More front room stuff

 I took a printout from the blog Poppies at Play. You can find it here. I used that as my pattern on scrapbook paper and just modge podged it onto a piece of pine I painted white.

I also wanted to reuse the foam trees that I put up for Christmas. So, I assembled some tissue paper and tried a couple different things. This is what I came up with.

Well, that is what I have been up to, nothing too exciting. More to come. Hope you like it.

Fantastic felty headbands

I love felt crafts. I just love felt, you can get it for so cheap, and in a million colors. I am no felty snob. I don't need wool felt, just give me some good ol' fashion 0.29 cents a pop, found in the children's section of Michales, felt!

I enjoy a felty felt headband every now and again. I am always playing around and experimenting with headbands and junk. So, here are a few that I have thrown together in the wee hours of the night after I have put the Bug to bed.

 I made a matching ring to go with this one. It is just a black button that I bought at Joann. I cut off the back with some wire cutters, glued a piece of felt to the back, and then hot glued it to a blank ring base that I bought at Michaels.

(please avert your eyes from the shaggy eyebrows and the roots, thanks you're a peach)

Front Room

I am trying to give my front room a little face lift. Mostly I am just sick of the decor, so I am switching it up a little bit. Here are some projects that I have done recently.

These were some plain brown pillows from Wal-Mart. I added felt to make flower and lace from an old t-shirt for the other. The best part was that it was no sew. I just used hot glue.

My new welcome sign on the mantel. My father in-law cuts out the letters and then you can personalize them yourself, or my wonderful sister in-law also takes orders.

These are some paintings that I did.

I saw some candles that had sheet music on them in a Pottery Barn magazine, but they were pretty expensive. So, I just found a vintage sheet music print off, and wrapped the candles that I already had. I think they look pretty neat.

Well that is what I have been up to lately. Look for more updates. I am going to being doing a photo collage and a clock coming up.

Happy crafting!
