Happy Campers

For this sign I used a 9x12 canvas I got at Craft Warehouse. I painted the background with light green watercolor, cut out the letters and the pine tree on my Cricut. I created the campfire by cutting out a bunch of brown logs out of vinyl, then the flames in orange and yellow and added some wispy black smoke--all vinyl.

Holiday Bazaar

I decided to host a holiday bazaar in my living room to try to earn some Christmas money. Lots of bags were there (no, not what you're thinking).
Quilts, wallhangings, little girls aprons.
More quilts, thank you Santa plate, 2 pillow case dresses.
Yo yo wreath, handled tin with scrapbook paper, etc. etc. (I can't bring myself to describe each thing.)
Knick knack shelves, doll bed.
Dry erase boards or wall hangings...take your pick.
More dry erase boards. Wish I could say I made the warm winter welcome sign.
Frames, etc.
This was a sample of the several signs we put up.
A thrift store nightstand shabby chiced.
Close up of the bags.
Supposed to put a picture behind the plastic, but put scrapbook paper and used as a dry erase board.
Thrift store dolls cleaned up and put in new clothes.

Play kitchen redo

A thrift store end table redone into a play kitchen. Took off the front cupboard doors and added the ruffle piece. Went to the ReStore and got the burners, knobs, and faucet. The sink is just a plastic tupperware bowl. Added the board to the back and thanked my husband for cutting out the window. Put a scenic picture behind it and added the valence. As I look at it now, though, I am going to redo it in one of the fabrics in the ruffle. A coat of yellow paint finished it off.

Ruffled purses

Found this pattern on Pinterest. I made the smaller one to practice and made the larger one for my daughter in nursing school. I enlarged the smaller pattern by 1/4 to get the bigger size. The ruffles between the band and gathered portion add an element that makes this a favorite. I changed the handles so you could put this over your shoulder.

Onesies for shower gift

Lace, yo yos and appliqued cupcake with button accents. Easy and quick gift.

Pumpkin seed turkey

I had the kids all bring in pumpkin seeds from carving their pumpkins. I put them in bowls, squirted some tempera paint in and stirred them around. I was wishing I had spray painted them. I think the paint would have adhered better, but this method wasn't bad and was cheap.

Having fun with my cricut this weekend. Everything on the pumpkins was done with the cricut. The picture frame/dry erase board was 75 cents at a garage sale (price tag on back said $19.95). I think a family picture in place of the flower at the bottom would look great.

Having a 5 favorites party at school motivated me to make these "dry erase boards". Found some frames at the thrift store, made some rosettes and backed them with scrapbook paper or fabric. They were a big hit.
