<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
Deco mesh?! I just don’t know how I feel about deco mesh and I’ve been super hesitant to use it. Mainly because of the cost … I think it is fairly inexpensive but I feel like you have to have a lot of it to make a “statement”; thus driving the cost of the project up. I’ve seen tons of awesome wreaths made out of deco mesh, and figured I should at least give it a shot. Last year, for the 4th of July, I went ahead and made this one.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
I feel like my wreath is only “okay” … I think my wire wreath form was way too big and I was hesitant to make big loops with the deco mesh to offset the size of the wire form. Also, I really don’t like the white flowers, it’s too plain in that area; maybe this year I can add a small sign or something to fill it in.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">For years I have been eyeballing the egg wreath at Joann’s Fabrics (Probably since college! Ha!). Every year during Easter, it comes back out and I never end up buying it. The traditional and Earthy look of the wreath is totally my style; however I could never bring myself to buy it. I always felt like it was just a wee bit to much (even on sale) and by the time the Easter stuff was more than 60% off, they would be sold out. Two years ago, I finally decided to make my own. So glad I did! Mine turned out a million times better and probably a little cheaper too!</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I said, I made this TWO years ago and I am just now bloggin’ about it … I am so lame! Haha! After I made this, when plastic Easter eggs went on sale, I stocked up … For some reason I probably have (35) 1 dz packages of eggs!! Looks like I need to make a wreath for everyone I know! </div>
</div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I purchased a simple green wreath form at Hobby Lobby. I hot glued the plastic eggs to the wreath form. I started adding eggs to the inside of the circle first, then skipped to the outside. I wanted to make sure that I kept the “round” shape of the wreath, then I filled in the rest of the wreath. The filler eggs were glued on a little less “perfect”. (I did NOT put eggs on the back of the wreath form, only the back and the sides.) Once all of the eggs are glued on, I spray painted the eggs, the wreath form … the whole thing. Of course, some of the darker colored eggs take a little bit more paint than the others; so if you think about it just buy white plastic eggs (they’re usually the same price anyway.) It’s so much easier to hot glue the eggs and THEN paint. Do not try to paint your eggs before you hot glue them … trust me. Once everything is painted, just shove moss in-between the eggs with a little hot glue. I used the Spanish Moss from Dollar Tree … But I think it might have been cheaper to get the big bag at Hobby Lobby with a coupon. </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
I worked on two really big orders last year, oh wait ... it was the year before; I am just really slacking on my blog posts! Ha! … and I know you probably can’t tell that I have a lot of time wrapped up in these orders, but if you sew, you can probably imagine the amount of time I spent on these. Getting over 50 yards of fabric was a bit overwhelming! I wish the pictures where just a little bit better but it’s okay … you get the idea. If i lived back in Waco I would definitely be driving to this customers house. I've seen bits and pieces of this custom home and I am dying to see the inside of it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">
Both of these rooms are for two little girls who share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom. The Mom wanted these rooms to coordinate but not necessarily match. I loved getting to work with all of these fab fabrics! Joel Dewberry, Amy Butler and a few more. I made two duvet covers, tons of pillows, four sets of curtains, and two dust ruffles- all complete with custom ruffles. Did you see the ruffled shower curtain {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2013/12/ruffled-shower-curtain.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>}? Gahhh! It was sooo stinking cute!! The custom headboards and coronitas really complete the look.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Do you remember the fabulous pink, black and white damask baby bedding that I made a few years back? {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2012/05/pink-and-damask-crib-set.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>} That room was the most fabulous baby girl nursery that I have ever seen … and I just thought it couldn’t get any cuter. Well, the little girl has grown up and moved into her big girl bed … her Mom has over the top ideas and executed the design at a very professional level. Love working with her!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
I made the pillows, dust ruffle, and the overlay that goes at the bottom of the bed. I also made the table to the right of the bed; super simple - three legged table, Modge Podge fabric to the top, staple the “skirt” to the edge of the wooden top and then finish off with trim that is hot glued over the staples. Most of the pillow fabrics came from Hobby Lobby, and I really like how the pillows look against the simple white coverlet. Everything in this bedroom is absolutely adorable … the furniture, the gallery wall, the bedding … on and on … every detail is perfect. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned for baby girl number two … EEEEK! So excited about that room! </div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
I have recently become obsessed with the Virgin Mary and/or Lady Guadalupe. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am currently enrolled in RCIA classes to become Catholic. My fiancé is Catholic, and I am following suite with his denomination. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
I was browsing around Joann’s Fabric and I came across some semi decent Virgin Mary fabric … now that I have furthered my search, I don’t think there is ANY fabulous Mary fabric out there; or at least, nothing that I like … So, I improvised and cut around the actual Mary image. I used fusible webbing and sewed scrap pieces of fabric together to make a few pillows. I would have to say that they turned out pretty fabulous! I gave two of them away and kept one for our house. It fit perfectly on our vintage orange chair. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">While I was whackin’ and stackin’ on the Mary pillows, I had the idea to add a Mary to a simple tshirt that I purchased at Joann’s Fabrics. I am always wearing these solid tshirts around the house … you just can’t beat it for about $3 each. Sometimes I jazz em up … sometimes I don’t. </span></div>

