More Goofy Stuff

Does anyone out there remember when this kitty with the red shoes was so popular? Back in the day, I bought a bed sheet with the intention of using it for crafting one day. I never used it as a sheet, BTW. : )

Here's one of the ideas I came up with. I'm looking forward to using it for more fun creations.


This necklace below, was an experiment. I decoupaged pieces of a map onto this round sphere. Both items are sitting in my Shop if you have a need for one.


And remember..."You're never too old to do [or make] goofy stuff"! : )

Faux Flower Trick

I'm always jealous when I roam around Blogland and see everyone's fresh flowers sitting in their Mason jars. So I thought I'd cheat a little with these "silkies"...... add water ...... and pretend. : )





I have a few of these in the Shop in case you need one.
I hope you're having a good weekend!

P.S. Did you notice the changes to my Header?I couldn't leave "well enough alone"!Shocker!! :-D

Wedding Shower=Apron + PW Cookbook

One of our friends got married recently. So another friend and I decided to make her an apron to go along with the Pioneer Woman Cookbook.

Here's the cute pattern we used.
Completely reversible. : )

Also, I finally got down to Ikea this week to pick up one of these lovely little numbers I've been seeing in Blogland.
Why is this pale blue enamel Soooooooo irresistible??

Couldn't resist. :-D

Heather Bailey Pincushion

Another project down. Yea!!!

Over a year ago I bought this Heather Bailey apple kit. I finally decided to tackle it.


Also...new Tweets in the Shop. : )









Happy Saturday! : )

I LOVE Summertime!!!!!

Last Summer I bought these two "dressing tent" boxes from Lori Mitchell. Beautiful photo (below) taken by my daughter, Sara.
This Summer I decided to order two of Lori Mitchell's figurines to go with them, after seeing them on Viv's Blog. Hi, Viv! : )

A Tutorial Re-Post, because...

because I'm in the middle of making another Bird Wedding-Cake-Topper and you've seen WAY too many photos of those.
Nothing else exciting is going on here this week, so......
A Blast From the Past:


I'm just going show you my steps in photo-form because I had no instructions. I Just made it up as I went.



I used my Tim Holtz disc for the picture of the little girl. I just printed her off.
The strings holding up the cloud and moon went up and through the cardboard above, then I taped them down on top. I distressed the paper a bit and added stamps and postmark stickers.
Christmas earrings I got for 75% at Target after the holidays. I knew I would use them in my crafting.





Below, a very sloppy job of Mod Podge and tissue paper on the back, but it sure was a fast way to cover everything.
Clear as mud? This project took a LONG time, but I enjoyed it. Let me know if you try it too. Have a good weekend.
