Cork board art

I made this cork board calendar for my friend. SUPER CUTE!

Renew and reuse

I found this set of chairs at the dump and decided to save them. With a quick sanding and a fresh coat of paint that turned out like new. They will certainly get some good use sitting around the camp fire this summer.

Upcycle

I took and afternoon and made a wood pallet bench. It was so simple and easy and only took about an hour to complete. There will definitely be more pallet projects to come.

Crochet LOVE

Here is my latest crochet blanket! I'm really happy with the outcome. I have finally grasped the end chains and skipping a stitch after the end chain. I should have put a picture of my first attempt. My blanket was tapering and I couldn't figure out why. This one turned out perfect though. It will make a great birthday present for my mother.

Paper Ornaments

My cousin Amy told me how to make these ornaments. You cut 20 equal size circles out of scrap book paper. Make three folds in the paper to form and equal lateral triangle. Then glued them together to form a globe shape. I think I an going to make some smaller ones into Christmas tree ornaments.

Crochet Blanket

I have FINALLY completed one from start to finish. I am in love with the finished project and the love the steele blue color. I am going tostart another one right away but this time I would like to try stripes.

Contact Paper Silhouette

I love love love using contact paper for wall decor. It is so versatile and it comes is many different designs and patterns. For this I free handed a deer silhouette on the back of white contact paper. I carefully cut it out. Using a credit card to smooth out the air bubbles, I peeled the backing from the contact paper and smoothed it onto a painted piece of poster board. I was dying to add some lace pattern to it to make it more feminine and classy but after talking with Anthony he loved it so much he wanted it to go in his "man cave" so we opted for no lace.
