FALL Banner

I got this table from my mother-in-law. She didn't want it and I needed something for my entry way so here it is. I put a few things on it but it needed something on the wall above it. I saw this idea on pinterest (of course) to make a banner. The one I saw said "Harvest" But since that is what is says on the table, I decided to go with FALL. I think it turned out pretty cute and it was so simple.
I love fall.

Wood flowers

Last time I was in SL I went to one of my favorite stores...the wood connection. I love that place. I always want to buy everything they have there. I bought this little kit that had these three wooden flowers so I just used some paint and mod podge with scrapbook paper and here you go. I love how they turned out.

Summer fun

I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was such a cute idea so I downloaded and printed me some subway art (at Costco) and then I took this ugly, metal frame that I had and painted it turquoise and there you have it. A summer decoration.

Vinyl

We have moved into a house with blank, white walls. Since any extra money has to go towards practical things like  buying a fridge and fixing the sprinklers in the back yard, my desire to decorate my entire house  has to be put on hold. I can, however, decorate with vinyl since I have my Silhouette! 

So I have gone a little vinyl happy :) Here is what I've done....

Airplanes and clouds on the wall above Nathan's bunk bed

On the wall of Blake's lower bunk I put 5 little monkey's (only 4 pictured) and some words saying "no more monkey's jumping on the bed". Since I put these up a few days ago, Blake has since taken down 1 1/2 monkey's and some of the words.

 These bottom two are just some vinyl I put on some canvas's that I had to hang in my bathroom. I have a turquoise curtain that my mom and I made last week...okay, really just my mom made it. I really didn't help much :) 

Clock Redo

For my wedding I received a really big wall clock. I really like how large this clock is and because of that I have proudly displayed this clock for the last 2 years. A few months ago, I caught myself looking at this clock and realizing how much I really don't love the face of the clock so I decided to paint the face and make it my own.

Clock After!

I am really happy with how this clock turned out. I was a little worried that after taking apart the clock that it wouldn't work properly but so far it is doing just fine!

Catch up!

I am so proud of Amanda for her craftiness and dedication to posting those crafts. I have finally decided it is time I join in on posting. Most of these projects were Christmas ones but I wanted to document them. So here I go.

Santa face 2011

 As I was looking through my Christmas decorations this last year, I noticed that I didn't have a Santa. I really wanted to do a Santa decoration of some kind so I headed over to The Wood Connection and found this Santa face! I really like how it turned out.  I love painting!

Stackable Christmas tree 2011

Thanks to Amanda, I also made a stackable Christmas tree!

Christmas Tree Skirt 2011

Although I didn't put a Christmas tree up this year, I really wanted to make sure I was ready in case I decided to do so. Here is my Christmas Tree Skirt! Thanks to my mom, I was able to make a very simple yet cute skirt for my tree. I even learned how to make ruffles!

Spring/Summer table topper

My mom came to visit this weekend and we had so much fun staying up late and sewing and this is one thing that we made (and by "we" I mean she) I'm so excited to put this on my table for this spring and summer.

We just bought some cute fabric and cut it into 5" squares, sewed them together, added a border and then sewed some flowers on top. Cute! Thanks mom!
