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

feelin' the LOVE

are these cute or what?! Yes, I know they are...I love them.

I made a set for the booth at Serendipity Market and I'm making a set for my Etsy shop...

and I think I'll have to whip up a set for my 13-year-old's room(they look pretty 

cute on her bed, don't ya think? :) 

Valentines Day Fun!

This was a fun craft to do! I started with a paper mache' heart from Hobby Lobby(I just LOVE that store..), they were about 60 cents. Then I color copied the "heart" and "love" pages out of a vintage children's dictionary and tore around the edges. Used Mod Podge to glue them on randomly and some pink tissue paper. Painted on some taupe metallic paint, glued on some vintage tassel trim. For the beads, they were various old necklaces that I cut apart, mixed together and strung them on ribbon. Lastly, for some glitta and voila'!
