I've been working on making holiday wreaths for some upcoming craft fairs (details to come). These wreath's are so simple to make I thought I'd share them with you. I found some wicker wreaths at Goodwill and removed the old decorations some of them had. As you can see, I had some help! Then wrapped them with pretty ribbon and hot glued some new … [Read more...]
Rio Bird Costume, Little Bo Peep, and her Darling Sheep!
I'm a little behind, but here are some pics of costumes I made for Halloween- This feathery dress, complete with wings, to resemble the girl bird in the Disney movie 'Rio'.

To Toss or Not to Toss? What to do with a Ripped Poster
My son ripped the corner of a poster that was on his wall in his Mickey Mouse themed bedroom while jumping on the bed, which he's not supposed to be doing! But instead of throwing it out, I had the idea to modpodge it onto a blank canvas. With my son's help, we centered the part we wanted to see on the canvas and cut around it wide enough to … [Read more...]
New Old Rocking Chair
My rocking chair squeaked so loudly it kept everyone awake, which defeats the whole purpose! But the other day I found a lonely one sitting outside a neighbor's house waiting for some TLC. Thank you generous neighbors! I LOVE freebies! I adopted it & freecycled my old one (if you're not familiar, www.freecycle.org is an awesome Yahoo … [Read more...]
