hooks

I only have one child in school, but we already have the backpack problem. I am hoping(I won't hold my breath) that with a place to hang the backpacks it will get better. At least I will have a place to put them.

I found these hooks at JoAnns and after my coupon it was about $5. The rest was pretty simple. I took off the hardware, painted it, distressed it, put the hardware back on, then added the vinyl branch and birds. I cut the vinyl with my Cricut using the Serenade Cartridge.

It makes me happy.

Another Frame

I love when people find old windows and use them in there homes. I haven't been lucky enough to come across anything like that yet. It was that type of look or feeling I was thinking of when I did this project.

I had this wreath. But it looked so plain and lonley when I would try to hang it anywhere. So when I found this frame in my closet I had an idea. The glass had broken in the last move so it was just waiting for something new. I painted it black, distressed it a bit, stained it, and used a piced of scrap fabric to hang the wreath from the frame. I think it would have been adorable in an off shade of white, but my walls are already so white I went for the black.

Adorable Heart Quilt

So I was just at U Create going through the last couple weeks of posts when I saw this beautiful quilt. I had to do a post so I could remember where it was so I can go back and make one. I love the colors!

Easter Egg & Mod Podge

I haven't been on the ball with my Easter Crafting this year so I thought I would revisit a craft I made last year.

Something unique about this project is the stitching around the edges. After I cut my paper and used a little tape to get the paper to stay in place I used my sewing maching and free handed the wavey lines. Then I used Mod Podge to glue it to the wooden egg I found at JoAnns. Added the ribbon and flowers and done!

I love Mod Podge!

And I am not the only one...Have you ever been to Mod Podge Rocks?
