Snowman Pillow


Another project that I had put off finishing for months. I have another one to finish but I ran out of stuffing so I need to pick some of that up first.

New Treasures

Some new treasures I got from Ebay. A spoon made to look old, it's really heavy too, love it.
3 little candle holders with candle stubs. So cute. Not I'm off to find homes for these guys.

Sugar Molds


I have seen these on other blogs and webshots and I found a recipe to make them that is really simple, so I thought I would try it and see how they come out. I need to find some real little cake or jell-o molds for a different look but these were really easy to do and they came out ok. My hardest part was finding a place for them. I got the recipe here...Primitives from Above

O Christmas Tree


I have had this done since before Christmas but just could not find a frame to fit. I have looked at all the dollar stores but they have had really thin frames that I did not care for. My Mom is going through her house and downsizing some stuff and she gave this to me. Hurray!!! Finally a frame that fits..thank you Mom.

Another jar

Got another jar label made up, this time I just typed out the words in Microsoft Word and then printed it out. I just used regular printer paper, no problems with it sticking to the jar, just that when I wash the extra glue off with water I have to be careful or it will rip the paper. I am now on a mission to find some old graphics I can use to make some more.

Another project done

Finished another project..hurray, I'm on a roll. This is what I store my dog food in. It was just a cream color so I painted it black first then did the mustard yellow. Sanded it down just a bit (more then what is showing) but since this gets used every day I figured it would get its own wear out of it. I also did my trash can the same way (below picture) a few months ago except I used red paint.

Yeah, a project done!!!

Finally I got a project done. I have a lot started but I just haven't had the time or the desire to get them done. I'm seen around the blog world that everyone is into putting labels on everything. While I did go on ebay and do a search for them, the extra money is just not there right now ( dh is unemployed) so I printed this off line from Twigs and Sprigs website, she also has a few more there. I soaked it in some leftover coffee and the glued it to the jar. Added some cheesecloth to the top and voila...old jar. I put some clothespins in it for now, as I don't use powered laundry detergent (use liquid) so I had none of that to put in it, but for now the clothespins work.
This is where I put it, this is on top of my washer. It hids the ugly pipes..lol
