Still recovering from our mini vacation, but I did find some time yesterday to make some new Frenchy pendants. I bought the kit while I was at Hobby Lobby. It comes with the pendants, some numbers/designs and plastic inserts. The number 2 is from the kit. For the others, I wanted to add a Frenchy touch. Problem is, the pendant space is super skinny. Not too many images will fit into such a tiny space....
Road Trip
May 28, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
We just got back from a quick road trip to Virginia. You never realize how much you miss blogging and reading everyone's blogs until you leave town without your laptop! We visit my sister who lives in Winchester 1-2 times a year. There is a Sheetz on just about every corner there. Who doesn't love Sheetz? I also popped into the local Hobby Lobby. We don't have any on Long Island, so I take...

(By the way, these are some Frenchy peat pots I made earlier this week using...

Wanted to share the quick makeover I did for the pig-shaped cutting board I picked up over the weekend. I didn't have enough chalkboard paint, so I gave it 3-4 coats of flat black paint as a primer. Then I was able to use 1-2 coats of the chalkboard paint so we could write on it. I have it on the counter in our kitchen. We love him! Jeanine ...
First Real Garage Sale Finds of the Season
May 19, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I was able to get a little garage sale shopping in this weekend. It felt good to be back on the hunt, although I didn't nab as much as I would have liked to. Here's my haul: The smaller wicker basket has already been painted white and will be added to our linen closet. I have a Frenchy makeover in mind for the larger basket ala Lin at A Tiny Cottage in the Woods. See her...
