I'm calling this my accidental Santa pillow. Yup, I never intended to make a pillow yesterday. I was working on some decorative bowl filler sacks using some vintage fabric. I got this great ticking from Etsy earlier in the week from one of my favorite shops - Kitteridge Mercantile. Anywho, I had this long piece and after I had sewed the sides and bottom, I realized it was too long for a sack. Long...
I'm so enamored with religious pictures and pieces these days. It's definitely reflected in some of these random projects I've been working on. This one was inspired by Rhonda from Little Bit French. She made the prettiest French journals last week that I just couldn't stop myself from pinning all over Pinterest. I actually found the religious image on Pinterest after my sister (Kathy from Creative Home Expressions) had pinned it. It's just so lovely. I've used...
I finally got around to Goodwill this morning. Not exactly a banner day for me. I feel like I need a t-shirt that says I went to Goodwill and all I got was this: Chess set and little metal urn. I had my eye on a set of shabby chic plates but they wanted $14.99 for the set - a little more than I was looking to spend. The chess is for my boys. And...

Dollar Store Reindeers + Cyber Monday Code

And as we're decorating for Xmas, nothing like the smell of... Warm cinnamon! We break up cinnamon sticks, add water and boil until the house smells wonderful! And speaking of wonderful, I've started my Etsy Cyber Monday...
I picked up this little table a week ago from a garage sale. I gave it a quick makeover using some Annie Sloan chalk paint and a French graphic I bought from Etsy some time ago. I gave it two coats of ASCP on Sunday when it was semi-warm out. Yesterday morning, I took my reversed image and Mod Podged it to the top. Eight hours later, I used a wet paper towel to remove...

Upcycled Garage Sale Candleholder
*Don't forget to enter my giveaway here!* I picked up this little candleholder at a garage sale on Friday. It was black when I bought it and here it is now: First, I spray painted it white. Then I used Mod Podge to glue on my French script paper. I used it on the back panel and then cut a little strip for the rim. I hung it up in my tearoom. I added a new candle...
