A Chain of Events

On Sunday I got my Blackbird Cathedral poster.

Today, I went to Target for many things and thought I'd look for a frame there.

But I realized I'd forgotten to look after I'd left the store.

But that's ok, I thought. I'll go to Hobby Lobby. Surely they'll have a frame there.

So I went to Hobby Lobby and it turns out that an 11x17 frame is not all that common.

But I bought this gorgeous ornate white frame, that I can put a painting in... or perhaps a mirror.

And I bought a 12x24 frame because it cost 3.99, and I figured that for 3.99 I could make art to fit it.

I left and thought, perhaps I'll cheat and find a poster and not have to make art.

I got on allposters.com and promptly found 4 posters (2 for only 2.99!) that I liked, and I ordered them.

A Monet, A Van Gogh, and 2 Muchas

None of them were the right size for my empty frame.

In fact, I didn't find anything that I liked in the size of my empty frame. I think I've decided to find or use some fabric in the frame.

Then I thought about all the art in my house I have that needs a home on a wall. So I put up a bunch of misc. art/ photos in my hallway.

And decided that I have a few pictures that I don't like the art anymore, but the frame is nice so I need to change the art to something that goes with my house.

And while I was hanging things, I hung more nails in my necklace wall

And then I decided to create a line to put all my hair extensions on

Then I found this adorable old curmudgeon that I never made into anything, but I should.

So basically my project list exploded and now I have: 4 posters which will need frames, a big white frame that needs art, a black empty frame to fill with fabric, several frames that need to have something else inside them, a hallway full of pictures, a necklace wall and an extension wall, an adorable old curmudgeon, and my Blackbird Cathedral poster that started this all- still without a frame.

And after all that I sat back down and checked Target's website....

They have an 11x17 frame that would be exactly what I needed in stock.

 

What can I say?
