Ha ha yesterday I mentioned my shiny new noticeboard that I made myself, but I forgot to show a photo of it (think I was tired as I worked so late the night before).
So today's main photo is my new noticeboard.
I made it by modifying a reasonably priced one (Target $12) by Board Dudes..I wanted a board that you can pin stuff on and use magnets..fussy fussy.
I used my hot glue gun (for the first time ever..) and it wasn't quite as scary as I thought it would be! I used Ikea fabric that I bought to make the lampshades for our flat in London and masking tape on the back around the edges of the fabric, to make it all tidy.
On the lovely new noticeboard you can see magnetic pots - $1.50 for 2 from Michaels - I am planning on filling them with things that I use often, but can't keep in reach due to logistics..so far I have googly eyes in the white one (Hubby's suggestion) and fabric bows in the yellow one. Also on there are x2 images I created using stencils and distress inks.
Stenciling is new for me and I am pleased at how well they have come out. Here is another one -

Final photo for today shows the noticeboard in relation to my desk - sorry the photo is a bit dark.

I am glad you decided to post the missing photo! Great make. Love that fabric. It makes me want to get my colouring pens out. Have a great week. Helen (from WOYWW) x
