Welcome to my blog.

Crafting and making things has become a hobby for me and I am by no means a professional. If you see something you like, make it too. Just leave me a comment and let me know how it went.

Happy Crafting!

Another project done!!

Well, I finally finished this thing!

BEFORE:



AFTER:



It fits nicely right by my craft table. I love the way it turned out!

I painted it black and then distressed it. I thought about distressing the knobs, but I ended up liking them untouched better.
Normally something this small wouldn't take me so long to do, but I redid it and just let it sit for awhile. Once I came back to it, I loved the results.

I can't stay focused

I have been a slacker lately. I have a million projects going right now and can't seem to get one done. I work on one here and there and before finishing, I start another one. The curse of a busy brain I guess.

Good news, I finished one project!! Woo Hoo!

We were just using one of the walls in the kitchen but since I repainted my kitchen, those measurements are gone. So I decided to make something that wouldn't get painted over in the future and something that could go with us if we ever moved. I have seen different ideas here and there on the Internet and this is what I came up with.

The black is vinyl done on my circuit and then I decided I had a million hours in the world and hand cut each of those little lines from vinyl.

Hair bows

I found some ribbon that I LOVE at Hobby Lobby and took a little time off from my painting project to make some new bows for my daughter. She has always called them pretties instead of bows, so here are her new pretties:



They aren't fancy and kind of plain, but this way they can match a lot of different outfits. I usually make a bow for a specific shirt but this time I just wanted to make something that I could use more often.
