so if youve been to TJ Maxx or Marshalls lately youve probably seen the Tommy Hilfiger critter sheets. I found the pink and green (ok turquoise) ANCHOR ones!! heart be still! too bad they are only 200tc (um hello cardboard) and I could only find them in twin (my bed at school is full and none of the rooms at my house are twin) aka they are useless (I found full/queen on ebay for $60..but no way I'm paying that much for something that doesnt exactly match my room and thats for $20 at said stores). So clearly I bought them. I decided to be crafty (I am not crafty AT ALL) and make things with them for my room!
Well I made a trial memo board with pink and green paisley fabric I had laying around (one day I thought I would be crafty. clearly it sat in the Michael's bag for months)...and its GORGEOUS! and SO easy to make! So I'm going to make a ton more with the paisley fabric (I'm not ready to cut up the anchor sheets...yes I realize I have no other use for them...). And I'm definitely going to make them for my friends/temp littles/real little as soon as I get one! I'm so excited!
I tried to upload a picture of the memo board for forever but it just won't work. ugh.
All I did was take fabric, stretch it around a used canvas (ugly thing I painted last year when I decided to be crafty), and staple gun it to the back. Then staple gun on ribbon going diagonal (small board so I only needed 2 strips across). For bigger boards I got quilt batting, but the small one is fine without it. Easy project!

Oh that sheets are so cute!
I saw the sheets on ebay too and was so tempted to buy them. I will look for them at Marshalls/TJ Maxx now. I love your memo board idea :)
PAGA, my love...
