Finished Object Friday

It's that Friday again! This has been a busy pasts couple of weeks for me, and probably for each of you as well!

Yesterday I finished my mom's birthday present - not quite a month late. I was going to make her another apron , but it's a good thing I didn't get it done, she decided she would like a tote bag like this one.

I think it turned out pretty cute! She's excited about it, and will get to enjoy it at different times than she would another apron.

The bags are pretty simple and quick, just a couple of hours or so, but they are fun, and really popular right now. This would make a great shopping bag. :)

Now for what you have been waiting for. It's not my only FOF, because I'm not even sure if I am finished. I'll let you help me decided!

This is what I did with the frame I have been teasing you with:

Yes, it's sitting on my little table... I'm not sure where I am going to put it yet. I have been wanting to do something with chalkboard paint for a while. When I saw this frame, I thought it would make a perfect chalkboard! Now I want to do more with this paint. Maybe some flower pots like these.

The only thing I've done with this project is the actual chalkboard. My question, for you paint pros or interior design pros or whoever stops by, should I paint the frame or leave it?

It is "antiqued" already. (By someone that might know a lot more than me about painting frames.) It kindof looks dark to me, though it seems pointless to paint something only to antique it again!
I would probably do it similar to the way I did this mirror. What do you think?


I hope everyone has had a great week! I can't wait to see what projects you have come up with recently! To learn more about FOF, click here. (Sorry I'm getting this up later than I like to, the internet was out until this morning.)
