Maggie's TV cabinet transformation

My Sis in law has been in love with the TV cabinet I turned into a shelf.  So much that she found herself one.  My husband spent the day there, helping convert it into this.  I am sure it will look awesome painted.  She is going to paint it coral.  I hope to post finished pictures.

Valerie's Chair and special pillow

I had a chance to help a mom that is part of my daughters playgroup.  She had a chair she wanted to recover.  I wish I had been better about taking pictures.  While helping her,  I put the wrong piece of fabric on the back ( why does that always happen when its not your own project!)  We had to rip it off and cut a new piece.  I felt horrible.  I couldn't waste the other piece, but it had holes all down the middle of it.  I took the fabric home.  I ended up cutting out the center and making her this pillow.  I hope she likes it.
 We weren't quite finished.  I love how it turned out.  So classy
 I used the freezer paper stencil

Changeable Holiday mini burlap wreath on a chalkboard

My inspiration came from here http://www.tiedribbon.com/2014/01/valentines-decor.html.  Mine is a mini burlap wreath.  I used junk!!!  I had lying around my house.  I spray painted the platter with chalkboard paint.  The white ring came off of lights we replaced in our home.   I cut scrap burlap into 2 inch squares and folded them and then glued them on to the ring.

Key to my heart valentine burlap door mat

I found my inspiration here http://honeywerehome.blogspot.com/2013/01/valentine-ideas-diy-door-mat.html
She had purchased her door mat at target.  Then she wrote the words and heart on.

 I had these awesome rooster rugs lying around.  I purchased them from the dollar store a while back
 I cut some white fabric and mod podged it over the rooster ( to act as a primer)
 I cut and mod podged burlap over top of the fabric layer.  I used the iron on low to smooth out wrinkles.  I forgot to take pictures of the next step.  I cut a freezer paper stencil on the silhouette machine.  I ironed it on.  Then sponge painted.
Here is my finished rug.  Sorry it's sideways. I couldn't get the picture to turn:(

wooden disc earrings


My inspiration for these earrings came from http://www.the36thavenue.com/2013/12/diy-coasters-tutorial.html.  She made wood coasters.  I loved the patterns and designs she used and thought they would make great earrings.
 I purchased a pack of wooden disc's from Michaels.  

I stained most of the disc's

 I used contact paper to make my design here.  I also cut templates on my silhouette machine
 She had spray painted her coasters.  I chose to use nail polish.  the color's are endless
Here are a few other designs
