I'm melting. I'm melting...No kidding. It is seriously hot as you know what here. I have a bunch of makeovers planned but I just can't spray paint in this heat. =( So I've been doing some indoor projects. I made these French hotel pillowcases yesterday. Excuse the awful photos: Ignore the paint on my bedroom wall. My husband has exactly three weeks to paint it before my sons' birthday party. Anywho back to the pillowcases. ...
Hope everyone had a safe and happy July 4th! Now that I can upload photos again, I wanted to share some random projects. This is the dress form I got from Home Goods earlier this week. Ain't she pretty? I also picked up this birdcage while I was there. I loved the one my sister Kathy (CreativeHomeExpressions.Blogspot.com) did last week. I gave mine a quick birdy makeover. I added some faux dollar store moss, hand-stamped muslin...
I was in need of a little retail therapy yesterday, so I popped into our local Home Goods. Here's what I found: I'm not sure if this crown is a candleholder but I added it to my French tray.

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...
I just added these cuties to my Etsy shop. Beachy whale frames: In blue. And pink. I used my Cricut Splish Splash cartridge to make the whales and their water. I typed out beach using Word and glued it beneath each whale. I made a blue one for myself to hang in the bathroom. The boys love it...and so do I! Adds just the right touch of beachy charm! Jeanine ...
