Well that changed over the weekend when I happened to be shopping at our local TJ Maxx and found some really cute stainless steel dog dishes for $2.99 a piece. Inexpensive and cute ALWAYS catches my eye ;)...So do shiny objects that I can decorate with adding some wood using walnut stain, it tends to tone down the shininess a bit!!! They go very well togethor. Sooo I threw togethor a few 1x4's, used the brad nailer, some wood glue, stenciled letters and there ya have it!!! Easy peezy!! I like that too!!<br />
<br />
Measure just big enough for the dishes to sit right on top of the wood, its nice that way<br />
1x4's<br />
wood glue- Elmer's is the BEST<br />
brad nailer<br />
stencils<br />
paint<br />
walnut stain<br />
<br />
And our sweet Ellie loves it!!!!!<br />

So with that being said we need all the help we can get ;)..My table was "it" for me!!! I love it too..I have plenty of room to fold the laundry and not have to put it away right then if I have other things I'm busy doing at the moment. And Chevron, mannnnn it sure is a tricky design to use when measuring and sewing. It least in my opinion, but I wanted to add some Chevron somewhere in the house so I used it in the smallest area, laundry room!!!! I put togethor a small shade and added some burlap ribbon and "I like".......take a look ------->>>>>><br />

I seen some similar mugs in The Pottery Barn magazine and loved them!! We are not coffee drinkers, nor did I wanna pay the price for theirs but I still wanted some since we do love our hot chocolate in the fall & winter, as well as warm tea when we are sick. So to me that was justifiable enough :)))!!! I made a trip to our local Everythings a Dollar store and picked up some white mugs (<em>I have a love for white dishes</em>) that were of course JUST $1, everything else I had on hand. Now, there are so many different ways you could do this project but I opted for the <strong><em>super easy way</em></strong>.....I scrapbook so had TONS of stickers, yep thats right I used stickers!!! I chose the lettering I wanted and placed them right on the mugs, traced with a super fine black sharpie and <em>wa la!!</em> I let them set for about an hour and than baked them at 300 degrees for 30 minutes.....Make sure to wash the mugs before you start on your project ;)..Enjoy!!!<br />

<br />
Oh how I do love the snow and my kids love to play in it and make a snowy mess :) but we are super ready for the Spring..All the Christmas decor is down and I'm working on the kid's bedrooms for the Spring. I went on a shopping adventure at Hobby Lobby and come across these cute prepainted twig wreaths and had to have them so I bought two (large and smaller one), I hot glued the smaller wreath onto the larger wreath. I already had the D intial and some pink ribbon to place the D on the smaller wreath. I also purchased pink burlap ribbon and thats what I used for the bow (it was on sale) even better :)))!!!! <br />

Went to Hobby Lobby and purchased the glass dishes and they were on sale :))))...Used E6000 (wonderful stuff) to glue the stands to the glass and there you have it! I did purchase the monogrammed letters from Michaels as well, I just put the first letter to the name of the candy on my dishes :)....I liked the stickers for the simple fact when I change out the candy for whatever season I can change the letter as well!!

Materials:<br />
<br />
Purchased round top from Lowes $17 measures 24in<br />
Hands were purchased from Michaels<br />
Numbers from lowes and I stenciled some on<br />
Paint/stain..I stained my wood first, dried, than gently ran the paint brush over it with the choice of paint<br />
The back- to insert the hand motor you will need to measure and cut out the space provided for it to fit securely and properly!!

Thanks for visiting today :)....I want to share with you my 10 minute eazy peezy cheap project I put togethor for my kitchen. All you need is a wooden letter (I purchased mine from Hobby lobby), jute, glue gun, and some left over material for the embellished flower :). I also chose to paint my letter but either or would will work!! Start by wrapping the jute around the letter using the glue gun and start on the back of the letter, just keep wrapping and glueing in different areas as you wrap. When finished use your left over material of your choice and make the flower (tutorial below), and glue wherever you choose. I placed a pine cone in the middle of my flower for harvest season :)!!! Enjoy<br />

