mod podge

cute paper

wood letters (from hobby lobby)

wood block

white paint

paint blocks, adhere paper, and attach letters with mod podge. 

lots of steps and all easy. the hardest part is waiting for everything to dry!

i even think that i will be doing our last name, and maybe a 'FAMILY' one but i dunno.  i just LOVE the seasonal ideas that i found HERE with the possiblities of THIS PLACE.  WOW-ZA!!!!

Feather Wreath

so i think that St. Patricks day is almost like a forgotten holiday.  we all love it on the DAY, but there is seldom planning that goes into it...... i am planning on changing that with this wreath.  i am so in love with this wreath.  not only was it cheap, but it was sooo easy!

glue gun

foam wreath

feather boas (mine took 5)

ribbon (to hang it)

and that is it!!!  so easy!!! glue an end on it, and wrap.  glue and wrap until your wreath is covered.  add the ribbon to hang and VIOLA!  its awesome.

 (ok i know this picture is AWFUL but this was done when i was nearing near death in the pregnancy, and the idea of waddleing to the door, going outside where it was cold, and then takinga picture, and then waddleing BACK to my

bless-ed was far more then i could handle.)

but this wreath i have gotten MORE compliments on then anything.  and i think this is one of my favorites ever.  and the green is a good green.  it just makes me smile!  i am just so happy that SHE was so brilliant to think of it!  yay for creative people!  =)

Valentines Wreaths

so while i was on near bedrest with thing 4 i needed something to do.  to give me a sense of accomplishment.  so while i was blog hopping i came across THIS SITE, and i decided to do it. and i have to say, it was EASY, it took a bit of time yes- but it wasnt too bad when i had to spend so much time in bed! i did find that the glue did NOT work for me. so i used the pins.....

i LOVE how they turned out!  i loved them so much i made smaller ones that will be put on a base standing at different heights next year, i was FAR to burnt out to want to look at them more.  lol probably about 20 hours pinning little fabric squares into foam wreath frames.

this is what it took, a roller cutter, fabric, and straight pins. for the little hearts i had to use sequins pins because they are thinner then the giant red hearts.

the pink one is representing thing 1, and the other one hanging is thing 2's, the 1/2 finished one is thing 3, while the dot squares is for thing 4.

 i also had made 2 two tiered topiaries, they arent finished either, i got tired of looking at it. =) so to make the 4 little hearts, and the two 2 tiered topiaries, and 2 big hearts. it cost me $40- that was because i bought SO MUCH fabric! if i would have bought the correct amount of fabric (the little hearts took like 1/4 of a yard and i bought 2 i believe) it would have only cost me like $20-$25. not bad at all!

there you have it!  pop in movie- watch edward stalk bella and pin those squares into that foam!
