While cleaning up my craft room after the mess of holiday craft shows, I got distracted. Hey, it happens. 😉 One of the things that distracted me was a stack of old craft magazines. Old craft mags and books are a little like surfing the web for me. I look at one, find something interesting, […]
Category: Valentine’s Day
Roses are red. Violets are blue. I just finished a few new signs for Valentine’s Day this last week. They are down at Trunk N’ Treasure if any of my local peeps are interested. Love signs. The “O” on these was made using handmade rosettes clustered into a heart shape. I kept this sign fairly […]
Valentine’s Day Porch Decorating
Valentine’s Day Porch As promised a few weeks ago, I am ready to reveal my Valentine’s Day decorating on my porch. I’m pretty proud of myself because everything I made was done using things I already had. This sign was made using one of my newest sign stencils. I make them myself using my Cricut. […]
Stacked Wood Valentine Decor-Blast From the Past
****This project was originally posted three years ago, but I thought it was time for a revival. I put away the Christmas decorations this week and it really looks bare around here. It’s been a few years since I did a lot of decorating for Valentine’s Day. My boys are grown ups, and let’s be […]
Wow! You gotta love a husband who is still a romantic after almost 30 years of marriage. I had unexpected company this afternoon. These beautiful people are the Cowley College Singers. They delivered a Singing Valen-gram that my husband had ordered from them. They sang two songs to me and presented me with a carnation […]
Shabby Chic “LOVE” Sign Another window of opportunity. The temperature today was in the 50s and it was sunny. Tomorrow’s weather takes a header again, so I took advantage of today’s reprieve. A new sign was just busting to come to life. I started by making a stencil with my Cricut. If you don’t have […]
Scrap Wood Heart What a beautiful day! I’ve been itching to get outside and work with my wood and today was the perfect day. My wood is fairly organized since our move, it just isn’t in the place I want it to be. I probably should have worked on moving it today, but since it’s […]
Red and White Quilt Valentine Charm Pillows
Red and White Quilt Valentine Charm Pillows My husband and I went to an auction this past weekend and didn’t get anything that we went there for. That’s okay! We didn’t leave empty handed. My hand went up for this fantastic vintage quilt. The colors and the basic patch square design had the wheels turning […]
New/Old Etsy Listings Finally! Yes, Finally! I have finally been able to unpack my Etsy merchandise that I had packed away when I was preparing to sell my house. Yep, do the math. That was eons ago. I had added things to my shop as time went on, but the things that were packed up […]
Jute Web Heart Pocket Don’t ya just love this stuff? I don’t think I have ever used it for its intended use, but when I find it during my junking journeys I just can’t pass it up. For each heart side I cut two 7-inch long strips of the webbing. Why 7 inches? Glad you […]