We have five dogs, yes- FIVE. Mr Z has two dogs and I have three; now we are one big dog family! However, all five of them do not stay in the house; only the three small dogs that are under 20 pounds stay inside. The other two stay in the "non hobby shop" -- the "non hobby shop" will be a post for another day.</center>

We really don't use our front door very much; therefore I wanted to get a wreath on the back door that was welcoming without being as fussy as something on the front door. I kept mulling it over in my head and couldn't come up with anything until I spotted this simple grapevine wreath at Hobby Lobby (For some reason, I hadn't seen this wreath before). Hobby Lobby always comes to the rescue! That's why it is my favorite store! </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Not only simple-- but cheap too! Got the wreath at 40% off and the burlap ribbon was 40% off too! I think I made it for less than $30. Tied on a burlap bow and BOOM! - Done! </center>

Are you ready for Halloween?! I have my Halloween projects going on and I feel so ahead of that game, that I have decided to host a pumpkin carving party! Cute idea, right? Nothing major, just having a few people over to carve pumpkins and eat a few snacks.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Last year I purchased the EK Success pennant punch and I just HAD to use it on my Halloween cards. I am in love with this punch --- I want to put these little pennants on everything. The punch was great for the cards and turned out to be the perfect size.</center>

Last year, I didn't have a Halloween wreath .... What is wrong with me?! However, I do have one in the works for this year. Since I didn't have a Halloween wreath, I added a simple wooden bat and a simple sign to my existing wreath. ((I made that sign too ... Apparently, I never blogged about it?! Oops!)) </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A dear friend of mine wanted to make a subway art sign for each of her daughters; however, they are both so outgoing and talented, that she didn’t want to limit the subway art to just one idea - such as {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2013/01/red-sox-subway-art.html" target="_blank">RED SOX</a></b>} {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2012/01/texas-subway-art.html" target="_blank">TEXAS A&M</a></b>} or {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2013/01/jesus-subway-art.html" target="_blank">JESUS</a></b>} …. She wanted something a little more hip, fun and personalized. I suggested that we put words together that relate with each one of their personalities. Turned out great, right?! Such a sweet gift to give to a daughter and an awesome gift to receive from your Mom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I already have a few new subway signs in the making for Christmas gifts this year! They are going to be fabulous! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remember the fabulous {<b><a href="http://theautocrathaley.blogspot.com/2013/07/burlap-and-grapevine-wreath.html" target="_blank">BURLAP AND GRAPEVINE WREATH</a></b>} that I made?! I brought it to Houston, hung it on the front door and it just didn’t look as good. Ugh. I am super bummed because I loved that wreath. The flowers and the door are basically the same color; therefore, there isn’t any contrast. Also, the storm door really messes up the<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22px; text-align: start;"> æsthetics</span> of the front door; I am not liking this storm door at all. I have plans to remove it and replace the front the door and/or paint it ... that's another day! I recycled some of the foliage and continued to use burlap base. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahhh! The Fightin' Texas Aggie football season has officially kicked off! It's only appropriate that I blog about these fun pillows! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each year I make (or buy) all of my best friends the same gift for Christmas — well pretty much the same, sometimes there is a little variation. This past year I decided to try my hand at a freezer paper stencil. I stenciled on some burlap and made a few throw pillows. {<b><a href="http://www.danamadeit.com/2008/07/tutorial-freezer-paper-stencil-makenna-loves-goldfish.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>} is a good tutorial for the freezer paper stencil. As you probably already know, I am a graduate of {<b><a href="http://www.tamu.edu/" target="_blank">TEXAS A&M</a></b>} and so are most of my friends. Therefore, it only made sense to use Aggie related words on these cute little pillows. As you an can see from the photos, I have two friends who root for the “other” Texas school. Haha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These pillows can be used outside or inside, depending on each persons decor. Cute, cheap, quick and easy! Pretty inexpensive to send in the mail too. I made 7 in all. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am the kind of person that likes to “kill two birds with one stone” … ALWAYS. Even right now, I am organizing pictures and bloggin’ while Mr. Z is driving to Louisiana. I gotta make the trip anyway, so I might as well do something productive during this down time. If I am just visiting with friends or watching TV, I feel like I can be doing something with my hands; otherwise, I have a tendency to get bored. Cutting out felt letters is perfect for my busy hands. It’s totally “mindless”. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I want to take up needlepoint for car rides. Both of our families live on the other side of town, which is approximately 45 minutes one way. I feel like I could get a lot done in that time. I could have a "crafting to go" bag! </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this project --- I chose a letter that was big enough to sew around. I created a simple pattern by printing out letters, cutting them out and then tracing onto the felt. Then, I placed the felt letters on the fabric and dotted a few drops of hot glue on the felt to hold in place. I didn’t want to use a million pins and I wanted to make sure the letters stayed exactly where I wanted them- hot glue does the trick! I used the felt letters to make a cute vertical banner for my aunt and a pillow for my Grandmother. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Felt is cheap and I used fabric that I already had on hand.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found this idea at the Round Top Antiques Fair. Of course, they were a little too pricey for me to be able to purchase four of them (two per set); however, I knew could go home and make these. That’s exactly what I did- and I pretty much knocked it out of the park! I found a tutorial {<b><a href="http://mixedkreations.com/blog/2013/08/turquoise-wood-cross-tutorial/" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>} that shows how to put the wood together. This project didn’t cost me too much since my Mom already had the 4x4 posts; and I didn't have to pay her for them--whhhaaaa?! Yes! The metal crosses were purchased at Hobby Lobby (on sale, of course) and I got the metal flowers at the Round Top Antiques Fair for just a few dollars.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I gave these away as Christmas gifts, they are durable enough to be outside and pretty enough to be inside. I really should make a set for our fireplace. Oh the never ending crafting to do list …. </span></div>

