Today my ugly grey Marbig magazine holders went from this:
to this:
And for all of those who wonder how we spent our weekend, here are a few clues:
My 15 year old daughter runs a pet sitting service, minding pets either at our house or at their own. Due to an exceptional set of circumstance we had seven dogs and a bird at our place for a few days. Surprisingly, considering they did not all get along that well, the noise was very low. I have found that dogs who are loved and entertained, more often than not by their fellow dogs, are not destructive or noisy. Animals are like children. If they are bored you'll know soon enough, otherwise you might not hear from them for hours.
to this:
with lots of glue and paper found in my daughters scrapping drawers.
I just wanted something pretty to house my magazines and other bits of paper that float around my sewing room but couldn't find anything within my budget or taste. I will eventually cover them with clear contact. (I know I've got a whole, brand new, still wrapped roll but since I saw it last week it probably won't surface again for another year! O dear!)

Those magazine holders are much prettier now!
ReplyDeleteIf you can't find the contact, a coat of clear varnish might just do the trick.
Lovely magazine-holders! Me and my little one did the same thing this weekend actually, but we used some old Barbie-magazines an gift-wrapping-paper:) Fun to do:)
ReplyDeleteLove the magazine holders, what a great idea and so colourful.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know how you kept sane with all those poochies! Not my idea of a fun weekend.
Cheers