We both like turquoise so that was easy, however, she did let me add some burlap and creams while I allowed her orange. SO it worked out nicely and since it is a small space I wanted to keep it bright and cheery just not too bright. We added some color to the headboard that was made out of pallets by making a banner, fun stuff! Easy way to add color and character plus inexpensive and didn't take long at all :).....<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Materials:</em></strong><br />
<br />
jute/ribbon<br />
burlap/fabric<br />
glue gun<br />
scissors<br />
I used a ruler to make my triangles<br />
<br />
Trace triangles onto burlap/fabric and than cut, next, glue whatever your choice of jute or ribbon onto the triangles. I had some fabric left over from making a window shade and pillows so I used it to add some color to the banner by just cutting some strips and tying them onto the jute. Easy peezy!!!<br />

I found this antique desk/vanity online, bought it and restored it with the light turquoise I used through out her room. Removed the old hardware and replaced it with new, I went with the stainless steel since it was my daughter's room to keep it just a bit modern for her. Found the fabulous chair at the flea market, just brought it home and did absolutely nothing to it. Perfectly imperfect!!!<br />

I have made so many crafts here lately using them :)...this wreath is the latest. I'm not gonna go into some long drawn out process about this and that, I'm just gonna get straight to the tutorial. Excuse the pics, they aren't the best as my daughter was nice enough to take them for me.. These flowers are really easy to make once you get the hang of it, and oh don't get burnt with the glue gun :/..;)<br />
<br />
<em>MATERIALS:</em><br />
<br />
Hot glue gun<br />
fabric of your choice<br />
foam wreath<br />
scissors<br />
ribbon<br />
<em>and fingers that cooperate :)</em><br />
<br />
Take enough fabric to wrap around the foam wreath and I just glued it in no particular spot on the wreath to hold it in place<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhChUeFv_w92fnCR9jJKDcd1hFXrfML1JdhF5OLu3bBYGhgjHOnPhu4Gfqy7kuonbXvFTjQd3f9lnoFYr07n6PR3Fyl398OTUhHXv_H78jz40gD-H_P3-RONjhF-W79sgVisLoD_59bCps/s1600/photo%5B1%5D+(33).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhChUeFv_w92fnCR9jJKDcd1hFXrfML1JdhF5OLu3bBYGhgjHOnPhu4Gfqy7kuonbXvFTjQd3f9lnoFYr07n6PR3Fyl398OTUhHXv_H78jz40gD-H_P3-RONjhF-W79sgVisLoD_59bCps/s320/photo%5B1%5D+(33).JPG" width="292" /></a></div>
Now you are ready to start cutting your fabric for the flowers!! Have that glue gun ready<br />
<br />
I cut strips out of my fabric about 1 1/2 -2 ft long and about 4 -4 1/2 inches wide, really it can go either way, it doesn't have to be cut perfect either...like so<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1f6q2cflwjW5OUex4-1r6-MOQSXzu8xAm3OmsXpPo2o2fRR567NAv1NlobFk_WHwbt4KwqVh04v4BnWM5AHSBYASKsrwuUVOhTJFZG5i9zrpJJyceWseGMfOSN5TQ_GpZzZ4nLd0jPd0/s1600/photo%5B1%5D+(34).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1f6q2cflwjW5OUex4-1r6-MOQSXzu8xAm3OmsXpPo2o2fRR567NAv1NlobFk_WHwbt4KwqVh04v4BnWM5AHSBYASKsrwuUVOhTJFZG5i9zrpJJyceWseGMfOSN5TQ_GpZzZ4nLd0jPd0/s320/photo%5B1%5D+(34).JPG" width="320" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will want to cut out about 10-15 of these pieces, once you have'em cut place glue all along the edge of the bottom half and than fold the top over onto the glue..run your fingers over the fabric that was glued togethor. Now you are ready to start twisting, wrapping, and glueing, careful not to burn those fingers!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em>making the flowers- practice, practice, practice!!</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I start by wrapping the fabric around my finger and tuck, and twist loosely to make it look like a rose/flower and glueing as I go along..of course when you start wrapping start at one end of the fabric :)</div>

make sure to glue randomly as you wrap, also at the end of the material and while making the flower!!! When you have your flower done place glue all along the bottom of it and start placing them on the wreath..</div>

I bought this fabric from Walmart, I loved it from the <em>moment</em> I laid eyes on it so I bought quiet a bit of it and made a few things than realized I had to get more!! Thats where the shower curtain comes in. I had been wanting to change up some things in the bathroom and give it a fresh new look and this sure was one way of doing so and it looks gorgeous, especially with the added flowers... Not posting pics of the entire room as I'm still working on it, but pics surely to come soon!!<br />

