American Beauty Quilt



Finnally got this quilt finished. I'm wishing I'd put the bright pink stars at the sashing intersections. Maybe I will applique some on.

Shelf for the Motorhome


This was a fun project. I couldn't find any pine bough clip art I liked, so I cut some thin brown vinyl for the stem and then cut out a whole bunch of green parentheses and stuck them on for the needles. Then I found a pine cone I converted to SVG and I'm loving the finished product. Now I have to find the perfect something to go on the shelves. Saw some fabric pine trees I may use, a picture frame of twigs, etc.

Picture Frame

Found one of those curved glass frames at the dollar store, modpodged some lace around the picture part and added some flowers from the
scrapbook store and voila, a cute frame. The lace
was about $2.50, so it is a very inexpensive
project!

Wacky picture frame


I can't decide how I feel about this picture frame. I downloaded an SVG file from The Little Hut, cut it out of vinyl on my cricut and put it on this frame. I'm struggling with what kind of picture would fit with this motif.

Valentine Candy Dish


I was reading about modpodging lace on vases and went to the closet to see what I had that I could use for this process. Found my bargain Valentine decoration (thrift store candlestick, 50% off Valentine dish). I used Elmer's glue to attach the lace and am quite pleased on how this turned out. I got glue all over, but it dried clear. I can see these at a wedding or shower as well.

Desk Accessory



This 4X6 box is the perfect piece to put on a desk. The top portion is perfect for pens, pencils, markers, etc., and there is a movable divider piece to accommodate different sized objects. The bottom portion is perfect for 4x6 cards - recipe cards would work well too. The best part is that it rotates - you can almost see the round piece on the bottom that serves as the base so it can revolve.
