Seasonal Boards


Mio and I made the Hello board, for spring in april.  We made this star and stripe board, to replace our spring one.

Old jeans to skirts


My cute friend Mio came to craft.  We made her 2 skirts, from old jeans.  One skirt had an old skirt attached to the bottom.  The black lace was an old curtian.  They turned out darling.

wedding jars



My Sister in law got married 2 weeks ago.  With the help of my sister.  We put together these jars, to go on tables.  We also did this centerpiece.

I know it's a little late.  My blog page has been having issues.  Now that I have figured it out. I still wanted to share.  These fun Easter decorations.

Shopping bag aprons and glam cups



We has some old neighbors, who's son passed away.   I made these for a benefit, to raise funds for this sweet family.  I wish I could have done more to help. Aren't these reusable shopping bag aprons darling?  I saw them on studio5.  I have them linked on pinterest also.  They link you to a tutorial on studio5.

Strange Bird







My grandma, has had this picture hanging in her home. I have always loved it!!! I knew it was the missing part to complete my front room makeover. I knew how special, this picture was to my grandma. It belonged to my great grandma, a friend had drawn it for her. It hung in their home, while my grandmother was growing up. My husband suprised me! he asked my grandma, if he could take a picture and make a print for me. I know the picture is a little risk-a. I love it, and It proudly hangs in my front room. It was the missing link. It has brought the whole room together.

Living room redo





















My front room was pretty boring. I have been collecting random items at garage sale's. Then I saw this couch, that I needed to have. Guess what? It showed up here on Christmas day. It was all coming together. The next week I wall papered, hung my swag lamp, made a frame for my mirror, and recovered a chair. It's not quite done. I'm in the home strech. I will post more pic's when I get it all finished.