Ever had a wonderful idea or a few, or in fact maybe more than a few?? Yeah, and you know exactly what you wanna do and how to do it??? It all seems so simple up there in that white cloud slightly to the side of your brain and just when you start to actually put your hands and thoughts togethor that wonderful idea just disappears into a million pieces...<strong><em>kinda like a puzzle that's not put togethor!!!</em></strong> I know I can't be the only one ;)....yesterday and today have been just those kinda days for me, ugh!!! I will succeed though!! I only have 10 projects going on at the same time-that I WILL finish!! So, with that being said I took a break, YES a break and took a few photographs that I needed so much for some inspiration!! So far, it's working #thankyou to the camera inventor ahhhhhh!! It helps out knowing I have an obsession withe rugs, baskets, brown, and VINTAGE!!!! :)<br />

I have been super busy with catching up on projects and the "mom" life :)....so please, come back!! There will be more post to come I promise!! <br /><br />One of the many reasons as to why I have neglected my blog would be none other than an exellent excuse of Slom jars!! I was sooo inspired when I visited "The Painted Hive"s blog and seen her tutorial on the jars that I knew this was a project to be in my NEAR future...I did mine a little different because I'm forever changing my mind that if I decided to change my labels I didn't want it to be such a tidious task. See below, I love them!!!</b></span><b><u><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium;"></span></span></u></b></b><br />

It was all worth it though!<br />
<br />
<em>MATERIALS</em><br />
<br />
-Decal transfer paper (you can purchase online <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180837981599">http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180837981599</a>) very inexpensive<br />
-Can of spray enamel (acrylic didn't hold up for me)<br />
-dry paper towel, wet paper towel<br />
-small bowl of water<br />
-Ink jet printer (not laser)<br />
-timer (I didn't use one but some may prefer)<br />
-jars<br />
-blow dryer<br />
<br />
as far as labels go I made my own it's really easy, you can use word, photoshop, etc to make your labels<br />
I also used a template from "The Painted Hive" as she was sooo kind to make them and share!! click and print <a href="http://thepaintedhive.blogspot.com/2012/02/magic-decal-transfer-tutorial-with-free.html">http://thepaintedhive.blogspot.com/2012/02/magic-decal-transfer-tutorial-with-free.html</a>.... once you have printed your labels spray the sheets really well with the spray enamel and let dry, <em>I let mine dry for a couple of hours, I wanted to make sure I had a good seal</em><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Making sure you have your labels in which ever you decide to do, cut each label into a nice square as it seems to work better and looks much nicer as well. I went ahead and cleaned my jars really well as these are NOT dishwasher safe. Not only will it mess up your label but the seal as well, so do not place in the dishwasher!<br />
<br />
Once you have your labels printed out, cut, and jars cleaned get your small bowl of water ready and make sure the water isn't hot or too warm. Choose on the jar where you would prefer to place your label and dampen that area with your paper towel (you may have to dampen it a few times) while waitng on your label in the bowl<br />

<br />
<br />
Place the label in the small bowl of water for about 45-50 seconds or when you feel the clear paper start to separate from the backing and you can get a good hold on it with your fingers, <strong><em>be gentle!</em></strong> you don't want it to rip as it's very fragile...........<br />
<br />
if you are able to sperate the paper from the backing, remove from water and gently place your thumb under the clear paper to gently transfer it onto the desired area of the jar, yes you will have bubbles!! That's the F.U.N part, working out the bubbles, did I mention fun????????<br />

Is enough to keep me sane at the moment while we are living in this duplex :/, but hey at least we have a roof over our heads right?? trying.to.be.optimistic.here but when living in an apt I mean c'mon, they are only so big with a three year old boy running around...poor fella or poor mom?? Ha. Really poor guy! So for now I live off of my daily inspiration until we decide on a home that we like, hopefully soon since I'm gathering all these ideas and such for the new place..#hugeinspiration</div>

