Velcro Window Treatments

A few weeks ago I went to visit my BFF, Mrs. S, in Oklahoma.  Recently Mrs. S purchased her first home and they have done an amazing job at a renovating and decorating.  Mrs. S made these curtains and I then I helped her revamp them a little bit.  Originally, they were too short and I added the brown fabric for her.  

Can you believe that the curtains are attached with Velcro?! Mrs. S used sticky back Velcro that she added right to the front of the mini blind.  Brilliant idea!  Check out her DYI light!!

I am in love with this table and the feeling of this space is perfect. It’s warm and cozy; you could sit here for hours and talk with friends … Which is exactly what we did all weekend!  I made this table runner for Mrs. S while she worked on a different project. (Will be showing that tomorrow.)

More Mini Valentine’s Day Mailboxes

This is the last of my Valentine's Day projects ... Some friends of mine liked the first mini mailbox {HERE}, so much that they asked me to make a few for their kids.  I thought I was going to have a hard time making the ones for the boys, but actually they turned out better than what I thought.  I don’t think they are too “girly”.

Recycled Valentine’s

I recycled these glass food jars into Valentine’s treats.  The glass jars are filled with candy and then I added scrapbooking paper & embellishments to the outside.  Cheap & easy!  My kind of project!

Also, I like to recycle containers such as this cardboard like container that had hot cocoa in it.  Clean it out, add some paper, and then add wire for a handle.  Fill with tissue paper and candy.

Valentines Day Boxes

I found these little favor boxes on the clearance rack at Michael's a few years ago.  I didn’t know what I was going to do with them at the time but since they were red, I knew I could use them for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.  I was able use them for the women’s meeting at our church. 

I added a little ribbon with a scallop cut from my Cricut.  The image of the quote is from Crafts and Sutch, {HERE}.  I scaled down the image and then used my circle punch to cut it out.

Texas A&M Subway Art

I have really been wanting to make subway art for quite sometime but if I was going to make subway art, I wanted it to be very original.  When I found out that Mrs P was going to do Baby P’s nursery in a Texas A&M theme, I knew a piece of subway art was going to be perfect for his room. 

I purchased a piece of 12” x 4’ wood, spray painted it, and then rubbed the edges with a StazOn ink pad.  I ordered vinyl from Shannon over at {Grunged, Glittered, n’ Branded}.  If your are looking for a vinyl person, Shannon is your woman! I have placed several orders with her and she has been wonderful to work with!

Texas A&M Crib Bedding and Shower Decor

Remember the TAMU baby gear I showed you {HERE} …. Below is the crib blanket, dust ruffle, pillow covers, and bobby cover that I made for Mrs. P (she did not want bumper pads).  I am more than thrilled about the outcome of these items!  Mr & Mrs P loved everything too!

Valentine’s Day Banner

I made this banner and I am really not satisfied with it … Yeah, it’s cute but it’s just kinda "blah".  I am pretty sure that I am going to recycle it next year.  I wish I would have used red letters for a better impact.  Although, it hangs nicely on my back door.
