Last Monday Made It!


I love how I was planning on doing a classroom reveal last Friday... I'm not even close to being ready! And now I'm hunkering down for 2 . 5 more days of PD 1 . 5 work days to finish setting up my classroom, back to school night, then students come next Monday!!!!


So this is my last Monday Made It for the summer with Tara : )

Remember these 4 "beauties" I pulled out of my neighbors dumpster? My back to school gifts for my co teachers are now done!

Before... lots of cobwebs and dirt, bleh. But after some hard core scrubbing and white spray paint they are transformed!
For my first co teacher...
She has the same color scheme as I with blues and greens

She's a paisley kind of girl so hers is a bit more feminine looking than mine : )
For my second co teacher...
She has a purple, neon green, and black color scheme 
I made a cute purple paisley chair for her. This co worker is very pregnant right now so I gave her my tall director chair so she wouldn't need to squat in and out of the short white chairs. 

For my third co teacher...
She has a bright color scheme with greens, teals, and orange. 
Therefore her chair is super bright! Well, minus the dark photo. I couldn't find great duck cloth for the seat portion and I thought I could get away with an outdoor bright green fabric... don't do it. Just don't be tempted lol. I sank down an extra 2" and it snapped a dowel. I think I need to get some blue for her and try that again. 







And I also made one for myself : )
My classroom is various blue shades and green

So I made myself a green and blue chevron chair! I'm in love with it!


My other Made It has nothing to do with school, but was a project that was good for the soul : )

PICKLES! 60 JARS OF PICKLES!!
and there's a whole different batch not pictured!


sooo many pickles! I even left a whole grocery bag of cucumbers in our teacher's lounge today. Sometimes projects are just good for the heart and soul. I can't wait to try them in a few weeks : )