Hey there, I never realized all the different things that could be made from pallets, but than again I don't think its ever really something I've just sit and thought about either! :). Anyhoo so as I speak of pallets I want to share with you the storage bench that we made out of PALLETS! Easy stuff! All you need is a couple of pallets ( <em>I used 2 pallets, and had plenty left over),</em> hardware for the top of your choice, and some castors. Measure the size you would like your bench to be, (<em>mine was 3ft wide)</em> and start cutting, and drilling.... fun stuff huh?? You can personalize it with a special date or some kind of personal message. I just used word software (<em>Century Schoolbook)</em> font. Print out your numbers/letters and cut, tape those onto the bench in desired area and trace around than remove. Paint and sand a little, I used the sponge paintbrush to make it look more vintage like...Really adds character and sand syour hardware ;)... I promise I'am going to start doing tutorials!!!!! Rather than using this as as a bench right now I have to admit that I'm rather enjoying the use of it being a coffee table right at the moment.......</div>

So the Farmhouse table....oh yes I love!!! I don't have a huge family, but of course do have enough family members to fill my table ;) but I've always been a fan of big tables. So when we made this I decided that we were going to go BIG and we did......it's the largest table I've ever owned and I wouldn't change it!........<br />

E6000 glue from Michaels (best glue for these projects)<br />
level<br />
White paint or your color preference<br />
Clear coat spray paint (water resistant)<br />
Plates<br />
2 Candleholders (purchased from Michaels) long and short<br />
<br />
Eazy Peezy!!! I took the wood candleholders that I painted white & than sprayed a clear coat that was water resistant over the white paint and let dry. After the candleholders are dry your stand will be ready to put togethor. So I just used some plates I already had and used the smaller one for the top. Make sure the area that your plates will be sitting on to set up are level. I than applied E6000 on the bottom of the long candleholder and attached it to the bottom plate making sure it was in the middle and even...next I applied E6000 on the top of the same candleholder and placed the small plate on top of that so the weight helped with the set up..let those dry using the appropriate setup time and than use the same glue to attach the small candleholder on top of the small plate!!! And your done!!!! Sorry next time I will take pictures of the process :/..Enjoy!creativeDIYgalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14171933730386701757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676915592126181364.post-51781710704485612292012-02-06T23:09:00.000-06:002012-02-06T23:09:52.165-06:00Cupcake Stand<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5mJluUttdK9-kaZaxj-Q-U7xBQKoW3eXVlmWmjlY4ELiPOrIkIVcCZ3I55UGLTP4rua-VUhtMKazsZOzJl-uT0ZoKSQvXbbPaLPvzCsp8ojAUeP4ZKoTr1BKuQbLyEFQdJuzG7PhurYE/s1600/100_2060.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5mJluUttdK9-kaZaxj-Q-U7xBQKoW3eXVlmWmjlY4ELiPOrIkIVcCZ3I55UGLTP4rua-VUhtMKazsZOzJl-uT0ZoKSQvXbbPaLPvzCsp8ojAUeP4ZKoTr1BKuQbLyEFQdJuzG7PhurYE/s320/100_2060.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmO7A7FjBGmD7xGCu5AHUb_ilniTQ8hw7tHpW0Nwd7w4dQBMXYNF3sq4AGNUAj6_EtdQQV5lyZs4Gv2aIGL35TMZy2kFRlwKySeCeU5X2XFhgbzuCQMvk3swBf8CDcVgTCq-DD78wjkU/s1600/100_2067.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmO7A7FjBGmD7xGCu5AHUb_ilniTQ8hw7tHpW0Nwd7w4dQBMXYNF3sq4AGNUAj6_EtdQQV5lyZs4Gv2aIGL35TMZy2kFRlwKySeCeU5X2XFhgbzuCQMvk3swBf8CDcVgTCq-DD78wjkU/s320/100_2067.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxVbkRep4cHbSJhebc2PnOncBlcw2KVoPUmNE_Yezsmjni4pwr0VIs6WWicBWRNHdF_QTYthwdb0yYtjp4JrRuKxYZ-v5UKz6d4EYwOLgcqvvs74ubOsmqMzdQiVsEQbA-F3mgBngz2Y/s1600/100_2066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxVbkRep4cHbSJhebc2PnOncBlcw2KVoPUmNE_Yezsmjni4pwr0VIs6WWicBWRNHdF_QTYthwdb0yYtjp4JrRuKxYZ-v5UKz6d4EYwOLgcqvvs74ubOsmqMzdQiVsEQbA-F3mgBngz2Y/s320/100_2066.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
