Today I have a couple of fun projects just in time for your 4th of July decorating! I am going to show you how to make sisal balls in any color or size and a matching Americana jar to complete a little vignette!

Americana Pillow from a Tote Bag!
When my friend and I went shopping a week or so ago we found these cute Americana tote bags that have the Declaration of Independence on it…as soon as I saw it, I knew that it would make a darling pillow.
Decorative Wire Frame
One of my DIL’s bought some cute wired frames for her house and she brought them over and we fixed them up with some fun fabric to make it match the room that they are going in! It was such an easy way to customize these cute frames!
Summer Porch
My granddaughter helped me put out all of my summer decorations yesterday. It is so nice to have a little helper! :) She loves to do this and I love to have her help!
Farmer’s Market Sign
I hope that you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! We went up to our cabin and also to our hunting property. We have built an irrigation pond and are anxiously waiting for it to fill up! They have planted a few fish in there, so the grandkids are already loving it!
I also went to Poppyseed Projects to get a summer board, and came home with this darling print instead! All I had to do to make this sign was to paint the board black, Mod Podge the print to the board and then add the texture cream to the front of the plaque! So easy!
Fabric Covered Pot and Plant Picks
I have a fun post that I shared over at I Should Be Mopping The Floor a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share it with you today!
This project is one that could be used for several different occasions such as Birthdays, Teacher Appreciation, Graduation, Baby or Wedding Showers , Just Because, or just for a cute Thank You gift! It is a cute spin on an old project!
New Outdoor Pillows
I have been working out in my yard trying to get everything cleaned up and getting all of my pots and flowers planted. I like to spend most of my evenings out in my yard, so I enjoy having a “room” outside on my patio.
I like to have new pillows for this room, but outdoor pillows and cushions are quite expensive…so I usually just recover the ones I have!
Strawberry Tablecloth
I have been tending grandkids for 9 straight days and I am totally worn out! I guess that is why you have your children when you are young, so that you can kind of keep up with them! :) They have been really good kids, but I am exhausted. We went to the park, had picnics, went to our cabin overnight, had our Easter party, went to another Easter party, learned how to do a rainbow loom…made lots of bracelets, went shopping, went to church and I carpooled kids from school! Oh and we also watched after 3 birds! I forgot how much time and ENERGY it takes to keep up with little kids! So my praise goes out to all of you that are raising small children…keep up the great job!
Needless to say, I have not done many projects this last week, but I do have one very simple sewing project for you today:
How To Plant a Birdcage
Today I am here with a really fun project for spring. I am going to show you how to plant a birdcage! I love to plant pots and planters and I look for fun unique planters all year long. This birdcage is just from Michael’s so it was an easy find, but you can use old buckets, watering cans, old coal buckets, or just about anything that will hold dirt! You just have be sure there are holes in the bottom for the drainage. So rusted out buckets are great! :)
All of the plants that I used in this planter are perennials, so they are really okay for me to put this outside, here in Utah! If you are using annuals, you will want to keep your planter indoors until the weather is warm all of the time, unless of course, you already live where it is warm!
Patchwork Bunnies–Prissy & Pete!
Oh my Goodness, Oh my Goodness!
I would like to introduce the two newest members of my family!
