Household Organizer

As you enter our apartment there's a small household organizer. I got it at a thrift store, and until this morning the top was corkboard. The previous owners had clearly painted the frame black. The reason I know this is that they got black paint all over the corkboard. (Which is why I picked it up so cheap. Difficult to complain.) So I've been ignoring it for the past few months.
Fast forward to today. My local quilt shop celebrated its second birthday! www.sharedstitches.com It was amazing! There was birthday cake, there were fruit trays, door prizes, and they gave away free stuff if you bought enough. (I bought enough.) And, by the way, THE ENTIRE STORE WAS 20% OFF. Holy cow! I met a girlfriend there at ten and we didn't leave until one. It was amazing.


I bought the next fabric I need for the quilt I'm making, a ruler set so that I can make a really cool design (I'll post once I finish one), a few yards of some out-of-my-comfort-zone fabrics, a few fat quarters, and one fat eighth. I didn't know what I was going to do with the fat eighth, but it was this beautiful cream batik, and I couldn't pass up the oportunity to have it. I'm kind of a batik fiend.
I got home today and was drooling over my new fabrics, I figured out how to use the fat eighth and cover up the corkboard!
