Inspired by another Blogger!

Sandra with Stone Creek Market made this adorable wood sign.

I absolutely love this sign... so simple and so adorable!

I love the colors and the ribbon is too cute!

This became inspiration for my next Valentine's Day project...

I made this sign... I love it! I think they are both just so cute!!!

This flower was inspired by the flower I used on my throw pillows!!!

Love the polka Dots! I made the flower, the same way as I made them for my pillows.

Go Here for the Tutorial!

Thank you Sandra for the inspiration!!!

Throw Pillow REWind!!

Remember this post...

I was talking about these cute little red pillow covers that I got at Target for $4.00 a piece. I said I was going to add something to them and now they are finished!!!

I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!

Here is the Before...

* After *

I love when your former "After" becomes the Before!! haha

I love Love LOVE how they turned out! I couldn't be happier with them!

Did you know that you could paint on acrylic flowers???

I used white acrylic paint and the end of the paintbrush.

How I made the flowers...

I took a bushel of flowers that I got at Hobby Lobby at 50% off!

I took apart the flowers

Restacked them on top of each other in the order I Love!

Even added my painted flower!

And a button of course!!!

I used a needle and thread and sewed the layers together first.

This is the back of the flower... I know it is not professional looking AT ALL! But no one sees the back anyway, so I always have a mess on the backside of the flowers.

I then took these sweet little pearls and sewed them in a swirly whimsical pattern by hand. I think this is by far my favorite part of the pillow!

The completed pillow up close and personal!!!

OOohh!! La La!

I still have these three pillows that need some recovering! I told you I am really trying to PHASE out that PURPLE!! I had a ton of it! I love what I am working on for these!! You will too!!!

My sweet little canisters...

Saturday I was on a roll... We went shopping. I found some of the SWEETEST Deals Ever. I was so excited. I found these little Bitties at Hobby Lobby.

The big one was only $5.46 and the two small ones were $3.40 a piece. It was just TOO good to pass up! $12.26 for three really pretty porcelain canisters. The big one has a chip on it, but with a little Elmers Glue, you can't even tell. Plus, I will put it to the back anyway. No Sweat!

I took that and turned it into this....

Three beautiful canisters to hold Doggie Treats, Flour and sugar... Oh joy!

With a little Ribbon and

Vinyl

and maybe some buttons...

Beauty!!!!!

I added this little puppy foot... I love the buttons. I think it is just a little something extra! I love it!

TIP: I only have the regular stick vinyl. So in order for the vinyl to stay on for years to come and last through washes, I just put a little dab of super glue on the backside of each of the letters.

This works.... the vinyl is not going anywhere.

I love it! Only $12.26 for these beauties...

Good Luck and Happy hunting!!!

Kiss Kiss... You just can't resist!

Okay, so this has become one of my favorite crafties of this year! I love it! I think it turned out sooooo cute! I cannot even believe that I made it.

I started with the KISS letters that I got from Hobby Lobby. They come in two packs for .99 cents a piece. I spray painted them red. I distressed the edges and added my embellishments.

Ribbon. The circles and rectangle words are just puffy stickers I got on a sheet from the Dollar Store a long time ago. Tooo cute!

I took the wire and wrapped it around a sharpie. Drilled holes in the base and just stuck a straight end into the base of the wood...

I love this so much... With the extra set of KISS letters I am going to make another one to sit on the one of the shelfs I have by my FAMILY frames!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am adding this to the...

Party

Live for Each Moment Loves Buttons...

Remember My To Do List... Well I saw this purtty little Button Garland from
Ballard Designs For a set of 3, it is $30.00 for 9' of garland!

I loved this... I LOVE BUTTONS!!! I am SO CHEAP though. I really could not justify spending $30.00 for a garland. Even though now that I have completed the projects, this really isn't so bad. But I figured that I could make the same for nothing. I chose red, green and white for my tree. I have a huge stockpile of buttons and already had the string so I went to work.

String it then tie the back to make it stay... REally Easy but time consuming!

It looks really cute on the tree. I will show you my Finished tree Very Soon!

It would be really cute as the top string for a "Merry Christmas Garland"

Ballard Design inspired ornaments

Remember this post... My To DO List
One down... Many more to do...
I saw these Ballard Design ornaments

So Pretty and so easy... I love them!
I copied them and made them my own for my tree! I went with a country flair and even made a Holly Leaf in the same design. Lurrves it!
These are Mine!

I just drew out the pattern by looking at the shape in the picture.

I cut them out with an exacto knife and then I put the pages of an old yellowed book on the cutouts.


Distressed it with brown ink... Add some buttons and raffia

And hang on the tree. These look super cute with my other ornaments I have adorning the tree. I will have to show you what it looks like soon.

Many more copying to be done... I will for sure show you all!
