wide+view[1]

I finally got my Living Room Mantel Done! I don't know why it took me so long. I get all of those Christmas boxes out and get overwhelmed - lol. I decided not to put up my living room tree this year, so I used the ornaments I usually put on the tree on my mantel!  I didn't buy anything new except for some darling .99 cent faux Mercury Glass Votives from Target!! Aren't they the cutest??? … [Read more...]

Fall Project — Reversible Candy Corn Bunting!

header+pic[2]

I love my Ruffled Burlap Pennant, but wanted to make something kind of Fall-ish and festive for this season. I thought Candy Corn would be fun since it's the same shape as a pennant and reminds me of Fall. I bought some cotton material in orange and yellow and then used some left over canvas from my Halloween Pennant Pillows for the fabric. Supplies: Orange, yellow and white fabric … [Read more...]

To celebrate the exciting Silhouette Giveaway that's going on now, I am sharing a project each day this week that was created using the Silhouette.

Get Organized with Burlap!

Here's a little project I made when I did my closet redo. I made a few more the other day. This is a stylish way to keep your jewelry or other small items organized. It would also be great in an office to keep small things like -- paper clips, staples, push pins or rubber bands organized. I used the same technique that I did when I made my burlap magnet boards, but I cut the boards narrower and … [Read more...]
