A girl can never have too many tea towels...even if she doesn't drink a whole lotta tea. =) I made this quick Marie Antoinette tea towel over the weekend: I got the beautiful image off of Etsy. I printed it out onto transfer paper and then ironed it onto the front of my dollar store towel. Once that was set, I added my ruffle trim on the bottom using fabric glue. Easy peasy! Now I...
I always have an abundance of lavender buds on hand for sachets and such. I've always stored it in a ziploc bag. Not very exciting. This morning I decided to make this lavender bottle and jars: The bottle is an old lemonade one. I used this pretty image from the Graphics Fairy on the front. I printed it onto label paper (ssssshhhhh...don't tell UPS but I used some of their label paper!) and simply stuck it...

Here is the first one I did: First, I glued some sheet music to use as my background. Then I hot glued the vintage lace around as a border. The little white frame is from Michael's but I scored it at a garage sale for 25 cents. I used a...
What is it about bees? They drive me insane outdoors but I love, love, love them for craft projects. A certain irony there, don't you think? My sister Kathy (Creative Home Expressions) used some great bee images for some items in her Etsy shop from The Feathered Nest. She directed me there a couple of weeks ago and I downloaded this sweet little bee image. I thought it would look pretty on this shabby floral...
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year here so far. Of course, we lost power. Argh! So between 6 p.m. and midnight, we sweated our little butts off. Somewhere in between dunking my head in a tub of cold water and polishing off another can of Diet Coke, I made this sheet music book stack: I used some vintage sheet music from my garage sale stash to cover these dollar store books. Remember when...
