Baby gift

This was a rushed project that practically pushed all the othera a month out lol. Babies come when they want :) The front and back are baby fleece and I lined the center with quilting batting to give it some substance. I didn't take step by step pics because I was in such a rush, got these done in an hour.

Feature: This, That & The Other Home Furniture/Decor

My sister recently opened up shop and I wanted to share her home furniture with you! She has more projects coming up. She does quality refinishing and trust me, you won't be disappointed! She'll have a blog up soon, but if you are friends with Bea Levatau on FB you can check her out there. If you want a quote, hit me up!

Love the black and the distressed edges

Perfect for any little girl. Beautifully refinished!

You don't even know! I am dying, like literally dying to get my hands on one of these babies! I've been dropping hints for months and those have not worked. So now I have entered to win this beautiful machine that now cuts fabric!!! Oh the things I could do! haha. So if I don't win, at least the hubs will get the idea right??!! I mean it's only on my Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, shesh, I'll add it to my MySpace, Bebo, Tumbler whatever you ask, I'll do lol! (I really don't have ALL those social networking accounts, but close enough!) *fingers, toes and eyes crossed*

Bead Ring

Have you ever come across a bead, broach, or old earring and thought, hmmm "that would make a cute ring!" I do that ALL the time, sometimes, it gets a little obsessive. But why not! It's making your own accessories! That's what jewelers do! I am in no way a jeweler, I do do all that sauntering and am not nearly as talented! So the next project is a simple way to make your own fashion rings.

Started out with a some beads, wire clippers, and a file.

Don't forget the glue!

Bead and a ring blank

Glue and let it set!

These were given as gifts and my sister and I searched everywhere(not really) for ring boxes and could not find any. So we bought these boxes from Roberts.

But wanted the rings to "stand" rather than just lie in the box. So I drew up a template and cut it out of card stock.

Then scored the edges Cut a slit for the ring and insert into the box.

And here is the finished ring and box.

I'm baaaaaack!!

Wow, it's been some time since I have posted! Forgive me for neglecting this blog. Here's a post that will hopefully hold me over til I get my to do list going. I ordered my vinyl from my favorite lady, Sisilia over at Silly Vinyl Design she's my go to gal when it comes to vinyl. Trust me, she will not disappoint!

I started with a mirror that I purchased as Deseret Industries for .50 cents!

And applied the vinyl. Wah lah!

Here it is in it's place.
