Mirror Makeover

I have had this mirror up in my living room for a long time (and yes I do need to update my family pictures... sheesh). Before I knew about vinyl cutting machines I searched everywhere for some black letters to put our name on this mirror. I found some at the craft store and they did the job but looks so BORING. Now that I have a Sillhouette (blessed day, I love that thing) I remade the letters to be a bit fancier. I had to point-edit a lot of this font around, but I like how it turned out....


He is Risen Blocks

I wanted to make something to help us remember the reason for Easter and this is what I came up with. I had a different idea in mind before I made them but I think they turned out better than I had hoped! Happy Easter!

Clover Hanger

I made this a while back to hang on my door fence for St. Patrick's Day. I was so proud of myself for learning how to cut with a scroll saw! I should have appreciated 7th grade shop class more. See previous posts for door hangers for every month/ holiday of the year...

Valentine's Stacker

A little late for the holiday, I know. But here's my finished Valentine's stacker. I felt proud for finding this paint for $.19, the paper secondhand at Goodwill, and leftover dollar store ribbon. This wood was also given to me for free. I like that...

Lucky Blocks

Feeling lucky? St. Patrick's Day blocks and stacker...


Love Coaster Hanger

I went searching at Goodwill for some little plates for a Valentine's Day hanger but found these plain coasters for $2 instead... hmm, what would those look like hung on a wall? I slapped some easy vinyl on them and plan to staple them vertically to a ribbon to hang on the wall. Maybe some rafia, a bow, and presto. Super cheap Valentine's decor.

Wee basket...

A basket. A wee little basket. Made by me, with Jul's help. Never thought I'd make one of these!


Sign Boards: Bathroom, Laundry, Heaven

Simple sign boards- One for laundry, one for bathroom, and one for my sweet Grandpa who is missing his sweetheart...(my dad cut and stained that one).
