I Can Do Hard Things

This was some sort of (why is this underlining?) weird tray I found at DI. It was a yucky brown . A little paint and some flowers and I think it is pretty cute.

Recipe Box Makeover


Recipe Box turned into a treasure box for my granddaughter. I love these thrift store finds.

RV Sign


This will look good in our RV right above the stove. I'm not sure I like the ribbon - I may replace it with rafia.

Subway Art Picture Frame


This was very time intensive (mainly because my Cricut isn't cutting like it should), but I think it turned out pretty cute. It would be a great baby gift. Guess I'll make one for a boy.

Storage Unit


I had to go over my $3 budget for this one - it was $4. I agonized over what to put on the other sides of each flower and finally decided that simple was best. I might have to keep this one.

This could be a toilet tissue holder, a plant holder, or whatever. I found it at the thrift store and couldn't resist it. I think plants in the top part with dish towels hanging on the bottom part would make a cute addition to a kitchen. The wheelbarrow is about the size of a small flower pot.

I cannot figure out how to turn this photo around, so use your imagination and view it right side up. It is a wooden cigar box transformed.

Having Fun With the Cricut


A plaque created with the cricut and about 3 hours of spare time. Good thing I'm off track. I'm not sure why I chose this phrase, and the more I read it, the less I like it. Oh well, too late now.

Curio Shelf


Project No. 2 - a $3 shelf from DI, a little paint and some flowers. The middle peg was missing, so I put a wooden plug in it and put a flower on it. I think I like it!

Doll Bed


So my new hobby is going to the thrift store, finding something wooden I can fix up and add vinyl accents to. Here's my first project. $3 for the bed, quilt free made with scraps. Just had to buy some pink and green vinyl for the stars and swirls.
