We're gearing up for yet another snow storm here. Sigh. I'm sooooo ready for spring. This weather has put me in a bit of a funk. I have the motivation; I just don't seem to have the desire to go shopping (someone call the doctor quick!). So I've been working with whatever I have in the house and re-making some items I've worked on before. I picked up this vintage wood frame from a garage...
Petite Peat Pots
January 17, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I've had these petite peat pots since summer. I picked them up at an estate sale and just kind of forgot about them. While I was re-arranging my craft room/office, I saw them and decided to make some sweet new religious ones. I've used these images before. I bought them from Etsy and they are teeny tiny but perfect for these little pots. I started by painting each pot white. Then I printed out my...

Case in point, these LOVE candles. I used some dictionary paper and this great image I got from Etsy. I simply printed the image onto the dictionary paper and used Glue Dots to attach to each candle. I just had to add some bling...

A local hardware store was having a basement sale today. I caught the ad on Craigslist and after my son's basketball game, we popped over. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Tons of old brass letters. And I got the crates that hold them as well. I didn't see too many vowels but I still have to flip through them. I picked up a few vintage frames. The little...
Turning an Oops into an Ooh La La
January 08, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I am so lost in the fabric store. Truly, no lie. We have a great little one not too far from our house. I popped in on Monday because I needed muslin for my Etsy shop. Usually I bring in a piece of what I need, but this time I thought I could wing it. I mean how many different types of muslin can there be? Clearly, a lot. I came home with the...
