My favorites around the house

Here are some of my favorite projects I have made that can be found around the house. I realized when I was doing this post that I have got to learn to take better pictures. The lighting just doesn't do some of them justice, but I will show them anyways.

This is probably my favorite one. These family blocks are so easy and fast, so I have made quite a few of these. They also make great gifts.

This was a project I worked on with my sister.

It originally was suppose to have handles on each side and be used as a serving tray, but I like it better without. http://livingwithlindsay.com/2009/07/old-cabinet-door-turned-serving-tray.html

So it sits on top of my cabinets in the kitchen. It is door to a cabinet that I painted blue. The rest of it is scrapbook paper that was then Mod Podged.

This one took a while since each piece of paper and color is a separate layer and had to be cut out and glued on one at a time. This project was before I had my Cricut!!

This is the back of the board

I made these little flowers out of some material and glued a button in the middle. I use them to cover up the nails that hold my pictures. I put double sided sticky Velcro on the top of the nail and then on the back of the flower. They are much prettier to look at then a nail, don't you agree?

When my third child was born I wanted to paint something on the wall. So knowing I am not an artist, I had to settle with finding these little animals at Micheal's and gluing them to the wall. I did paint the sun and the letters that spell his name. Oh, and the grass that is there if you look real hard.

This is a cork bulletin board that I covered with fabric and then lined the edges with two different colored ribbons to match. I spray painted the frame black and put a ribbon on the back to hang it up. It holds pictures of my Husband and I from over the years.

I make all my daughters bows. I keep them small and simple since her hair is fine and not to long. I took an old picture board and recovered it with some extra fabric I had and added the ribbons horizontally instead of criss crossing them. I feel like I can get more on there this way.

These are my favorites out of all the bows I have made.

I couldn't leave my laundry room out, so I made a little sign that hangs above my machines.

This is vinyl I cut from my Cricut using the Home Decor cartridge. They are in my kitchen next to the arch.

Instead of having welcome on the front door, I saw a friends door that said hello and I loved it. So I just had to put one on mine!
