I've got the crafting bug

Summer is finally here. I've had this idea for a bit. I bought all the frames for a $1.00 or less. They were pretty ugly, but with a little spray paint, they turned into real gems. I just enlarged letters from the computer. The scrapbook paper is a line from the "fabulous" Amy Butler.

Wanna paint?

I got this idea from allthingsthrifty.com
I love trying new things. Some don't always work but this one I think is Fabulous!!

Field and Tote bag by Amy Butler

This bag was quite the challenge for me. She's been 9 months in the making..but well worth her weight in gold. Now, where to take her on her first trip?

Fabric and Fire

Fabric and fire, usually two words that you wouldn't want to hear in the same sentence.....unless the fabric looks like this after it's been on fire!!



I need to make some a little smaller.


The possibilities are endless......



As always the best part of this project was it was cheap and easy. (just like me)

Fabric on a Canvas

More fun with fabric and mod-podge. I have quite the obsession with birds at the moment. So I decided, I needed a feathered friend in my family room. Relatively easy project and low cost. What should I name my new friend?

Spooky Mason Jars

Check out these cute Mason jars we made for family home evening last night. You just use Mod-Podge and tissue paper. The kids had a blast. So easy, so fun. We filled the jars with Christmas lights. I saw the idea on a blog called not so idle hands. She even gives you a link for the spooky faces. Fabulous!!!

Happy Halloween

XOXO, Angela

Hello shoes

Here's the deal, I wish I could take credit for this idea but I can't. I saw it awhile ago on the U-Create blog. I thought it was simply genius! Fabric of my own choosing on shoes....seriously mind blowing. Obviously I'm easily impressed. Anyway on to bigger and better things. The SHOES!!!! My trail and error pair of shoes were Brooklyn's old ballet flats. (that were to small)

Before:


After, not to shabby.....


You can still see some streaks of the Mod-Podge. They weren't quite dry, but my panties were in a wrinkle to post them so I could get your input.



Mya was my model. She really wants to wear them to school tomorrow. I love that my girls are my cheerleaders.
