Here's what I woke up to this morning... Yup, we got snowed in thanks to last night's blizzard a.k.a. Nemo. This is the view from my porch. I don't want to jinx myself, but we luckily did not lose power. Fingers crossed that we clean up and get out before Monday. View from our backyard. My sister will be happy to know she missed 3 feet+ of snow from her old Long Island stomping grounds!...

Quick Bunny Towels
February 07, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Yes, I have already starting making Easter goodies. Mainly because Easter is early this year (March 31st), and I have to get things into my Etsy shop. Since I was in a bunny mood, I decided to make two tea towels using this great image from The Graphics Fairy. I buy these towels at Walmart. I think you get something like 6 towels for $2.99. I keep them on hand whenever the tea towel mood...
Upcycled Goodwill Frames

And here they are after a couple of coats of spray paint (yes, I braved the cold just so I...

February 04, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
Another chilly day here. A bit of snow is still on the ground. The ground hog in this neck of the woods saw his shadow on Saturday and you know what that means: 6 more weeks of winter. Sigh! I'm so ready for spring. I'm thinking about warmer days, blue skies and all of the projects I have waiting for spray paint or chalk paint. Too cold to do them. Dreaming of my toes in...
French Bird Plaque
February 02, 2013 / BY Okio B Designs
I picked up this little wood plaque a few months ago at the local church thrift store. Last night I gave it a few coats of white paint and decided to make a sweet little French bird plaque with it: I used some waterslide decal paper again. I had used it a couple of weeks ago on a terrarium and love the look. I used this great French bird image which is floating all around...

Who couldn't use a little love? Just playing around with some fabric and stamps, and a small embroidery hoop for Valentine's Day. Glue on a Scrabble letter and you have a sweet little decoration. Jeanine ...
