Paint Station

2/18/2015

0 Comments

 
I bought this little wood garden planter at TJ Max.  It came with some herbs and material to make an indoor garden.  It had wire where the window frame is and had "Garden" painted on the front of the box.

I decided I really wanted to use it as a little paint station, so I took the wire off, added the Cori Dantini fabric, fixed up the front of the box with birds and such, and it was good to go!  Well, almost!  I added some paint bottles with colors I love, then a bottle that stores my brushes, scissors that I always need and 2 little glass jars that can hold water, modge podge, or whatever else I might use.

Custom Painted Tablecloths

I have been on a kick lately custom painting tablecloths and napkins.  I made the first set for my sister for Christmas.  The tablecloth has the name of their ranch, and the napkins have their last initial on them.

Then I made a set for my friend's birthday.

And today I started working on a set for our home.

I have been working on linen tablecloths and napkins.  I hope to get my set completed by this weekend.

I had a nice visit from Peggy, a friend from Wyoming.  She brought me the cutest little bag that she made from a Snap Happy pattern.  I wanted to share it because it is not only cute, but it's such a thoughtful gift!

All of these things were in my little bag!  It's perfect for the car, camper, or in the house.  I really love it.  Thank you Peggy!

Fab Finds of the Week!

2/6/2015

I found a chenille blanket at the antique store, and it is so pretty.  It had a stain on it but I bought it anyway because I want to make a patchwork quilt with soft muted colors of chenille.  I washed it and put a stain remover on the spot and...you guessed it....the stain came out.  Happy dance!!  Then I found this little embroidered linen bag.  I think it is so cute!  Love finds like this!!

Handmaids Fabric Giveaway!

2/4/2015

Do you remember this post I made about a trunk topper back in October?  My sister sent me this material and I thought it was so cute!  I even sent an email to the fabric makers saying how cute I thought the material was.  I got an email from them saying there was a fabric giveaway/Handmaids Challenge.  You create a postcard using their material.  If you go to joystudio.wordpress.com you can see if this challenge interests you.  I'm going to try it.  I've never signed up for something like this, but what the heck.  Are you in?  You can win material and you get a postcard in an exchange.  Just take a peek and see what you think!

Here is the trunk topper I made using the fabric.

Here is a bit of their challenge from the blog.  I hope it's ok to share it like this!  It's nice to have an idea about the challenge.
