Re-vamping old pilliows



My good friend Miss Avry, has had these old pillows.  She purchased them, at a garage sale a year ago.  She  has been wanting to, redo her family room.  I stole them, and re-recovered them.  I also stenciled another pillow to go with them.  

Pinterest Board frames




I saw this idea on Pinterest.  Take a board, stencil it, add paper or fabric.  Get an old frame and glue on top!  I did add some foam tape, on 3 sides of the back of my frames.  This gives it a nice gap.  The pictures slide in and out of the top.

I'm back "Happy Valentines Home"


 I love garlands!  This year, I made the Hearts and black board garland.  It is in my front room.
 I also made a garland, from a deck of cards.  I used all the hearts cards, and the back side of the cards.  I also cut tons!!!  of different hearts on the circut.  I sewed them together, for more garlands.
 My Friend Avry and I.  have been picking a large project for each holiday.  We just finished, this 6ft valentine subway art board.  It looks great in my entry!
 Sweet Miss Avry, made me this heart wreath!

Here is what my mantel looks like this year.  I made the xo and heart, coffee filter, and fabric tied garlands all this year also.  I am in love with garlands.

Halloween home tour





Halloween count down

I am so lucky to have good friends.  My friend Avry is amazing with wood projects.  She always cuts out, an extra project for me:)!  We both loved this sign.  She took care of the wood cutting.  I made the paint templates!

New Halloween decor




I love Halloween!  I make new decor every year.  Here are my new additions this year.

witch hat from an old record


I used the record and the cardboard case.  I purchased the party hat, from the dollar store.  I used it as a template.  I traced the template on the case.  Then hot glued them into cones.  Spray painted the cone black.  Glued them on the records.  Then decorate as you wish!

yellow gravy boat


 My new favorite, garage sale find!   Isn't she cute!  only $1.25










spoon clock

I have be seeing these all over pinterest.  Finally made my own.  Still need to find a place to hang it:)
