Oh what a labor of love these Alice in Wonderland dish towels have been. First, my iron burned some cheap transfer paper I had (won't be buying that brand again!). The cheap transfer paper made the iron brown and sticky. I tried cleaning it off to no avail and when I tried to use better transfer paper, brown yuck got all over the towel. Off to Walmart me and the little guy went for a brand...
As I was loading these photos tonight, it dawned on me that I really need to start taking some before pictures of my projects. Sigh! I always seem to forget. Anyway, I picked up this cigar box at the local church thrift store last Friday and wanted to use it to hold my rhinestones. But first it needed a French touch: I printed the label from The Graphics Fairy and mod podged it to the...
A busy weekend is upon us but I wanted to share this great 4th of July subway artwork that I downloaded from Barn Owl Primitives.

A few coats later they were ready to be...
I've seen a lot of these on Etsy and thought I'd try my hand at making some myself: I bought a few different sized chalkboards from Michael's along with some "beachy" paint colors. These hues actually remind me of some of the beach glass we collect from Gilgo Beach. I painted each one a different color and then sanded around the edges. The light blue one is definitely my favorite but my boys adore the...
I picked up this silver urn at our local church thrift store last week. (Is it an urn or an ewer - I'm not sure so someone please correct me if I'm calling it by the wrong name.) Anywho, I love, love, love having bird's nests and eggs through out my house. Put two and two together and you get this: I added some faux nest material to the urn and added the three eggs...
