These pillows blow my mind! And they aren't even pillows! They are placemats from WALMART! They come from Home is where my story begins.

So easy and SO beautiful--you just open up the seam a little and stuff 'em. Then sew them back up! I'm going straight to Walmart tomorrow to find these babies! Thanks so much, Becca, for showing us this FABULOUS idea!

This mantel decor comes from At Second Street, and I just LOVE it! Thanksgiving is a holiday for us to be grateful, and I just adore the banner that announces it. And the wooden blocks have a soft spot in my heart--I can't get enough of them. :) Follow the link above to see her other great Thanksgiving decor ideas!

Thanks you two for making my day with such beautiful handmade items!

I Love Fridays!

Hello Everyone! If you're visiting from Friday Follow Parties and you follow me, leave me a comment with a link to your blog and I'll come visit you! :)

I'm so excited for the weekend--we've got lots of plans...a few craft fairs, a holiday open house, a movie....it's going to be busy! I've featured a couple items here from Etsy...

I love this super cute Toddler Tie Tee from SuperTot...I actually just bought this same fabric a few weeks ago and I'm going to be making my husband a tie out of it too! He's a teacher and his kids just love all the fun holiday ties I make him. I'll post pictures when it's done. :)

And these blocks are from lisabees...such a perfect combination for Thanksgiving--don't you just love the turkey?!

And take a look at these Pinecone Turkey Placecard Companions from NaturallyNatalie...I would love to have these at my table!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Rustic Home Blocks

I love these blocks I made because they look old and rustic. The vinyl lettering was tricky because there are some super itty bitty pieces, as you can see. But it was well worth it to carry the old look from the blocks onto the letters. For the blocks, I painted them soft black first, then did the antique white over the top of it. I wanted the edges to look real old, like paint peeling (not just sanded), so I used my sanding block on the edges when the paint was still a little tacky. It kind of made the paint roll off, giving it that peeled look. I got that nifty little bird house at Real Deals---love that place! :)

Spring Has Sprung!

I just got this done tonight at about 11:30! My husband came to the rescue and watched the baby so I could get it done....I was waiting all day to finish it! It feels so good to have another project completed---and this one turned out even cuter than I had imagined! If you love it, check it out on my Crafts For Sale page! I cut out the flowers by hand from patterned paper, and then I used my digital craft cutter to cut out the leaves and the vinyl lettering. Then I Mod Podged it all to the wood blocks. It really brightens up the room! If anyone has a spring type craft on your blog that you'd like to show off, leave me a comment with your blog address because I'd love to see it!

So the next thing on my list is to finish the tea dyed purse I started.....
