornaments

felt snowman and christmas trees

Give them felt shapes!

It’s getting more and more difficult to keep my three-year-old away from the ornaments on the tree. Being cooped up inside with no preschool or swimming lesson this week has not helped. This morning I decided she needed her own trees. I grabbed a big pile of felt and cut lots of circles and triangles.

Check out that strong snowman. He’s carrying all four trees with his stick arms!
