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!

Spring Welcome Sign

I was driving down the road yesterday and this is what I saw! 

The skies were so blue, the clouds and the tops of the mountains so white, and it just looked like spring with the sun shining so bright!

I love that I live so close to the mountains and that I get to experience all 4 seasons! 

They are all so beautiful!

Well, after being outside a bit, I decided that I needed to start getting ready for Spring, so I thought that a welcome sign would be just the thing to get me started.  This sign is on my post that sits at the front door.

Fabric Monogram Wreath

I shared this project a couple of weeks ago over at “I Should Be Mopping the Floor”, but wanted to share it with all of my readers in case you missed it over there.

I have a super fun little project today.  It is this darling fabric monogram wreath just in time for your Halloween crafting and decorating!  This is sooo easy to make, but it looks like it took a great deal of time and effort!

Isn’t this just the cutest!!!!

Cupboard Makeover

I really enjoy doing furniture makeovers but I don’t do a lot of them because my house if full of furniture and I really don’t have room to put a lot more furniture pieces in my house.  But I have had this little cupboard for years and when I moved some things around this summer, I saw this cupboard in a whole new light and just had to do a little makeover on it!  This cupboard used to be in my scrapbook store and held all of our class samples in it, on it, and hanging from it, so it has been put to good use!   I also wanted to try my hand at making my own chalk paint, so this was a great excuse to try it out.

I am loving how it turned out:

Valentines Pillow Wrap

I have another pillow wrap for you today.

I love these wraps because they are such an easy way to decorate and a pillow can add so much to a room.  This is my Valentines version.  I love the colors with the touch of green added in the ruffle.  It goes perfect with my black pillow, so I did not need to make a new pillow,  just the wrap!

Christmas…Sew Cute!

Today I decided that I would show you some of my Christmas sewing projects from this year and from Christmases past.  I absolutely love the warmth of these homemade quilts and pillows.  They are so inviting on a cold winter’s night.  This collection is from things that I have made and some that are gifts that were made by wonderful friends!  It is good to have crafty friends!

Lucky Me!


I used to decorate for all the holidays when my children were little, but since they have all grown and moved out of the house, I do not do as much but I still have to decorate a little bit for the grand kids. St. Patrick’s day is not one that I usually do too much for.  But I decided that I could decorate my repurposed tray that sits on my kitchen counter.  This is what I came up with:

 I made these printables to share with you.  There is one cutsie one, and two modern ones.  You can just print them and frame it like I did here.
