Burlap Christmas Stockings

If you remember, in the beginning I really wasn’t a fan of burlap … I thought it looked kinda hokey (and white trashy).  However, now that I have worked with it a few times, I have grown to love it.  I knew I wanted to try out some burlap stockings for this Christmas season.  I am lovin’ how they turned out; the leopard with the  burlap looks super snazzy.  Also, I am wanting to possibly add some freezer paper stenciling to them.  Maybe a big monogram?!  They need “something” just not sure what …

High School Reunion Vases

Last month I was asked to make about 10 table centerpieces for my high school reunion. Of course, I said yes!  Our colors were black and red & our mascot was the falcon.  I knew I wanted to use some of those big feathers in the arrangements.  I my mind, I wanted to use about 6-10 for each arrangement, but I just couldn’t get the arrangement to look “right” … So I went with just one feather per arrangement and staggered them at different heights.  (I almost had a craft “fail” ….)

Made For Others …

I am always thrilled to get pictures from my customers, showcasing the items that I’ve made.  So here are a few …

Fall Table Runner and Decor

Back in the summer I spotted some super fabulous fabric at Joanns’s and I knew it would be perfect for a fall table runner.  Ever since, I have been anxious to put it on the table.  I am in love with this fabric! Over the past month, I have been so busy that I almost didn't even get a chance to put out my fall décor.  Every year I try to make at least one super nice home décor item … this year, it was the table runner.  Swoon ….

The pumpkin topiary, ribbon pumpkins, and my fall table decoration are my favorites.

Halloween Baby Food Jars

I am a bloggin' bum!! I have been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to sit down and blog. This holiday season is definitely going to be a busy one.  This weekend and I am going to try to organize all of my pictures and get some blog posts going on.  I know Halloween has come and gone but here are some treat jars that I made.

I started with a few baby food jars (original label removed) and black licorice; however, you can use any type of jar and candy.  I simply glued a piece of black cardstock to the top of the jar and then I hot glued some eyelash trim around the edge of the lid.  Add a Halloween label and BAM! You are done! Seriously, it was that easy!!  Literally, this project only took me about 10 minutes.  

I found my labels on the clearance last year, made by Martha Stewart.  However, you can still find something similar {HERE} at Joann’s or Michael's.  Even if you cannot find them on sale, they are still pretty cheap.  

I think this is a great Halloween treat idea for your child's classroom or even your coworkers. You can mix up this idea for any holiday.

Door Knob Décor: Halloween

While I was making cards, I had few extra door knob hangers left over from {THIS} project.  My Halloween creative juices where really flowing that day … I got a banner coming up too!  I made the door knob decorations similar to my {HALLOWEEN CARDS}  I am going to send these out to a few friends instead of a card.

My Mom is going to put this on her apothecary jar. Like she did {HERE}.

Super Fab Tassels: Texas Sized

My Aunt K & Aunt G came from Ohio to visit a few weeks ago.  Mom was telling me about these tassels they made and honestly, I was like yeah … yeah … yeah … I knew they would be awesome but I wasn’t expecting what she brought me.  Whoa! I was totally blown away!! These tassels are more than fabulous!! 

They used the instructions from Hobby Lobby {HERE}; however, they wanted their tassels to be “Texas Sized” & decided to use a water bottle as the middle of the tassel.  Once all of the fabric strips/ribbon were adhered, they added all kinds of junk jewelry, rolled flowers, or just whatever.  I can’t wait to make my own but I am lucky because Mom gave me the blue one.  What a great way to use up fabric scraps and any kind of other junk.

Notice the size?! My window is 5 feet tall! Definitely a “Texas Sized Tassel”

YES! That is doll hair!! Crazy right?! I still LOVE it!
