snowed in projects

with all this cold weather & snow & having to stay in (because of  the

weather and taking care of two sick girls-blech!), I've been able to get

some things done. This is one of them...

I spent hours dying and drying coffee filters in the oven.

{my family keeps asking why are we having filters for dinner}

trying to achieve the perfect shades of blush-y pink and coffee-stained cream

hung with off-white vintage-y looking seam binding

I think it was worth the effort...

love it

I'll be adding one to my shop

& putting one in Millie's room

chalk board and robins

This huge frame (it's over 3.5 feet by 2.5 feet!), hung over my Grandma's couch and had a not-so-pretty print of a man on a horse. So, I just spray painted the print itself with chalk board paint. It had a texture already so I thought it would work well. This hangs over the blue chest of drawers that I redid in my kitchen. I'm going to think of an eating theme Bible verse to put on it...

I've been playing around with some art lately and the two robin-themed ones are what I've done so far. For the egg one, I used the "egg" definiton out of an old dictionary. On the robin piece, I aged some pages out of an old french book. You could do all different kinds of themes for different vignettes.
