Crafty Before and Afters

Last year I made a fall wreath using supplies I had at home. While I liked the look of it, several months of working with silks and making wreaths at work inspired me to improve it.

I like the improved look much better!

I recently acquired (for FREE!) a mirror from our delivery driver at work. I love the shape, but the bright yellow and scratches were not pretty. I had a can of red paint left over from painting my desk, so my free mirror got a free makeover.

Much better.

100th Post and a February Craft

This is our 100th post!

I found this craft on another site www.theidearoom.net. I love it. The roads were getting slick last night but we braved it and went to Walmart and Hobby Lobby to get some supplies. DJ wanted some antifreeze for the cars anyways so it wasn't a trip without a "real" purpose.
I got the felt and stick pins at Walmart and the heart wreath at Hobby Lobby. The total wreath cost about $10 when all is said and done.












Murphy's Law of Crafting: If you set up a craft, the dogs will be under-foot and the cat will repeatedly try to sit on it.

I didn't even notice Aster until I tried picking up the fabric and there was a dead weight on the end. He loves the warm fuzzy felt.

I tried folding the fabric and setting it aside so he would leave it alone.

He still sat on it.


Happy February!
