2 of the 3 Blessings

Here is a layout I did today of 2 of the 3 blessings that God has blessed my husband and I with. This is our oldest and our middle child. We were in College Station that weekend for parent weekend and had a great visit with our Aggie. We are so proud of him for all his accomplishments.

Anthropologie Inspired

I made these curtains for my room redo. I just love the way they turned out. I got the idea for the curtains from Anthropologie they sale some just like these for a grand price of $168.00. Mine cost under $20.00. What a bargain.

I have always had a love for old keys and wanted to incorporate them some how in my room redo. I bought this frame at Hobby Lobby and decided I would decorate it with some old keys and burlap. I added a little bird that my sweet friend Tracy gave me. Believe it or not the bird was white with hardly any tail feathers I sprayed it brown with glimmer mist and added a few feathers to her tail I love the way she turned out. What do you think?

Pillow Talk

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Remember these??

Well I have finally pulled one of them out of the garage and added a burlap wreath to it, and it will hang in my sons bedroom. I am redoing his room and making a guest bedroom. He went off to college 3 years ago and it has taken me this long to adjust to the fact he has grown up and will just use the room to visit. I am so proud of him and his journey.

I have painted his room and his dresser, hung some curtains that I made, sewed some pillows and I am now on the hunt for bedding.

Hope you are enjoying your journey!!

A Little something

Here is a little wreath that I have made

to go in my vintage room I am working on.

I started out with a wire circle. Cut some scraps

of burlap, muslin and cheese cloth and tied it

onto the wire. I then added a flower made from

burlap, made a lollie to go in the center of the flower

added a bling and their

you have it a fun little wreath.

I know Christmas is over but,

I was asked to post some close ups of the stockings that I made. Hope you Enjoy!!!

(click on pics to enlarge)

Tracy and I had a great time sewing these it took me a bit longer on mine I just couldn't figure out what I wanted. I made two others decided to scratch those and changed the plan and this is what we came up with. Not one of these is the same. I used burlap with a felt topper. The doilies where all hand crochet by my mother, I found the trim online and at different antique stores. The ornaments came from Hobby Lobby and Cracker Barrel. I love the way they turned out. My sister loved them so much I am now making a set for her. Fun stuff!!!