My second project after moving to Houston, was creating some simple window treatments for the windows in our living room. In my last home, I had brown curtains in EVERY SINGLE ROOM! Why?! I really like the color brown. As I said in my previous post, Mr Z and I are completely opposite. He loves bright fun colors and I like to "play it safe" with neutrals. Picking out this fabric was quite the experience .... </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
We got the fabric at the Joann's and I whipped up a simple curtain valance. The valance is held by those metal rings and clips. I added a simple blue border at the bottom for a simple finishing touch.</center>

Gahhhh!!! I almost forgot! I did a little "re-do"the armoire too! I could have sworn that I had a before, the before picture. Mrs. Rooster actually had this armoire and she painted it black-- I thought there was a blog post on it ... Guess not. I purchased it from her before moving to Houston and then, I roughed it up a bit. I am loving it. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Where do I even start?! As you might have noticed, my blogging was pretty scarce in 2013. This is due to the fact that I had quite a few baby bedding orders and I met this guy, Mr. Z. Aren't we just the cutest couple ever?! Ha!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He lived in Houston and I lived in Central Texas … three hours apart, so lots of traveling on the weekends and no time for crafting.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now we are at September 2014; what’s happened between Dec 2013 until now … Job transfer, decided to move to Houston, got a NEW job after the transfer, sold my house, and moved in with Mr. Z ... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Combining two full blown stocked homes is quite the chore. It has taken me very long time to sort through all of my things and to sort through every single item at Mr. Z’s house. It’s different when you are young and in love. Two people move in together and probably don’t have anything, there isn’t a debate over rather or not you will keep the free couch that Great Aunt Sally is getting rid of, cause you are just excited to HAVE a couch. Mr. Z and I both have things that are upgrades from college living, we both had an emotional attachment to the things that we purchased as adults and we both wanted to keep “my things”. Two toasters, two crock pots, two couches, four mattress sets, four brown leather chairs, two sets of dishes, a million cups, so on and so on …. However, we made it through. One giant garage sale, donated one truck load to a charity garage sale, two truck loads full of junk to Goodwill and a few late nights and arguments- it's all done! However, doing this task together has really taught each of us about the other persons “style” of handling different tasks. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it’s time for DIY and decorations, my favorite! Oh and let me mention- Mr. Z and I do NOT have the same taste; we are so opposite on so many levels. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the very first project that I tackled. We have plans for renovation, but I just had to swap this out for something inexpensive because the black and white tile was stained, dirty and hideous. I purchased the "nice" peal and stick at Lowe's. This project ended up costing me under $40. </span></div>

A few weekends ago, Mom and I were working on some Christmas gifts. We had the saws, paint, drill, wood glue and nails out- working away. Being as creative as we are, we never stay focused on the task at hand. Therefore, I whipped up this sign with some scrap wood and spay painted wooden letters from Hobby Lobby. It fits perfectly on the outside of my house and I made it just in time for Christmas. There was already an existing screw in the brick and it's located in just the right place. Doesn't the gold look great with the rustic wood?</div>

A good friend of mine asked if I would whip up a few stockings to match her Dr. Suess red and turquoise Christmas themed decor. I've created my own stocking pattern that I use time and time again. I was super satisfied with the way they turned out. I mixed and matched different fabrics so they're all the same but still different. </div>

I've been working on two bedroom sets for two little girls that have a Jack and Jill bathroom. The bedding sets are complete and we mixed fabric from each room to make the ruffled shower curtain. I can't wait for the home to be finished so I can get pictures of the two bedrooms and the bathroom. It's all going to be amazing!<br />

<justify><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I really enjoy sewing baby crib sets and all the accessories. Everyone always has different ideas, color combinations, and themes. I like seeing how the bedding that I make will look in each room. This room is very fabulous! This is one of my favorite baby rooms that I have had the opportunity to work with. The soon to be Mom had picked out just the right fabrics; fabrics that coordinated well but they aren't super "matchy-matchy" See the monkeys? Ummm yeah, the mother painted those FREE HANDED!</span></justify></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am so in love with the chalk board at my Mom's house. Her front porch is just the right size and the right layout to be able to have something like this, it's quite large. She took an old picture with an ornate frame, and added chalkboard paint right on top of the glass! Never even took the picture out! It looks absolutely fabulous! </span></div>
